Downsizing, weight and exhaust gas reduction, CO2 emissions – these are the major issues in modern casting technology. "We optimize the processes and develop new technologies that deliver convincing results and ensure the highest levels of cost-effectiveness and process stability in the harsh foundry environment," explains Thomas Rathner, Head of the Fill Casting Technology Competence Center.

The low pressure caster b low-pressure casting machine can also be used as a basic machine for back-pressure die casting. This innovation is characterized by a larger clamping surface and a longer stroke in a small design. Further benefits include simple handling and ergonomic, service-friendly maintenance. Together with a fully automated shuttle system for changing furnaces and tools, the technology further refined by Fill yields a highly efficient production system.

Another highlight was the presentation of the digitalization. One remarkable step towards Industry 4.0 is the complete networking of machines with the machine workflow software platform and visualization of the product and production data with the newly developed app for iOS and Android operating systems.
