There are many factors that affect the quality of castings, especially the occurrence of various casting defects.
With the application of computer numerical simulation technology, product design is pre evaluated at the technical level, and process parameters are refined and quantified. Through casting process simulation, technical personnel can avoid the occurrence of random phenomena such as trial and error based on personal experience and design based on fuzzy feelings in the casting process, ensuring that the design and manufacturing parameters of casting can be visualized and quantified, and promoting the application of digitalization; Every operational process of casting, especially key processes and links such as mold manufacturing, core manufacturing, coating baking, etc., is controlled by standardized quantitative parameters. The successful application of advanced technologies such as 3D printing and industrial robots today relies on the exchange of a large amount of data to complete unified and accurate operations for the same product, ensuring the reproducibility of product manufacturing; Online digital control breaks away from the extensive management of traditional casting, solves the quality instability problems caused by emotional factors, environmental weather differences, or personnel turnover of operators, and ensures the consistency of mass product quality.
In the new era where big data is overwhelming, traditional casting enterprises and production methods are facing serious challenges.
Intelligent casting is a highly integrated product of information technology and casting production, including intelligent casting technology and intelligent casting systems. Intelligent casting technology includes digital simulation, 3D printing, robotics, ERP, etc; The intelligent casting system is a big data knowledge base with learning ability, which can self plan and improve through comparative analysis of environmental information and self information. The typical application mode of "intelligent casting" is "digital casting factory", which uses information technology to manage all internal processes such as production processes, quality control processes, financial processes, product development processes, and human resource management training processes. At the same time, information technology is used to handle the associated processes with suppliers and customers. It is possible to simulate and regulate the entire production process. In the "digital foundry", heavy physical labor has been basically eliminated, and 80% of employees can work in air-conditioned rooms, with a clean environment. At the same time, production efficiency and efficiency have been greatly improved.
