Technological Optimization of the Stirrup Casting Process with the Use of Computer Simulations

Abstract

The article presents the optimization of high-pressure die casting process technology for equestrian stirrups with the application of computer simulation. In the initial stage, the output technology was analyzed, and on the basis of a series of virtual experiments the cause of defects in the casting was highlighted. The optimization process includes different designs of a gating system. Additionally, the casting application properties were evaluated in an exploitation simulation, taking into account predicted defects resulting from the casting and solidification process. Based on the conducted analyses, technological changes were made to the casting technology design allowing the defects occurring in the original technological concept to be removed.

Computer-Aided Choosing of an Optimal Structural Variant of a Robot for Extracting Castings from Die Casting Machines

“…It should be noted that no gripper is attached to the shown configuration as the gripper design is not included in the current research and is typically configured with regard to a particular gripping task. The gripper must be attached to the end of arm component (7).…”

“…An approach for such modeling based on one DOF is proposed It should be noted that no gripper is attached to the shown configuration gripper design is not included in the current research and is typically configur regard to a particular gripping task. The gripper must be attached to the end component (7). The cycle of the robot is as follows: the initial pose (starting position for the cycle) of the robot is as shown in Figure 12.…”

“…These factors pose a number of problems for companies-economic, technical, social (e.g., providing the necessary personnel), related to energy efficiency, etc. [4][5][6][7]. The automation of foundry operations leads to increase in quality and productivity; reduction in waste and cost; improvement in technical safety and working conditions; reduction in emissions of harmful substances that pollute the soil, water, and air; and reduction in energy costs per unit of production.…”

“…As can be seen from the dependencies (4)- (7), there is an unambiguous relationship between the relative estimate w k (x) and the relative deviation w k (x):…”

Optimization of scheduling scheme for self-driving vehicles by simulation algorithm

“…They have been widely used in various industries, such as architectural design, 9 social practice, 10 material science, 11 engineering mechanics, 12 and life sciences, 13 to study the core nature of a problem at the data level and are typically easy to check and verify. Malysza et al 14 used computer simulation technology to optimize the casting process, while Durgut et al 15 employed simulation and optimization techniques in a hydrological model to improve the prediction performance. Kenett et al 16 have discussed the importance of computer simulations in the new industrial era.…”
