Patent number: 8434544Abstract: A die casting process using pattern recognition techniques to identify those die castings manufactured under conditions likely to produce a die casting which would subsequently prove unacceptable for use. By promptly identifying such die castings, they may be discarded before being shipped to a remote facility for further processing. As a result, the rejection rate of die castings at the remote facility may be reduced and the raw materials used to form the discarded die castings may be more readily recycled.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Pace Industries, LLCInventors: Arnie Fulton, Yan Zhu, Michael Bomar

Patent number: 7766070Abstract: A method for operating an automated reciprocator for applying lubricant in a die casting system. As a reciprocator is moved between two die halves and a fluid is applied to the dies with the reciprocator, a safety bar is moved ahead of the reciprocator. Any objects in the path of the reciprocator are detected by contact with the safety bar. If the safety bar contacts an object as the reciprocator is moving down, a sensor signals a control system and the reciprocator is stopped.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Pace Industries, LLCInventors: David R. Thomason, David E. Bumpus, Danny S. Alford, Olen L. Marshall
