Abstract
A computer implemented method for determining optimized parameter values for a casting process for use with a diecasting machine, including: storing a plurality of known data sets of individual parameters of a casting cycle for a casting process for an optimization program in a die data memory of a die-casting machine control system; transferring automatically each data set of the plurality of known data sets in succession to the die-casting machine control from the die data memory by means of the optimization program, without external manual intervention, and running a preselected number of casting test cycles with each successive data set; testing sample products produced with one data set in the casting test cycles for quality by metallurgical means to provide at least one measured value; assessing quality of the sample products produced with one data set in the casting test cycles employing an automatic quality control operation to identify optimum parameter data sets from the at least one measured value; and using optimum parameter data sets for one series of measured values for the subsequent production of series-produced parts.
