PROCESS CONTROL & PRODUCTION

QuadCast utilizes a number of sophisticated methods to automate our die-casting process and provide continuous quality control.

QuadCast quality is facilitated by real-time knowledge of production process parameters. Engineers and operators are provided with the information required to control transformation technology by:

Real-time monitoring of key parameters

Master Shot Profile Comparison

On-line SPC

Capability studies

Die-casting machine calibration

Sophisticated electronic monitoring provides operators with feedback on over 20 critical process parameters including:

Fill-time

Biscuit length

Multiple shot velocities

Pressures

Critical process parameters are computed and displayed with a full-color profile. Each parameter is compared to predetermined master set points and tolerances. Results are automatically tabulated to create process control summery reports and process trend graphs.

The SPC software can compute the mean, capability indices, standard deviation range, and upper/lower control limits on shot end and casting parameters, as well as flag out-of-control points.

Once the final design is accepted, a series of quality control measures ensuring the integrity of the part, specified tolerances, and processes are implemented. Alloys are tested, specifications are verified, statistical samplings are monitored, and castings are inspected for manufacturing and production defects and irregularities. The result is a cost efficient, consistently produced, high-quality product delivered on time and within budget.
