Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to A WPAN integrated Solution for Vibration based FFT of Cold Chamber Horizontal Die-Casting Machine within Casting Alloys
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As is common knowledge, machinery plays a critical role in industrial operations, and maintaining both production efficiency and product quality depends on them operating at maximum capacity. Unfortunately, real-time capabilities and extensive analysis tools are often absent from current monitoring systems, making it difficult to identify any problems early on. The lack of a centralized, cloud-based solution makes remote monitoring even more difficult, which causes inefficiencies and delays in resolving machine health-related issues.
US10493521B2 - 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, is the novelty of the system.

This state-of-the-art device provides vital information on the operational condition of Cold Chamber Horizontal Die-Casting Machines by continuously monitoring and analyzing vibration patterns in the machines.

This invention is important because it can be connected to a customized cloud server. Through communication with this particular cloud server, the VFCCHRMote is able to store the vibration data that has been acquired, execute data analytics with pre-established algorithms, and produce FFT results and trends. In addition, the data analysis on the cloud server sets up notifications. The Cold Chamber Horizontal Die-Casting Machine can be remotely monitored and managed with the use of this cloud-based method. Additionally, the outcomes from the cloud server can be accessed via a personalized web dashboard in addition to being shown on the on-site HMI Display.
