The “big guy” who weighs more than 400 tons and condenses the integrated die-casting technology of the automobile industry is here. Recently, the world’s leading die-casting solution provider, the Swiss Bühler Group, delivered the first 6100T super-large die-casting machine to a Chinese company and settled in Zhuzhou Yi’an Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Zhuzhou Yi’an” for short). Install and debug in an orderly manner.
According to industry insiders, the integrated die-casting of auto parts has broad prospects in terms of vehicle lightweighting and economic benefits. Compared with the “stamping + welding” method usually used in automobile manufacturing, the number of production parts required for integrated die-casting as a new technology has dropped sharply, and the welding and gluing links have been greatly reduced, which greatly simplifies the overall production process of the body.
The Bühler Group is a multinational company with a history of more than 160 years and is a global leader in the field of die casting equipment. Many years ago, Zhuzhou Yian discussed the possibility of introducing large-scale die-casting equipment into the Chinese market with Buhler Group, and signed an order agreement in April last year. With the strong support and coordination of the Zhuzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Zhuzhou Yi’an strictly followed the epidemic prevention and control policy. It took more than a year to deliver the super-large die-casting machine of over 400 tons to Zhuzhou in batches. The commissioning is expected to be completed in July. and put into use. This indicates that Zhuzhou Yi’an will gain a first-mover advantage in the domestic automotive integrated die-casting field.
Zhuzhou SDIC Group controlled Dongguan Yi’an Technology Co., Ltd. through the capital market in 2018. In July 2020, Yi’an Technology established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Zhuzhou – Zhuzhou Yi’an Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and fully launched the “new energy vehicle zero”. Parts” item. The project is located in Jinshan Industrial Park, Hetang District, dedicated to the research and development, production and sales of aluminum and magnesium alloy precision structural parts for new energy vehicles and rail transit vehicles. It is expected to be completed and put into production by the end of this year.
