Die casting machine does not store energy

Do die casting machines consume a lot of energy?

Die casting machines, which are the core equipment of the machinery manufacturing industry, consume great amounts of energy.

Why is energy consumption prediction important for die casting machines?

The energy consumption prediction of die casting machines can support energy consumption quota, process parameter energy-saving optimization, energy-saving design, and energy efficiency evaluation; thus, it is of great significance for Industry 4.0 and green manufacturing.

What happens if a die casting machine shuts down?

Normal practice is to dispose of these castings to the remelt conveyor or tub. Any time the normal operating cycle of a die casting machine is interrupted, the many conditions that had stabilized during the normal operation begin to change. The longer the shut-down period, the more things become affected.

How a die casting machine works?

Die casting machine produces castings and scrap. The scrap might be sold or recycled or a combination of these two. The castings are then directed to the trimming process. After the trimming process, the castings which pass the quality control test will go to the machining process. The output of the machining process is final castings and scrap.

Are die casting machines safe in North America?

The current safety standard for die casting machines shipped for use in North America is NADCA B152.1-2006. This standard details the safety devices required on the DCM, to make it acceptable for use in North America.

What happens if a machine is not equipped for mechanical casting removal?

If a machine is not equipped for mechanical casting removal, the machine will stop after the casting is ejected. The operator must then open the safety door and place his tongs between the die halves, grasp the casting with the tongs, and remove it from the die.
