Monitoring Solutions for light alloy casting processes

Aluminium plays a decisive role in the automotive sector, where weight reduction, and therefore cost savings, are paramount.

Over the last decade, there has been a demand for increased performance in permanent die-casting processes to achieve a defect-free large scale production.

This is why any faultsXimperfections in the finished product become highly critical and need to be eliminated.

Most defects in light alloy production,such as peeling, porosity, shrinkage and deposits are caused,Xcan be caused, by a non-optimal distribution of the die temperature.

The correct surface temperature of the die is essential to achieve quality, efficiency and defect-free parts.

A quality production requires a careful assessment of the variables that affect the production process. To nip problems in the bud the surface temperature of the die must be monitored automatically and without interrupting the cycle.

Total Thermal Vision control system allows foundries to improve the efficiency of the light alloy casting process, by monitoring the surface temperature of the dies with infrared vision.

Marposs is the ideal partner for foundries thanks to its many years of experience in monitoring processes in the most hostile and aggressive industrial environments.
