Aluminium Castings, Investment Castings, Polyurethane Mouldings
|
| Castech take your design requirements and progress them all the way through to tooling, to prototype proving and ultimately into production. We control every stage in the aluminium castings process to ensure absolute product integrity. As a leading, single source supplier to such diverse high-tech industries as medical, military, communications, electronics, analytical and engineering, we're in the business of producing... • Precision Aluminium Castings Combining the expertise acquired over 40 years of experience in this well-proven process with the latest advances in aluminum sand casting technology. • Precision Investment Castings In High strength non-ferrous materials such as Cast Alloys & modern Copper Alloys, using unique non-ferrous investment casting technology which enables the rapid production of lightweight components with complex detail and superfine surfaces to be achieved on non-ferrous materials. |
 |
Incorporating the newest developments in the reaction injection moulding (RIM Mouldings / Polyurethane Mouldings) process to produce high integrity parts using low cost, high quality tooling.
In all processes, we use the most advanced 3D CAD/CAM technology to communicate and produce tooling to the essential high standards - all carried out within our ISO 9001 Quality Approved System.
Castech (UK) Ltd for all your aluminium castings, investment castings and polyurethane moulding needs!
More Information:
Precision Aluminium Castings:
Castech Aluminium Castings specialise in providing single source solutions embracing every stage of the process in the manufacture of Aluminium Sand Castings, from initial design consultation to delivery of finished components.
Prototypes:
Top Quality development aluminium castings can be produced without incurring the usual high costs of tooling.
Pattern Equipment and Tooling:
High quality production tooling for aluminium castings can be modified at any stage to accommodate design changes, but for prototype aluminium castings, low cost tooling manufacture methods are available.
Foundry:
The use of fully certificated aluminium Ingot LM6 – LM25 – LM9 – and LM4 are standard materials for our production of Aluminium Castings, however alternatives are available depending upon customer specification.
Ultra fine grade natural loam is the main moulding medium, but for larger aluminium castings, we manufacture moulds using the CO-2 air set process. Cores to create internal features are also produced using this method and once again using fine graded sands. Automatic temperature controlled furnaces produce the molten metal, essential for consistent high quality aluminium castings.
Finishing/Fettling:
Aluminium Castings are hand finished by our highly skilled workforce and checked for accuracy and consistency using specific gauges and jigs. A final shot blasting process enables anodising, alochroming or painting to be applied without further surface treatment.
Inspection:
All our Aluminium Castings are individually inspected during the production processes and on completion, with inspection reports provided as appropriate, all to our ISO 9001 Certification.
Machining:
In-house machined aluminium cast components are thoroughly inspected prior to delivery. Certificates of Conformance or Inspection reports can be provided as appropriate. Fully equipped in-house machining facilities include C.N.C. milling and turning together with conventional methods of machining.
Painting:
In- house painting facilities include powder coating and wet spray painting of Aluminium castings produced by us, we are also pleased to paint other matching free issued components should you require.
Sub-Contract Processes:
These include Heat Treatment (to varying specifications), X-Ray, Crack Detection, Anodising, Alochroming, Sealant Impregnation, Hot Isostatic Pressing and Plating.
Close Tolerances:
Our very accurate mould and core assembly techniques produce aluminium castings with tolerances of +_ 0.4 mm on castings up to 300mm (pro rata thereafter). Casting thickness down to 3mm, or as low as 2mm in local areas can be achieved. Draft angles of 1 to 1.5 are the norm, however square faces can also be achieved where required to reduce machining or create a matching face.
Quality Control:
Stringent Quality Control procedures apply throughout production, as reflected by our ISO 9001 Standards. Specific customer requirements and MOD specifications can be met within our procedures for the production of aluminium castings.
Pattern Equipment and Tooling Manufacture:
Combining traditional skills with 3D CAD/ CAM facilities to produce high quality tooling and cast aluminium components fast, with absolute accuracy, using C.N.C. machining technology.
We have various facilities at our disposal to receive 3D CAD/CAM information.
Electronic Communication:
We can accept design briefs via Email, or CD ROM, Ideally information should be in 3D solid model formulated IGES, backed up by 2D machining drawings.
We Very Much Look Forward To Receiving Your Enquiries for Precision Aluminium Cast Components.
