A die casting machine (1) is provided, including a die casting mold (3) having at least one stationary first casting mold part (5), at least one second casting mold part (7) that is movable along guide pillars (6), and at least two lateral casting mold parts (8, 9), which are movable relative to one another transversely to the travel path of the at least one second casting mold part (7). Locking pins (14) protrude from at least two lateral casting mold parts (8, 9), which in a locked position engage behind at least the movable second casting mold part (7) such that the travel path of the at least one second casting mold part (7) is limited in the direction away from the at least one first casting mold part (5). The invention further relates to a die casting method for producing metal castings using the casting mold as described above.
A die casting machine (1, 10), comprising a die casting mold (3) having at least one stationary first casting mold part (5), at least one second casting mold part (7) that is movable along guide pillars (6), and at least two lateral casting mold parts (8, 9), which are movable relative to one another transversely to a travel path of the at least one second casting mold part (7), locking pins (14) project from the at least two lateral casting mold parts (8, 9), and, in a closed position, engage behind at least the at least one movable second casting mold part (7) in such a way that the travel path of the at least one second casting mold part (7) in a direction away from the at least one first casting mold part (5) is limited.
A die casting method for a die casting mold (3) having a stationary first casting mold part (5), a second casting mold part (7) that is movable along guide pillars (6), and at least two lateral casting mold parts (8, 9), which are movable relative to one another transversely to a travel path of the second casting mold part (7), comprising, in a first method step, moving the casting mold parts (5, 7) and the lateral casting mold parts (8, 9) into a closed position of the die casting mold (3) and joining the mold parts together, locking the casting mold parts (5, 7) and the lateral casting mold parts (8, 9) mechanically to one another in the closed position, feeding a quantity of molten metal intended for at least one mold cavity into the die casting mold (3), and subjecting the molten metal in the at least one mold cavity (4) to pressure during a cooling process.
