Method and apparatus for creating at least one metal component by injecting flowable metal casting material into at least one cavity of a multi-part casting mold. Arranged successively downstream, apparatus includes a conveyor device for the flowable metal material, a distributor unit and the mold. The distributor unit includes an inlet channel connected to the conveyor device, and multiple outlet channels each having an outlet nozzle, such that casting material fed under pressure via the distributor inlet channel is injectable via the outlet nozzles into the at least one cavity of the mold to simultaneously fill the at least one cavity with casting material via the outlet nozzles. To produce the component with high process reliability in high quality, at least one of the outlet channels is connected to the mold in a sliding manner to enable relative movement between the outlet nozzle of the outlet channel and the mold.
An apparatus for creating at least one metal component by injecting flowable metal casting material into at least one cavity of a multi-part casting mold, comprising, arranged successively downstream, a conveyor device for the flowable metal material, a distributor unit and the multi-part casting mold, wherein the distributor unit comprises an inlet channel, which is connected to the conveyor device, and multiple outlet channels each having an outlet nozzle, such that casting material fed under pressure via the distributor inlet channel can be injected via the outlet nozzles into the at least one cavity of the casting mold in order to simultaneously fill the at least one cavity with casting material via the outlet nozzles, wherein at least one of the outlet channels is connected to the casting mold in a sliding manner in order to enable a relative movement between the outlet nozzle of the outlet channel and the casting mold, and wherein the outlet channel is connected to the casting mold in a sliding manner so that the outlet nozzle of the outlet channel can be displaced transversely to an injection direction of the outlet nozzle relative to the casting mold.
