  • Casting machine system and process for producing hybrid metal/plastic articles
    Patent number: 8376025
    Abstract: A casting machine system includes a first casting machine and a separate second casting machine, wherein the first casting machine is a metal-casting machine and the second casting machine is a plastic-casting machine, or the first casting machine is a plastic-casting machine and the second casting machine is a metal-casting machine. An associated process produces hybrid metal/plastic articles. The casting machine includes a transfer device for transferring a precursor product, produced by a first casting process in the first casting machine, to the second casting machine, in which a hybrid metal/plastic component is formed from the precursor product by a second casting process, and a temperature-regulating device for regulating the temperature of the precursor product in a controllable manner after its removal from the first casting machine, and before starting the second casting process.
