Automatic force wedge
The automatic force wedge shown is part of the additional locking devices of the mechanical-automatic door lock “Roto Safe A | Tandeo”. With this door lock, front doors can be locked automatically without using a key. In conjunction with an additional drive unit, the...
Bathroom faucet – Delta Faucet
The Delta Faucet’s construction is known as shell technology. It features a die-cast zinc cover, or escutcheon, over a brazed copper and brass assembly. The thin zinc cover is much more uniform than brass; it provides near net shape die casting with tolerances of...
Central Console
Utilizing zinc alloys to create this part allowed for outstanding control of each step and parameter involved in the full process, from design to final part to achieve, to achieve the perfect design. With die casting, the same surface quality and appearance could be...
Channel and T-shape
This two-piece holder was developed for a precision scientific instrument. Both castings have detailed features requiring tolerances of +/-0.00025 in. Extrusion could not be used because it could not hold the tolerances, while CNC and wire EDM were not cost effective....
Closure ring overhead shower RAINFINITY
In the field of sanitary technology, extremely high demands are placed on the surface appearance, resistance and dimensional stability of the assemblies. A high standard of haptics conveys a high-quality feeling. With the casing of the Rainfinity overhead shower, the...
Cover for a high-quality sanitary shower system
Today, bathrooms are no longer just places to shower, wash your hands or freshen up. Today, bathrooms are high-quality experience spaces and oases of well-being. Value is placed on good products with perfect surfaces. Function and control of cold and warm water...
Cylinder housing shells and head cap for ABUS-ECO locking cylinders
Groß Druckguss GmbH received this award for the implementation of the housing shells and a head cap for ABUS-ECO locking cylinders. Products in the lock area are characterized by extremely low tolerance ranges and high accuracy of fit and precision. When manufacturing...
Door Brake
Automatic closing mechanisms for swing doors have to be adjustable and brake the movement of the door. The mechanism must be strong, resistant, reliable, and compact enough to be housed in a casing. Pressure injected zinc alloy casings offer undeniable advantages,...
Escutcheon for overhead shower for Grohe Rainshower series
The award-winning component is a large-scale application of die-cast zinc as a shower head. The large surface area of the cover rosette component of an overhead shower for the GROHE Rainshower series in connection with a galvanic surface treatment places special...
Ezi – Fill Fuel Dispenser
Its strength, tolerance for accurate detailing, non-corrosive properties compared to aluminium, and production speeds (faster than plastic) made die cast zinc the obvious solution when it came to the manufacture of Unicast’s “Ezi – Fill” fuel dispenser. Manufactured...
Fully casted fitting with thread for compressed air manifold
For this part, zinc was an excellent substitute for brass. Key benefits include: No secondary operation: screw thread directly as cast. Redesigned concept: switching from machined part to casting technology. Split core technology.
Guide and Sliding Door Lever for Monospace
This lever allows the side door to slide in a combined movement with a guiding rail. The guiding is obtained by a bearing attached to the lever end.
High Tension Cage
This part is a device component warranting the operators security during intervention on high-tension lines. The reasons behind choosing zinc alloy include the product’s complex tool design, the combination of thin wall casting and rigidity, and the dimensional...
Housing & Frame
The elements of this equipment (TYCAS) were created to detect the positions of approaching aircraft according to new security norms of the IATA. The process proved to be more economical compared to traditional machining despite limited series and to pressure die cast...
Motorcycle indicator housing BMW R18
For many, the BMW R18 brings back memories of the old days – cruising alone on winding roads, a comfortable ride and good road holding. The vehicle has to have a certain solid and sonorous appearance. With the R18 model, BMW is addressing the buyers of a Harley...
