Including Speed Sensor Patents (Class 164/151.1)
  • Patent number: 9383343
    Abstract: There is provided an aluminum die cast part strength evaluating method is provided for correctly evaluating strength of an actual aluminum die cast part. Strength of the actual aluminum die cast part will be correctly evaluated by conducting ultrasonic inspection of a predetermined range of a high stress region of an aluminum die cast part, which is found out through stress analysis beforehand, for an internal defect, and evaluating that the aluminum die cast part has a predetermined strength if the maximum internal defect area within the predetermined range is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Moreover, an actual aluminum die cast part with a predetermined strength will be evaluated correctly by: evaluating strength using the aluminum die cast part strength evaluating method and setting the maximum-possible internal defect area within the predetermined range of the high stress region to 0.8 mm2 or less.

  • Patent number: 8596332
    Abstract: The invention relates to a speed synchronization system for an aluminum alloy slab continuously casting and rolling line having a twin-belt casting machine and skin pass rolling machine which controls the belt speed of the twin-belt casting machine and roll speed of the skin pass rolling machine. An actually measured value of a slab speed during advance from a twin-belt casting machine to a skin pass rolling machine is compared with a line speed setting to control roll speed of the skin pass rolling machine by proportional/integrated control and simultaneously control belt speed of the twin-belt casting machine based on the line speed setting and a solidification shrinkage rate of the aluminum alloy to be cast.

  • Publication number: 20110300397
    Abstract: When aluminum alloy billet obtained by continuously casting molten aluminum alloy in the shape of rod is cut into a predetermined length by means of a cutting device, and then the aluminum alloy billet thus cut is loaded into a product carrier container with an identification mark that has been made, the casting condition and inspection results of the aluminum alloy billet are stored in the storage unit of a production control device in association with the identification mark so as to stabilize the quality and production of the aluminum alloy billet used for machining materials.
