Is die casting suitable for parts manufacturing in the automation industry?
The die casting process is the fastest option for producing precise metal parts. This method uses reusable molds, so parts can be produced at high speeds and has the flexibility to manufacture a wider range of shapes and sizes than other casting methods. Die casting can fully meet the needs of metal parts manufacturing for automation industry equipment, and its reusable molds also make it an affordable option. This technology is a very cost-effective option for manufacturing products related to the industrial automation industry. It is also ideal for manufacturing medium-sized parts with more complex structures for automation equipment.

Engineering Support for Automation Die Castings
Our dedicated and experienced engineering team serving customers in the automation industry will assist your business throughout the project from early concept to full production. Elimold’s engineers use computer-aided engineering (CAE), and with their extensive technical experience, they can optimize the design of rapid prototypes, die casting molds, and castings. In addition, our engineers are very professional in the application of CAE, including:
- Pro/Engineer and Pro/Manufacture ensure the feasibility of your product design, tooling design, and production.
- Proficiency in handling CAD/CAM files in virtual systems
- Simulation flow analysis predicts how the mold will fill, solidify, and cool, thereby reducing the risk of defects in die cast parts.
- Valuable engineering solutions help reduce costs throughout the manufacturing process
Die Casting Tooling
Our in-house tooling capabilities streamline your entire die casting production. We handle design, manufacturing, and maintenance under one roof, eliminating the delays and miscommunication common with outsourced tooling. And our expert tooling engineers do more than review your drawings. Advanced mold flow analysis proactively identifies potential issues, saving you time and money during production.
Secondary CNC Machining
We offer more than just die castings. Take advantage of our comprehensive services, including precision CNC machining for complex designs and tight tolerances. Plus, our investment in high-tech equipment and expertise ensures exceptional accuracy, with tolerances as close as ±0.0015mm (JIS B6336). And we excel at handling high-mix, low- to medium-scale projects where flexibility and custom are critical.
Our Commitment
At Elimold, our team continually demonstrates that we have the experience, expertise, and commitment to produce high-quality die cast parts for automation industry automation equipment products, regardless of the simplicity, complexity, or size of the component.

Types of Metals Used in Die Casting
Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals. Different machines will be used to produce different automation equipment parts depending on the type of metal being cast.
- Aluminum
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Brass
- Copper
Finishing and post-processing
- Annealing: This process relieves internal stresses in metals caused by heat treatment, welding, or machining. It makes the metal more ductile and less brittle and improves its machinability.
- Shot Bead Blasting: This process uses steel shot to remove surface impurities and create a smooth, even finish. The advantages of shot bead blasting include a clean surface, improved adhesion, and increased corrosion resistance.
- Chromate Conversion: Adding multiple coats and cleanings creates a thin, protective layer on the surface of the aluminum and other metals. It improves corrosion resistance and durability.
- Clear Anodizing: This process creates a protective layer on the surface of aluminum parts. It is ideal for applications where the cosmetic appeal is essential. Clear anodizing provides advantages such as many color choices, extended service life, and improved corrosion protection.
- E-Coating: This method can provide a protective layer for metal parts. Electrophoretic coating has the advantages of strong anti-corrosion performance, good durability and a wide range of color options.
- Black Zinc Chromate: This plating process gives a black finish to metal parts often used for cosmetic purposes.
- Bright Zinc Chromate: This plating process gives a bright, shiny finish to metal parts also used for cosmetic purposes.
- Yellow Zinc Chromate: The plating process gives metal parts a yellow finish.
- Liquid Paint: This process gives a smooth, even finish to metal parts. It is available in a wide range of colors.
- Pad Printing: This process allows for transferring complex designs and patterns onto metal surfaces.
- Powder Coat Paint: This technique leaves metal components with a smooth, uniform appearance. There are a variety of colors to choose from.
- X-Ray: We offer in-house X-Ray capabilities to ensure the quality of your product.
- Assembly: We offer various assembly services to put your product together.
