The casting reveals a complex and accurate design tool. A modern and advanced die casting enables precise and optimum shape design that is consistent with the mechanical properties of the die-cast zinc alloy.
In medical technology, die-cast zinc is used for many years. Overall, however, this area of ​​application is less known. The support unit has an exemplary design and is very sophisticated in design, mold making and casting technique. The intelligent component design achieves high dimensional stability even at high loads. The casting reveals a complex and accurate design tool, the high design freedom of die-cast zinc is used fully. The tool technical design allows high precision in all functional dimensions and delivers the required tolerances of the castings.
