CID 2026 Shanghai Die Casting Expo Opens | LH-TC Showcases Proven Deburring Solutions for Automotive Rear Floor Castings

From July 15 to 17, the China International Diecasting Exhibition (CID 2026) was successfully held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. LH-TC made a high-profile appearance at Booth N3A65, showcasing its core product lines—robotic tool changers, force-controlled floating grinding units, and grippers—specifically designed to solve deburring challenges for large integrated die-castings such as automotive rear floor panels.

1. Force-Controlled Floating Grinding Solves Post-Processing Challenges for Integrated Die-Castings

Integrated die-casting has become a core technology for lightweighting in new energy vehicles (NEVs). However, post-processing deburring for 6,000T+ ultra-large die-casting cells remains a major mass-production bottleneck. Large integrated structural components—such as automotive rear floor panels—feature complex curved profiles, irregular parting lines/flash, and high dimensional molding tolerances.

To address these pain points, LH-TC highlighted its Force-Controlled Floating Grinding System at the expo. Equipped with a high-precision closed-loop force control system and a repeat positioning accuracy of $1\ \mu\text{m}$, the system pairs with a wide-range high-speed electric spindle to deliver both high precision and efficiency. The resulting finish eliminates burrs and sharp edges without recast layer/flash sticking. The system also supports automatic tool changing to significantly reduce downtime. Leveraging extensive field deployment experience, LH-TC has built a dedicated process database for integrated die-castings, enabling rapid adaptation to various automotive rear floor panel specifications.

2. Flexible Switching via Tool Changer Systems Boosts Line Quality and Efficiency

As mold-change frequencies rise, switching loading/unloading fixtures on automated production lines has become increasingly frequent. LH-TC showcased its robotic tool changers, covering a payload range of 5–3,000 kg. Capable of automated tool swaps in seconds with a repeat accuracy of $\pm 0.02\text{ mm}$ and an IP67 protection rating, the system effectively addresses low manual changeover efficiency and poor line flexibility—making it ideal for high-frequency changeover scenarios like die-casting.

LH-TC is a National High-Tech Enterprise and Provincial Specialized, Refined, Differential, and Innovative (SRDI) Enterprise, operating a 30,000 $\text{m}^2$ smart manufacturing base. Every product is assigned an independent S/N code for full-lifecycle traceability. LH-TC holds over 70 patents, 5 software copyrights, and international certifications including TÜV, CE, SIL, and ISO 9001.
