Benefits

• Continuous and systematic monitoring of the die cast process to increase productivity of the HPDC cell up to a 20% by avoiding deviations in the process.
• Thermal stability of the process thanks to a self balancing approach, able to distinguish between a long term and short-term tempering units.
• Longer die life: around 30% increase in life by reducing thermal shocks, through optimized internal and external cooling.
• Improved quality casting defects with through reduced optimized lubrication and heating or cooling of the die with consequent reduction of scrap rate after machining up to 25%.
• Scrap reduction in HPDC processes above all for structural castings from current 25% to 5% which mean less re-melting rate, overuse of energy and high competitiveness on the structural market.
• Significant scrap reduction. In a field with continually growing die and material changes, improved quality and reduced start-up scrap results in lower energy use for remelt and higher productivity for more competitiveness in the demanding structural casting market.
