Synopsis: Die casting machines are highly dependent on electro-hydraulic control systems. This 1-Day workshop overviews the electro-hydraulic valves including the ON/OFF solenoid-operated valves, the proportional valves, and the servo valves. This workshop discusses both the construction and the operating principles for each type of these valves. The workshop also presents datasheets for typical valves from the industry so that the audience learn about the standard terminologies and how to read the specs of the valve.

Synopsis: Die casting is both a thermal and mechanical process. To successfully produce die castings both processes must be accounted for and related to each other. This course will provide the die caster with an understanding of how to calculate metal flow and solidification; along with how to select the optimal machine size for the casting. In 2015 Professor Al Miller developed the new gating equation to calculate the maximum flow time for molten metal. This course will teach the new gating equation and how to utilize it in the PQ2 method.
