@ARTICLE{Herman_A._The_2012, author={Herman, A.}, number={No 2}, journal={Archives of Foundry Engineering}, howpublished={online}, year={2012}, publisher={The Katowice Branch of the Polish Academy of Sciences}, abstract={The paper deals with problem of optimal used automatic workplace for HPDC technology - mainly from aspects of operations sequence, efficiency of work cycle and planning of using and servicing of HPDC casting machine. Presented are possible ways to analyse automatic units for HPDC. The experimental part was focused on the rationalization of the current work cycle time for die casting of aluminium alloy. The working place was described in detail in the project. The measurements were carried out in detail with the help of charts and graphs mapped cycle of casting workplace. Other parameters and settings have been identified. The proposals for improvements were made after the first measurements and these improvements were subsequently verified. The main actions were mainly software modifications of casting center. It is for the reason that today's sophisticated workplaces have the option of a relatively wide range of modifications without any physical harm to machines themselves. It is possible to change settings or unlock some unsatisfactory parameters.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The Rationalization of Automatic Units for HPDC Technology}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/86384/PDF/06_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10266-012-0031-z}, keywords={automation and robotics in foundry, Quality Management, High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC), Work Cycle, Rationalizationof Automatic Unit}, }
