Die cast molds are usually made from several metal parts where typical configurations consist of two varying sized halves. When molding produce end product, raw materials (metal, plastic, etc.) is inserted, heated and placed under extreme pressures. When separated, residual materials left behind would create imperfections on the next end product molded. Using high precision robotic reciprocators for lubing, oiling, watering, or air blowing, the molds remain clean and ready for immediate reuse.
