Another aspect of die cast process control is Shot Monitoring and Control also know as injection monitoring. While major manufacturers of die casting machines often have their own proprietary monitoring and control systems there are also specialized manufacturers of this type of equipment such as Visi-Trak, Tymac, HotFlow and others. These systems are retrofitted to machines without monitoring or are added to new machines as they are being built at the factory. It is important to note that shot monitoring is different than control. With die cast shot monitoring the system collects data and stores it, it allows operators or technicians to review variables such as injection velocity at different times and distance points, hydraulic system pressures and other data. Think of die cast shot monitoring as the "speedometer" on your car. Die Cast Shot Control (injection control) not only monitors but actually changes settings on the die cast machine to provide the desired result. Think of these more like the "cruise control" on your car.
