Effective and accurate quality control of the die casting process has long been an elusive goal. Because of the hostile environment inherent to this process, die cast mold movements have always been difficult to measure. This lack of reliable real time information results in downtime and tool damage. Our unique system gives die casters a tool to effectively monitor, document, and control the processes in real time.

THE AIR LOGIC SYSTEM (ALS) is designed to provide state-of-the-art quality control for the die casting industry, receiving multiple patents for its innovative design. Its unique, high-tech approach to die-cast machine monitoring will provide you with diagnostic information for more efficiently managing the die casting process, decrease die/mold repair, reduce catastrophic die/mold breakage, and better control die casting production costs. Our Mold and Gauging System is production proven with numerous engineering studies, showing that this system creates quicker die setups, better insight into process limits, and more accurate process measurement. All the information collected can be computer archived for later reference. Delaware Machinery and Tool R&D provides customers with onsite technical services to accurately and quickly evaluate existing production methods, develop measurement techniques for new processes, and create a customized approach for each customer’s unique project.

Non-Contact Part Inspection and Gauging with our AGS system is a similar measurement system to the ALS, concentrating on part inspection and gauging. Up to 30 channels are used to accurately and repeatedly gauge die cast parts, lost foam patterns, wax patterns, and sand cores. Since the measurement process is non-contact, low modulus (soft) materials are not deformed or damaged during measurement. Measurements are as accurate, or better than most CMM’s with complete part measurement in seconds. All software is configurable by the end user and gauging programs can be developed and ready for inspection in one hour. Minimal instruction is necessary for operation and training can be finished in minutes.
