More Information
Summary:A casting machine includes a processing cylinder formed in a thermally conductive block. The cylinder has a processing chamber, a first end configured to receive the metal feed stock and a second end. An injector cylinder formed in the thermally conductive block has a shooting pot coupled to the second end of the processing cylinder by a passage configured to permit feed stock to pass from the processing cylinder into the shooting pot. A nozzle is coupled to the injector cylinder and to the mold. A processing drive drives the feed stock from the first end of the processing cylinder through the passage into the shooting pot. A heater is thermally coupled to the processing cylinder to heat the feed stock. An injector plunger coupled to an injector actuator for driving the plunger sufficiently to force the metal from the shooting pot through the nozzle and into the mold.
