Abstract
A man-machine interface inputs basic data including die and product data to a casting condition calculating section for calculations to have candidate values computed therefrom by expressions for control items of a casting control process, which values are each received as a candidate value to be set for a corresponding control item by a casting condition setting section, which cooperates with a casting condition setting conformity deciding section for a decision on a conformity of the candidate value to a given condition that can be changed by an operator who can observe a result of the decision on a display and a result of an actual casting.
Claims8
A casting control support system for supporting a casting control process of a die casting machine in which molten metal is injected into dies for casting a product, the casting control support system comprising:
- first means for inputting basic data including data on the dies and the product;
- second means for calculations to have candidate values computed from the basic data for a plurality of control items of the casting control process using a plurality of defined expressions;
- third means for receiving the computed candidate values each respectively as a candidate value to be set for a corresponding one of the control items and performing a decision on a conformity of the candidate value to a given condition for the corresponding control item, the third means being operative to change the given condition and to output the candidate value as a set value for the corresponding control item;
- and
- fourth means for displaying at least one of the basic data, the computed candidate values, the candidate value to be set, the given condition for the corresponding control item, and a result of the decision in a selective manner.
