Zinc Die casting
The zinc die casting department runs five Frech Diecasting Machines ranging through from 20t, 50t, 80t and 125t locking force.
This enables a spread across the component range from 6g casting weight up to 600g casting weight.
Some 30% of our zinc diecasting components are destined for decorative plated applications and require a suitable cast quality finish. This is achieved by a combination of the die setters experience, the controllable functions of the frech machines and the die design.
Many of the dies Jones and Wilkinson run are based on the unit die philosophy which allows lower cost dies to be run on a common bolster. This facilitates quicker changeovers and thus smaller batch runs, nominally 500/1000 shot runs at no high premium casting rate.
