Casting capacity
Die Casting Capabilities
Review alloys, machine capacity, part dimensions and inspection requirements. Feasibility and acceptance criteria are confirmed for the specified drawing revision and manufacturing route.
The references distinguish routine casting work from features that need a separate project review or tooling trial. Alloy, projected area, geometry, tooling and delivery condition determine which requirements can be achieved together.
View size & weight details- Alloy families for review
- Aluminum, zinc, magnesium and copper alloys; grade and process confirmed for each project
- Machine clamping force
- 180–2,500 metric ton-force (tf); 11 machines
- Part size reference
- Part envelope is reviewed from the drawing, projected area and tooling fit; parts below 50 mm can also be assessed.
- Routine net casting weights
- Aluminum: 0.05–10 kg; zinc: 0.005–2 kg, measured after gate and runner removal. Larger aluminum castings and zinc micro-parts receive a separate project review.
Wall thickness, tolerances & inspection details
- Main walls & local thin-wall review
- Typical main walls: aluminum 1.5–4.5 mm; zinc 0.8–2.0 mm. A local 0.7 mm target is considered mainly for Zamak zinc with short flow paths and requires tooling trials.
- Dimensional tolerances by stage
- Aluminum as-cast controlled features: typically ±0.05–±0.15 mm; general structural dimensions: ±0.10–±0.30 mm. CNC critical dimensions: ±0.02–±0.05 mm. Achieving ±0.02 mm requires fixture and process review; parting-line dimensions are assessed separately.
- Flatness
- Specify the tolerance, controlled surface and measurement setup on the drawing or inspection plan
- Surface roughness by stage
- Typical as-cast surfaces: Ra 3.2–6.3 μm. Ra 0.8 μm is assessed for specified mating or sealing surfaces on aluminum or zinc after CNC finish milling, finish turning or polishing, with process and measurement conditions agreed.
- Inspection methods for review
- Coordinate measuring machine (CMM), surface roughness tester, hardness tester and go/no-go gauges; method and availability confirmed for the project
- Quality system requirements
- Identify any ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 requirement in the RFQ. Applicable certification, site and scope must be confirmed

Five capabilities, one production route
ZAODA coordinates tooling, die casting, CNC machining, surface finishing and product assembly to meet the drawing, inspection and delivery requirements of each project.
Define the project requirements
Share the current drawing and model, material specification, order quantities, critical features, finish, tests and required records. The engineering review establishes the proposed manufacturing process and quotation basis.
Choose the route by the component function
A heat sink, a bearing housing and a visible hardware connector need different manufacturing decisions. Start with the function, then connect tooling, casting, machining, finishing and acceptance in one route.
| Decision area | Information to define |
|---|---|
| Thermal part | Contact pads, heat path and final assembly conditions |
| Rotating assembly | Bearing axes, locating faces and machining datums |
| Sealed enclosure | Pressure boundary, gasket lands and final test |
| Visible hardware | Mating fit, appearance zones and coating build |
Send the mating interface and operating requirements with the drawing so the proposal can address the finished component.
