Spray Systems for Large Die Casting Machines

| Produkte, Technologie, Unternehmen


Giga and megacasting are reshaping die casting production. Larger die surfaces, extreme thermal loads and cycle times under ten seconds demand spray systems that can keep up at every scale.

The rise of gigacasting for structural automotive components creates demands that physically exceed conventional spray concepts. Die surfaces spanning several square meters, high cyclic thermal loads and short cycle times require spray systems that are precise, reproducible, and highly dynamic at the same time.

Wollin offers two coordinated system concepts for these requirements: robotic spray solutions with one, two or three coordinated ESR robots, and portal systems from the ESM8 series for maximum payload and reach.


2- or 3-robot spray solution

The flexible entry-level solution for large-surface spraying: two or three ESR robots work in coordination and together cover the entire mold surface. The modular design enables short changeover times when switching mold geometries.

From 5,000 t clamping force

Suitable for the new generation of large die casting machines in gigacasting.

Vertical stroke up to 3,000 mm

Sufficient reach for large-format tooling and complex die geometries.

135–190 kg payload per robot

Designed for heavy mask spray tools and large-surface applications.

Modular: 1, 2 or 3 robots

Configuration scalable to mold size and process requirements.

Compatible with ABB, Fanuc, KUKA

Integration into existing robot cells without major retrofitting.

Reproducible spray quality

Consistent coverage across the full die surface — cycle after cycle.


ESM8 portal systems

For applications requiring maximum payload and large strokes, Wollin offers three portal configurations from the ESM8 series. All variants are designed for die casting machines up to 9,000 t.

Mask spray tools for complex geometries

For structural parts with complex geometries — battery housings, Shock Towers, floor structures — Wollin develops custom mask spray tools. They enable precise, geometry-matched spraying while minimizing release agent consumption and spray time.

 

The combination of coordinated robot kinematics and geometry-specific mask spray tooling enables short spray times even for large, complex mold surfaces — without any compromise on reproducibility.
