Die Casting Inspection
Die Casting Mold Temperature Measurement Application
[Background]
The die-casting island is the core of the integrated die-casting process and refers to the die-casting operation area within the die-casting operation site. It typically consists of a die-casting machine, die, lubrication system, die temperature control system, furnace, and auxiliary equipment. Die-casting is the primary processing method for automotive aluminum alloy parts, and the penetration of aluminum alloys in large components for new energy vehicles is rapidly increasing.
The ideal temperature range for spray coating is 160°C-280°C. Good mold temperature control ensures that the release agent adheres to the mold surface, reducing defects such as scratches and sticking.
[Pain Points]
During every die-casting cycle, whether during the heating phase or during mass production, the thermal profile captured by the mold temperature monitoring system allows for accurate correction of the mold’s thermal balance, helping engineers adjust various die-casting process parameters in real time. Conventional mold temperature monitoring methods lack effective management, data visualization, data usability, data integrity, and accuracy.
[Thermal Imaging Application Introduction]
1. Technical Route: The die-casting monitoring system is a non-contact, panoramic temperature imaging device. By capturing real-time temperature data from the mold surface, the die-casting monitoring system can rapidly identify thermal defects in the mold and enable cloud-based data exchange.
2. Product Selection: Oil-Resistant Thermal Imaging Camera
3. User Value: The die-casting monitoring system allows users to collect real-time temperature images and data from the mold without disrupting normal production processes or mold thermal balance. This enables cloud-based interaction, promotes intelligent manufacturing in the die-casting industry, and improves die-casting quality.
4. Implementation Case: A Die-Casting Temperature Measurement Project in Chongqing
[Solution Highlights]
1. The die-casting industry experiences high temperatures and is accompanied by oil mist and aerosols, requiring a protective design proven in the rigors of industrial environments. Hikvision Micro-Image’s die-casting series products feature built-in air cooling, which also creates an air curtain in front of the lens to ensure stable system operation.
2. The mechanical protective cover opens only during image capture and quickly closes after the capture is complete. High-precision sealing technology protects the lens from oil mist and aerosols.
3. A replaceable germanium lens is installed on the front of the lens, allowing for easy removal, cleaning, and replacement of the germanium lens.
