Seamlessly integrated into your Carat, Evolution, Fusion or Ecoline S die-casting system, SmartVac measures all of your relevant vacuum parameters in real time to enhance process stability and improve the quality of your cast parts.
SmartVac provides direct control and monitoring of commercially available vacuum valves. This includes self-closing valves that are mechanically, thermally (chill block vents) or hydraulically actuated – or combinations thereof.
Process values are recorded cyclically and provide information about the current state of the system. So you are immediately aware of any leaks around the die, and instantly know when a filter has to be cleaned or changed. It also helps you to plan your maintenance proactively, before it impacts on your product quality or leads to a failure.
Your process setup and diagnostics are available on one screen, with a real-time process parameter overview at all times. In addition, SmartVac allows exact documentation, providing you with the required amount of information, which is especially necessary for the high quality demands of the automotive industry.
The SmartVac system meets our high demands. It works very reliably improving the availability of the plant. High quality is guaranteed as well. The waste rate has been reduced by 2.5 % thanks to the higher availability and reduction of downtime. Plus, changing dies can be done very quickly, which means a gain in flexibility for us.
