First of all, mold design, mold is an important tool to realize the casting process, its design directly affects the quality and production efficiency of the casting. In automated control, mold design needs to consider the following points: First, use CAD/CAM technology for mold design.
First, use CAD/CAM technology for mold design, through simulation analysis and optimization design, make the contact structure more reasonable and reliable, and meet the requirements of various complex shaped castings; second, combine mold sensor technology to collect information such as mold deformation, temperature, and pressure, monitor and control the boundary conditions of the mold, repair the mold in a timely manner, and ensure continuous stable production.
Repair molds to ensure continuous and stable production; third, apply rapid prototyping technology to utilize the rapid manufacturing and repair of molds, reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency and mold life.
Secondly, process planning. The process requirements of a precision casting parts factory are very strict, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate process path based on the specific product characteristics and production requirements. In automation control, process planning needs to consider the following aspects: first, optimize process parameters using numerical simulation technology.
In terms of technology, optimize process parameters to ensure flow performance, solidification heat transfer performance, and interface compatibility requirements; secondly, determine the casting process according to the requirements of product shape and size, including the design of the gating system, temperature control, cooling parameters, etc. Third, this process is combined with intelligent sensor technology to monitor liquid metal in real time.
It combines intelligent sensor technology to monitor real-time data such as liquid metal temperature, flow rate, casting form, etc., adjusts process parameters through feedback control system, and improves the stability and repeatability of the casting process.
