Wilkast Inc. has just completed the complete retrofit of our #12 aluminum die cast machine with full automation. We have added a molten metal ladler, reciprocating sprayer, and 6-axis robot complete with laser-sensor part detection. This automation helps us further tighten our process window and gives us even more consistency in the quality of our parts and the effectiveness of our machine. We cannot wait to get started on our other three LK die cast machines! Stay tuned and check out our video below:

Wilkast is proud to announce our fifth consecutive Perfect Safety Award from NADCA. Out of approximately 350 die casters across the world, less than 10% of the shops are fortunate to report this safety record, and even fewer can do it in consecutive years. This consistency is a testament to our people and their commitment to safety and to each other.

Wilkast has completed the heavy lifting portion of our new equipment install! All three die casting machines are installed and being hooked up. We are automating all three cells with robots, ladlers, recips, and more. These machines are state-of-the-art and increase the already solid lead we have in the decorative and functional aluminum die casting market. People, Processes, Products... that's the Wilkast Advantage!
