Idra s.r.l.

The traditional OL CS series cold chamber machines, ranging from 420 tons to 5500 tons of clamping force, are designed for high performance and constant product quality. 

Continuing the IDRA reputation for innovation and development the OL CS takes 70 years of industry experience and condenses it in to one package designed for foundry needs and the latest production requirements.

The compact mechanical structure and robust dimensions have been designed using the same criteria and characteristics that have always guaranteed long life and reliability for the foundry. Emphasis on the overall length of the machine ensures that the required floor space is equal to or better than the two platen product range.

Integrated high flow hydraulic manifold blocks and increased pump capacity ensure that the fast cycle times required can be achieved, whilst energy cost can be kept to a minimum by the use of energy efficient motors with speed control. The drastic reduction of external pipe work reduces the need for maintenance and minimises the risk of fluid loss.

The new award winning Inject Computer 3.0 offers the best in class machine management software.  Incorporating a multi touch screen and 3D diagnostics with single point setting for integrated peripheral automation.  Available with machine tablet allowing portable access for diagnostics and management of the production cell.

Due to the innovative mechanical design all groups of the machine take into consideration the need for easy access for maintenance procedures.

Closed  loop multi point control of the injection velocity and pressure, programming and control of process parameters give the die caster all of the necessary tools required for the most demanding parts.

New OL CS series gives excellent performance of the injection, combining high dynamic force with strong intensification for final pressure and complete flexibility of setting to give precise, stable production parameters.

High integrity components for the automotive sector, including structural and power train, can be produced with the highest guaranteed quality and productivity.

The new range of OLR represents the second generation of two platen machines and is the result of the development of the first generation lounced in year 2000.
The new solutions are based on our long consolidated experience of more than 10 years of production, and are aimed to improve technical characteristics and get easier maintenance. All hydraulic blocks are modular and easy to be accessed.
Key focus has been given to energy saving and optimal results are achieved thanks to some design solutions.
10 models are included in new OLR range, from 1000 to 4600 tons of clamping force and all machines offer large tie bar distance associated to a small foot print.

The HC series hot chamber machine for zinc alloys with a double toggle clamping unit offers high performance and extremely competitive running costs.
The sturdy double toggle system with automatic lubrication ensures a long life and the hydraulic system with pump unit driven by servomotor and proportional valve for injection control ensures high performance and constant process parameters. The technologically advanced solution of the servomotor, as well as high dynamic features, is outstanding for its excellent energy efficiency  allowing significant savings compared to the standard 3-phase motor.
As standard supply, the machines are equipped with color HMI display of the injection curves and process monitoring.  In the same “touch screen” display, the operator can read the information for setting and diagnostics.

All hydraulic and electronic components are supplied by the leading manufacturers, making the HC line a great and long lasting investment.
