Successfully Sold: FRECH K 640-62 Cold-Chamber Die Casting Machine from 2018
FISS sold a highly equipped FRECH K 640-62 cold-chamber die casting machine to an international customer. The complete die casting cell, manufactured in 2018, had only 4,500 operating hours and included an extensive automation package.
Which used die casting machine was successfully sold?
The machine sold was a FRECH K 640-62 cold-chamber die casting machine manufactured in 2018. It had only 4,500 operating hours and was in excellent technical and visual condition.
The project included a complete automated die casting cell with an MPS metal loader and two ABB IRB 4600 Foundry robots for part removal and die spraying.
Modern die casting technology with exceptionally low operating hours
Used die casting machines with a recent year of manufacture and low operating hours are particularly sought after on the international market.
The combination of modern FRECH technology, complete automation and only 4,500 operating hours made this system an economically attractive alternative to a new machine.
Low usage and excellent overall condition
The low operating-hour count indicated limited mechanical wear and offered the buyer a modern production solution with long-term operating potential.
Which components were included in the FRECH K 640-62 die casting cell?
The system was offered not as an individual machine, but as a complete automated die casting cell.
FRECH K 640-62
A modern cold-chamber die casting machine for stable and precise industrial aluminium production.
- Manufactured in 2018
- Only 4,500 operating hours
- Excellent technical condition
- High-quality FRECH machine technology
MPS metal loader
The automatic metal loader supported reproducible feeding of molten metal to the die casting machine.
- Automatic metal feeding
- Integrated into the production process
- Reproducible dosing
- Reduced manual intervention
Two ABB IRB 4600 Foundry robots
Two foundry robots handled part removal and automatic spraying of the casting dies.
- Robot for pick-and-place tasks
- Automatic part removal
- Robot for die spraying
- Designed for foundry environments
From machine assessment to successful dry run
The sale was only one part of the project. FISS supported the complete process through to functional testing of the installed die casting cell at the customer's site.
Technical assessment
The machine, automation equipment, operating hours and condition were recorded and technically assessed.
Documentation
The complete equipment scope was documented and prepared for international marketing.
Dismantling
The machine, robots and peripheral equipment were professionally disconnected and prepared for transport.
Export and transport
All components were packaged securely for transport and delivered to the international customer.
Dry run
Following installation, the interaction between the machine, robots and peripheral equipment was successfully tested.
What was checked during the dry run of the die casting cell?
A dry run is used to check the mechanical and automated sequences of a system without carrying out the actual casting process.
In this project, the successful dry run confirmed the precise interaction between the FRECH die casting machine, the two ABB robots, the metal loader and the additional peripheral equipment.
Movements and safety functions
The main machine movements and safety-related sequences were checked.
Coordinated robot movements
The removal and spraying robots were tested with regard to their programmed sequences and interfaces.
Interaction of the complete cell
Signals and sequences between the main machine, metal loader, robots and peripheral equipment were successfully confirmed.
Why are used FRECH die casting machines internationally sought after?
FRECH die casting machines are known for robust construction, process stability and long-term industrial operation.
- High machine rigidity
- Precise and repeatable casting processes
- Stable cycle times
- High industrial reliability
- Long service life
- Modern hydraulic and control technology
- User-friendly machine concept
- Good maintenance accessibility
- International spare parts availability
- Strong long-term resale value
Why can a recent used machine be the better investment?
A modern used machine with low operating hours can offer a significant cost advantage compared with a new system.
Buyers also benefit from shorter availability times, proven technology and automation components that have already been coordinated as a complete cell.
Attractive alternative to a new machine
High-quality used machines provide access to modern production technology at significantly lower investment costs.
Shorter project lead time
Available used systems can often be implemented much more quickly than newly ordered production cells.
Components already coordinated
Machine, robots and peripheral equipment had already been coordinated as a functioning complete cell.
Continuing to use existing technology
Reusing industrial equipment extends its service life and reduces the demand for resources compared with manufacturing a completely new system.
