The High-pressure Diecasting process by machine makes it possible to produce large series for a reasonable price. The forms with very complex design from alloyed hot-forming steel allow more than 100,000 presses. Aluminium Laufen AG makes pressure cast parts from 5g to 4kg. In doing so we produce light, thin-walled cast parts, that particularly favour small tolerances, a flat smooth surface and sharp contours. For complex or highly-stressed parts, we are able to use a vacuum piece to enlarge our die casting machine.

With our die casting machine, we process approximately 200 tonnes of aluminium annually.

The difference in laminar diecasting process is the slow mould filling with precisely controlled final speed and the high final density. Because of the very low casting speeds, the casts have no flash and there is also no tendency to stick to the mould wall. In addition, alloys can be cast in the laminar diecasting process in the same way as in low pressure diecasting or gravity diecasting. Laminar diecasting is ideal for thin-walled parts with high loads - in the pressure test is 30 % better than that of comparable gravity diecastings. In addition, the finished components are lighter than gravity diecastings.
