Want to minimize cost and downtime for spray system installation? Integrating new equipment can be costly and time-consuming — especially when on-site adjustments need to be made during or after equipment installation. EcoShot® can help solve these problems with our Die Spray Simulation. EcoShot® uses advanced simulation to optimize cycle time, improve part quality, and minimize downtime. Our Simulation can help you verify your die lube thickness, nozzle placement/tip variet

There are many challenges die casters can face with their production- cost, defects, cycle time, and downtime- to name a few. Specialized in die lubricant spray systems, EcoShot can help you overcome these challenges and improve your production with our spray system. In this series of articles, we will show you our solutions to your problems. Problem: Lubricant application process makes the overall cycle time longer. The two most time-consuming steps in die casting are: 1) Di

How to improve casting quality, decrease cycle times, and extend die life Decreased cycle time, low scrap rates, minimized porosity, improved surface finish, long die life, and effective die cooling are goals all die casters strive towards. Recent innovations in die lubrication technology can help you realize these goals while minimizing capital expenditure. Oil-based lubricants adhere to the die at higher temperatures but do not offer surface cooling. Conversely, water-based
