Benefits of Die Casting

The design of the elbow housing was developed in cooperation with the engineers at Unity Manufacturing. Compared to an earlier design, the new design has the following performance and production benefits-- 

  • Tighter dimensional tolerances for better weather tightness and a more reliable electrical circuit with less shorting and open circuits. 

  • A superior surface finish, requiring less polishing which results in reduce production time and expense. 

  • A lower scrap rate,  as compared to the prior design, enhances productivity with significant cost savings.

Die casting with zinc is the production method of choice for this component, meeting the requirements for complex shape, close tolerances, superior appearance, and low cost production.
