Die-Shot Monitor: Plunger Speed
The speed of the plunger at each stage of a shot provides vital information about the Die Casting process.
Parameter | Effect on the process | |
---|---|---|
Slow Shot Speed | Expelling air from the vents | |
Fast Shot Speed | Machine settings and condition of the machine | |
Cavity Fill Speed | Condition of the gates | |
Creep Speed | Condition of the plunger and rings | |
Cavity Fill Time | Casting surface quality | |
Gate Speed | Casting internal quality |
Die-Shot will calculate and display each of these parameters and compare them to a target value.
You can set alarms on any of the above parameters to warn you when your process is out of control.
