Patent ID: 6978823

Claim:
A multiple-slide die-casting machine, comprising: a frame; a table operatively mounted to the frame, the table being displaceable with respect to the frame at least between a casting position and a break-off position; a slide guiding mechanism secured to the table and having at least two slides, each said slide having a die section at an operating end thereof, the at least two slides being actuatable in a close/open action such that the die sections mate at a parting line therebetween to form a die cavity; an injection unit mounted to the frame so as to be immovable and adapted to be connected to a molten medium supply means, the injection unit having a nozzle and being adapted to inject molten medium from the supply means into the die cavity through the nozzle for casting a piece; and a relative displacement configuration operatively supporting the table to the frame and having actuation means operatively connected between the table and the frame such that the table is displaceable with respect to the injection unit between the casting position in which the die sections on the table are engaged with the nozzle of the injection unit at the parting line of the die sections for casting of a product in said die cavity, and the break-off position in which the die sections on the table are disengaged from the nozzle for ejection of a cast product from the die cavity.
