Tesla issued patents related to integrated casting machine

Tesla is committed to producing its cars with the highest efficiency and quality, which is why Tesla continues to modify its manufacturing processes.

Tesla plans to simplify the design of its future transportation platform and achieve a higher degree of automation in the manufacturing process. In the summer of 2019, the company issued a patent "Multi-directional integrated casting machine for frame and related methods", which discloses a new casting machine that Tesla plans to use for the Y-type.

According to reports from relevant sources, the purpose of the design is: “to reduce construction time, operating costs, manufacturing costs, factory floor space, factory operating costs, tool costs and/or equipment quantities.” The automaker pointed out that it will reduce The number of casting machines required to build the frame can even build a "complete or almost complete" frame by itself.

In fact, the characteristics of the car body in the welding process is that it has an obvious sequence. Therefore, the production of the frame in a whole piece will not only improve the automation rate of the automobile OEM, but also effectively reduce the construction time, operating cost, manufacturing cost, Factory area, processing cost and equipment quantity.

The technology will be realized by a multi-directional die-casting machine, including a mold with a vehicle cover, and several convex molds that can translate relative to the cover mold. This type of protruding mold will be moved to the casting area in the center of the casting machine, responsible for the casting of different parts, and complete most of the casting work of the frame on one machine. To

This production method has many advantages, ranging from saving resources and production time to improving vehicle performance. The one-piece design will greatly reduce weight, resulting in better battery economy, better handling and driving comfort, and more safety, because the entire body can better absorb energy in an accident.

As for the casting itself, the casting process is suitable for the manufacture of complex shapes and thin-walled cavity parts, and the advantage lies in the integrated design and manufacture of parts. The "one-piece casting" technology will further strengthen this advantage, integrating multiple parts on the frame into a whole, which can be formed through a single casting, which greatly simplifies the supply chain.
