DC1000T / Procurement specification 10-01
1000 Ton Aluminum Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine
The DC1000T is a 10,000 kN cold chamber platform for large aluminum and magnesium projects. Treat it as a complete capital-equipment package: approve the machine only after clamp demand, complete shot, die interfaces, process window, automation, factory services, delivery, and acceptance evidence agree in one controlled technical specification.
Published DC1000T data reviewed August 10, 2026 by Cathy, Director. Approved project drawings and the signed technical agreement govern the final supply.

Capital approval memo
The direct answer: tonnage starts the review; it does not finish it
The DC1000T belongs on the shortlist only when one traceable engineering file clears six independent boundaries. Purchasing can then compare quotations against the same approved assumptions instead of comparing incomplete base-machine prices.

Schedule B / Shot-end selection
Four packages create four different pressure-capacity windows
The largest plunger is not automatically the safest option. A larger diameter increases the published metal allowance while reducing intensification pressure. Screen the actual complete shot and process-pressure requirement together, then lock the sleeve, plunger, injection position, flange, cooling, lubrication, and spare set into the technical agreement.

Schedule D / System evidence
Turn close-up images into maintainability questions
These references have been cleaned of Chinese and brand text. They indicate component families and service areas; they do not guarantee that every visible make, quantity, arrangement, or color is included in a quotation.
D1 / REVIEW ZONE
Hydraulic distribution and service interface
Use this reference to agree component makes, circuit ownership, filtration, oil specification, cooling duty, hose and seal spares, diagnostic points, safe isolation, access zones, and the maintenance documentation supplied with the machine.
D2 / REVIEW ZONE
Pressure regulation and response verification
The technical agreement should identify calibration points, pressure and speed verification, accumulator discharge procedure, repeatability evidence, alarm tests, replacement parts, and the exact acceptance method used during FAT and SAT.
Schedule E / Site and logistics
A 70 ton machine is a building project as well as an equipment purchase
The published 10 x 3.3 x 3.7 m envelope covers the base machine, not the complete cell. Peripherals, platforms, guarding, piping, maintenance access, die handling, and hot-metal safety zones expand the installed footprint.

Transport and lifting
Confirm shipping split, packed dimensions and weights, center of gravity, lifting points, port and inland restrictions, unloading equipment, crane capacity, hook height, rigging plan, doorway and aisle clearances, floor transitions, and positioning responsibility.
Foundation and access
Approve floor loading, pits, anchoring, leveling, grout, drainage, oil containment, vibration considerations, die-change route, crane coverage, platen and tie-bar service, accumulator access, panel clearance, and safe escape paths from final drawings.
Utilities and thermal duty

Schedule F / Responsibility matrix
Normalize every quotation before comparing price
Ask each supplier to answer the same line items with Included, Optional, By Buyer, or Excluded, plus a technical reference and price effect. This exposes interface gaps early and keeps the commercial comparison tied to an executable project.

Define the casting, die, alloy, sample quantity, cycle basis, quality checks, measuring equipment, machine settings, environmental conditions, repeatability evidence, capability requirement, pass criteria, open-action process, retest rules, and who pays when prerequisites are missing.
Schedule G / Buyer FAQ
Questions to close before technical and commercial approval
Use these direct answers for early screening. Put the project-specific calculations, drawings, tolerances, owners, test conditions, and evidence into the signed agreement.
G1What is the DC1000T aluminum die casting machine best suited for?
The DC1000T is an initial candidate for large aluminum or magnesium projects whose verified clamp demand, complete shot, die envelope, required process pressure, automation, and factory interfaces fit the published 10,000 kN platform and one confirmed 90, 100, 110, or 120 mm shot package. Nominal tonnage alone does not approve a part.
G2What are the main DC1000T technical specifications?
Published data lists 10,000 kN clamping force, 800 mm clamping stroke, 500 kN ejecting force, 200 mm ejection stroke, 450-1,150 mm die thickness, 1,620 x 1,620 mm platens, 1,030 x 1,030 mm tie-bar spacing, 805 kN injection force, 850 mm injection stroke, a 45 kW motor, 1,500 L oil tank, and approximate 70 ton machine weight.
G3How should the 90, 100, 110, or 120 mm shot package be selected?
Check complete shot and required intensification pressure together. Published aluminum allowances rise from 10 to 18 kg as plunger diameter increases, while listed intensification pressure falls from 126 to 71 MPa. Select the smallest package that clears complete shot while preserving the documented pressure window and process margin.
G4How do I check whether 10,000 kN clamping force is enough?
Total the projected area of every cavity, runner, overflow, biscuit influence, and pressure-exposed slide, multiply by the agreed cavity-pressure assumption, then apply the documented operating margin. Check the result against 10,000 kN separately from the shot package, die fit, and the published 2,500 cm2 maximum casting area.
G5What site work should be completed before a DC1000T order?
Approve the transport route, unloading and lifting plan, foundation and anchoring, 70 ton machine load, 10 x 3.3 x 3.7 m bare-machine envelope, die-change route, service clearances, electrical supply, cooling water, compressed air, exhaust, oil-temperature control, safety standard, and all peripheral footprints from final drawings.
G6What should the DC1000T quotation, FAT, and SAT documents include?
Require a line-by-line supply boundary, selected shot end, controls and hydraulic makes, core pulls, cooling and vacuum interfaces, furnace and automation ownership, utilities, guarding, drawings, manuals, backups, spares, packing, commissioning, training, warranty, and exclusions. FAT and SAT should define test conditions, measurements, records, pass criteria, open-action ownership, and retest rules.
