Abstract:
The ram device forces back components of a die cast machine, having platens that come together to form a product or cast, in order to free products from between the platens. The device has a base and a stem, wherein the stem is longitudinally connected to the base. The base can be releasably attached to a face of a die half wherein the stem is positioned opposite the component to be forced back. The die halves are closed together until a top of the stem engages the component to be moved and the force of the closing die halves is transferred through the ram device to force the component back.
