  • Apparatus and method for simultaneous usage of multiple die casting tools
    Patent number: 8240356
    Abstract: A die casting apparatus and method evidencing increased apparatus output including the ability of using multiple die tools. The apparatus includes an indexing assembly removably engaged with at least one die block assembly for transporting between four stations, including an injection station, a cooling station, an ejection station, and a recovery station. The injection station includes a frame, a clamp assembly attached to the frame for clamping and releasing the die block assembly, a shot sleeve assembly engaged with the die block assembly for receiving molten material, such as metal, from a furnace means and injecting the molten material into the die block assembly, and a shot cylinder releasably coupled with the shot sleeve assembly for controlling the injection of molten material.
