Fielding Manufacturing Increases Precision Die Casting Capacity -- New Techmire machines allow miniature parts specialist to make larger parts as well Cranston, RI -- Fielding Manufacturing has increased its zinc die casting capacity with the addition of three new Techmire multiple-slide die casting machines. The three machines, two 44NTs and a 66NT, will allow Fielding—which has made its name manufacturing miniature parts—to manufacture parts up to 9.33 oz. and 11 oz. respectively. "In the scheme of things, these are still small parts," said Steve Fielding, President of Fielding Manufacturing, "but up till now, we focused on a maximum part size that would fit in a 1½" cube. However, as many of our miniature parts customers have asked us if we could make slightly larger parts for them as well, we decided to step up in size capability in order to service their broader needs." Recognized as the global leader in machines for precision zinc components, Montreal-based Techmire NT Series machines incorporate the latest technology in electronics, software and hydraulics to the die-casting process in an integrated and energy efficient manner. The new machines feature fully integrated hydraulic systems for fast cycle times and consistent clamping pressures, automatic metal loading systems, precision injection systems, and the latest in computer-based controls. "Zinc die casting is a mature process," says Fielding, "And even though zinc has been around for a while, designers are still discovering its benefits in the manufacture of precision components. Along with our four-slide die-casting capabilities, we offer in-house part design assistance, and rapid prototyping to test form, fit, and function, optimize manufacturability, and drive down costs. In addition, we offer full tool design and build, perform all types of secondary operations, and provide all finishes." Founded in 1962, Fielding Manufacturing specializes in the manufacture of high precision miniature die-cast and injection molded components. The company provides a full-service solution that begins with design for manufacturability, rapid prototyping, tool design and reliable parts production, and extends through a complete range of secondary operations and finishing. Fielding Manufacturing has a strong reputation for quality, service and dependability, and offers a wealth of experience in a wide range of industrial markets, including telecommunications, fiber optics, hardware, electronics/electrical, automotive, fasteners/threaded components, appliance, and consumer.
