A die casting machine includes a clamping device which opens and closes and clamps a pair of die halves, an injection apparatus which performs injection to the pair of die halves by making a plunger move forward in a sleeve communicated with a space between the pair of die halves, and a control device which controls the clamping device and injection apparatus. The control device includes an injection control part and press-use clamping control part. The injection control part controls the injection apparatus so as to start the injection in a state where the pair of die halves face each other through a gap. The press-use clamping control part controls the clamping device so that the die contact and clamping are carried out after the start of injection. Further, the injection control part performs control for decelerating the plunger before the plunger stops.

Die casting machine

A die casting machine includes a plurality of ejector pins capable of advancing and retracting together with respect to the internal portion of a die; an electric motor capable of driving the plurality of ejector pins; a position sensor capable of detecting the positions of the plurality of ejector pins; a force sensor capable of detecting the pressure which is given to the molding material inside the die by the plurality of ejector pins; a display device capable of displaying images, and a control device controlling the electric motor and display device. The control device includes a drive control part which controls the electric motor so as to generate a driving force making the plurality of ejector pins advance to the inside of the die after the start of injection and before die opening, and a display control part which controls the display device so as to display the position detected by a position sensor and the pressure detected by a force sensor along a common time axis.

Molding machine

An apparatus for producing a semi-solidified metal has a heating device which heats a metal material, a vessel, a cooling device which cools the vessel, and a pouring device which pours the metal material into the vessel. The vessel has a hollow member which configures a wall of the vessel and is opened at both of the upper and lower ends and into which the metal material is poured from the upper opening, and a bottom member which closes the lower opening of the hollow member and configures the bottom of the vessel. The cooling speed of the metal material by the bottom member is faster than the cooling speed of the metal material by the hollow member.

Apparatus for producing semi-solidified metal, method for producing semi-solidified metal, and semi-solidified metal

An production apparatus of a semi-solidified metal has a vessel and a cooling device. The vessel into which a liquid-state metal material M is poured has a hollow member which is opened in up and down directions, and a bottom member which can close the lower opening of the hollow member and can be separated from the hollow member. The cooling device can cool the bottom member more than the hollow member.

Molding apparatus, production apparatus of semi-solidified metal, production method of semi-solidified metal, and molding method

A quality management device and a die-cast molding machine capable of suitably inspecting quality in relation to the amount of blowholes of a die-cast product which is cast according to a PF die casting method are provided. A quality management deviceperforms the quality management of the die-cast product formed according to the pore free die casting method of supplying oxygen to a cavity Ca and an injection sleevecommunicated with the cavity Ca and, in that state, ejecting a melt in the injection sleeveinto the cavity Ca. Further, the quality management devicehas a vacuum sensorwhich detects the air pressure in the cavity Ca and a control devicewhich makes good/defective judgment of quality of the die-cast product in relation to the amount of blowholes based on the air pressure detected by the vacuum sensorduring injection.
