Monitoring and controlling a die casting press
Control Engineering Europe (online), March 08, 2011
Die cast presses use hydraulic systems to force molten metal into a die to form intricately shaped parts that require very little final machining for engine components, transmissions and other parts. Control over the injection process is often managed by a PLC.
A system has been designed that incorporates an ADwin-Gold real-time data acquisition and control system to monitor and control the various parameters during this process.
