14:00 – 18:00 An innovative network to exploit the High Pressure Die Casting potential
 

The MUSIC Training Course on sensoring, process data management and process simulation is the first open public event in which the project can present its major achievements and results up to now. After a quick project introduction, this training session is mainly dedicated to an up-grade in product and process requirements and in tooling & sensoring device, especially for HPDC processes. The idea behind this event is to promote an innovative monitoring network to get the most out of the HPDC manufacturing process, in terms of product quality and defects minimization, by better understanding and enhancing the single elements influencing the whole process. For this reason, the training will consist of a sequence of presentations focused respectively on: Product and process requirements in relation to defect classification and Quality Maps; Impact of machine parameters in the production line; Die monitoring by means of advanced innovative sensors; Design of new generation dies, equipped with sensors and self-adaptive devices; Quality improvements thanks to lubrication and thermal monitoring systems.

The training course will offer the opportunity to release the first official publication collecting the MUSIC achievements and results of the research obtained up to now: "The MUSIC guide to key-parameters in High Pressure Die Casting".
