1300 Ton Aluminum Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine
The DC1300T is a 13,000 kN cold chamber platform for large aluminum and magnesium projects. Its value depends on more than clamp force: the casting, complete shot, die movement, thermal process, automation, building services, acceptance evidence, and supply boundary must resolve into one buildable production-cell plan.
Published DC1300T data reviewed August 10, 2026 by Cathy, Director. Final approved drawings and the signed technical agreement govern the supplied configuration.
BLUEPRINT REFERENCE / DC1300T
Blueprint 01 / Model-fit logic
Six calculations must converge before the machine is approved
Engineering, tooling, automation, plant, quality, and purchasing should work from the same controlled inputs. A red condition in any lane keeps the model open; a green result in all six lanes supports a defensible technical shortlist.
Complete shot
Include all castings, runners, biscuit, overflows, and process allowance. Verify weight and required intensification pressure against one exact shot-end package.
Evidence: mass balanceDie envelope
Check width, height, 450-1,200 mm thickness, weight, mounting, opening, ejection, slides, core pulls, cooling, vacuum, lifting, and changeover.
Evidence: interface drawingProcess window
Define fill profile, velocity, pressure, thermal control, vacuum, spray, metal temperature, die temperature, quality criteria, inspection, and traceability.
Evidence: process basisCell performance
Freeze cycle definition, annual volume, shifts, OEE assumptions, furnace, dosing, extraction, trim, conveyors, inspection, scrap routing, and recovery logic.
Evidence: time studyFactory and delivery
Approve transport, lifting, foundation, utilities, safety, service zones, destination rules, FAT, SAT, documentation, training, spares, and warranty ownership.
Evidence: project execution planBlueprint 02 / Pressure-capacity envelope
Request the complete shot-end matrix before choosing a plunger
The manufacturer publishes boundary ranges for the DC1300T rather than a complete set of paired values. Do not interpolate those values into a purchase decision. Ask the quotation to state aluminum and magnesium capacity, intensification pressure, casting area, sleeve dimensions, and injection position for every offered plunger diameter.
Selection rule
The approved package must clear complete shot while preserving the required intensification pressure and agreed process margin.
Pressure-ledCapacity-led
Confirm the exact offered diameters and sleeve interfaces.
Use complete shot, not net casting weight.
Confirm alloy basis and real process allowance.
Published pressure decreases toward the capacity-led end.
Geometry and cavity pressure still govern actual fit.

Blueprint 08 / Procurement FAQ
Answers that connect model selection to project execution
Use these answers for early screening, then place project values, calculations, drawings, responsibilities, tolerances, test conditions, and acceptance evidence into the signed technical agreement.
Q01What projects should shortlist the DC1300T aluminum die casting machine?
The DC1300T is an initial candidate for large aluminum or magnesium projects whose verified clamp demand, complete shot, die envelope, pressure requirement, automation, and plant interfaces fit the published 13,000 kN platform. The 1,300 ton name does not approve a casting or justify unused capacity without calculations.
Q02What are the principal DC1300T technical specifications?
Published data lists 13,000 kN clamping force, 1,000 mm clamping stroke, 550 kN ejecting force, 200 mm ejection stroke, 450-1,200 mm die thickness, 1,730 x 1,730 mm platens, 1,100 x 1,100 mm tie-bar spacing, 1,100 kN injection force, 910 mm injection stroke, 75 kW motor power, a 2,000 L oil tank, and approximate 95 ton machine weight.
Q03How should a DC1300T shot-end package be selected?
Published ranges cover 100-140 mm plunger diameters, 13-36 kg aluminum shot, 9.3-18.7 kg magnesium shot, 140-71 MPa intensification pressure, and 885-1,735 cm2 casting area. Request the exact paired values for every offered diameter, then select against complete shot and required pressure together.
Q04How do I check whether 13,000 kN clamping force is sufficient?
Total the pressure-exposed projected area of all cavities, runners, overflows, and slides, multiply by the agreed cavity-pressure basis, and apply the documented operating margin. Check the result against 13,000 kN separately from shot capacity, die fit, and the published 3,125 cm2 maximum casting area.
Q05What factory planning is required for a 95 ton DC1300T?
Approve the shipping split, transport and unloading route, lifting equipment, center of gravity, foundation, anchoring, floor load, 11 x 4.0 x 4.5 m bare-machine envelope, die-change route, crane coverage, maintenance zones, electrical supply, cooling water, air, exhaust, oil cooling, guarding, and every peripheral footprint from final drawings.
Q06What should a comparable DC1300T quotation and acceptance plan contain?
Require the selected shot end, controls, hydraulics, core pulls, cooling and vacuum interfaces, automation ownership, safety scope, utilities, drawings, manuals, software backups, spares, packing, installation, training, warranty, and exclusions. FAT and SAT should define test conditions, measurements, records, pass criteria, corrective actions, and retest responsibility.
