Publication number: 20140238633Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cast component with a casting device includes providing a casting device. The casting device comprises a filling chamber, a mold cavity comprising a hollow space, runners comprising at least one of a different length and a different cross-section, and a plunger arranged in the filling chamber. The metal melt is provided in a fluid state in the filling chamber. The metal melt is advanced via the runners from the filling chamber to the mold cavity by advancing the plunger in the filling chamber. Electromagnetic fields are provided. A flow velocity of melt currents in the respective runners is increased or decreased via the electromagnetic fields so that a melt front in each of the runners reaches the mold cavity when the filling chamber has been completely filled by the plunger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: SCHULER PRESSEN GMBHInventor: TOBIAS SCHWARZ

Publication number: 20140245226Abstract: A display and operating device has a touch-sensitive display field by way of which the parameters of a parameter vector can be changed. In order to set the parameters, a structure of circular or annular elements is displayed, on the circumference of which a corresponding contact element is positioned. Using the position of a contact element on the circumference of the ring element, the value of the parameter is coded. The contact element is moved by user interaction to different radial positions about the center of the respective ring element to change the parameter value along the display field in the radial direction, and rotated in the circumferential direction of the ring element. The resolution of the parameter adjustment can be established in a simple and intuitive manner by selecting the radial position of the contact element during its rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2012Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Simon Butscher, Jens Mueller, Tobias Schwarz
