Magnesium, which is 2/3 the weight of aluminum and 1/4 the weight of iron, has a high strength with a specific strength of 154, higher than other metals. We can prototype and produce small quantities using dedicated equipment, and molds are also possible.
Our group has quickly recognized the potential of magnesium and has been accumulating know-how since 1998 by introducing magnesium molding machines. Currently, we own two 220t magnesium thixomolding machines and one 280t machine, which are expensive specialized equipment. In thixomolding, one of the magnesium injection molding processes, we handle a wide range of items including camera parts, PC parts, and automotive parts. Due to the high injection pressure and fast injection speed, we can achieve improved surface quality and precise molding of thin-walled products. 【Features】 - Stronger and lighter than plastic, yet not as expensive as titanium - Developed and introduced a thixomolding method that excels in mass production - Capable of accommodating mass production - Has attracted attention from various industries *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Main Equipment】 ■ Magnesium Thixomolding Machine - 220t: 2 units - 280t: 1 unit 【Features of Thixomolding】 - High injection pressure and fast injection speed allow for improved surface quality and precise molding of thin-walled products. - Since magnesium alloy chips are used as raw material, there is no need for a melting furnace, and changing alloy types is relatively easy. - The melting temperature is lower compared to die casting, resulting in improved dimensional accuracy. - Because the shrinkage rate is the same as that of resin (PC/ABS), resin molding is also possible with magnesium molding molds. For example, we can provide samples molded with transparent resin materials, allowing you to see the internal state of the product shape. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
