It will create a pressure of 8000 tons
Tesla has placed an order for the world’s first 8,000 ton aluminum die casting machine. Before that, the largest in the world was a similar machine, which created a pressure of 6,000 tons, and it was also used by Tesla.
Tesla Will Build Cybertruck Pickups Using Most Powerful Aluminum Die Casting Machine
The new setup is dedicated to the production of the Cybertruck pickup truck. More precisely, the rear of the car body. The Italian company Idra was involved in the creation of the casting machine. A series of such machines is called the Giga Press.
The use of such machines makes it possible to simplify the production process. For example, in the case of the Model Y, the Giga Press was able to create one huge part where previously 70 individual smaller parts were required.
