Just as it happened in the plastic industry several years ago, thanks to the newest breakthrough in technological developments achieved by the German company Ferrofacta, the Hot Runner Injection System is ready to change the world of zamak die-casting. Up today, the...
In recent years, the automotive industry has seen the transition from a market mainly dominated by endothermic engines (fossil fuels – methane, diesel, and petrol) towards a significant share of electric vehicles of various types (from hybrid to full electric)....
One of the sectors in which PiQ² software finds a fruitful field of application is that of aesthetic design parts and fashion accessories in Zamak, zinc alloy. PiQ² has always collaborated with companies in this sector in the three large districts of the Italian...
In the previous article we analyzed the PQ2 diagram of the injection shot-end. We understood that it is necessary to predict how the machine can deliver the energy to fill the mold cavity with metal. Now, by drawing the PQ2 curve of the mold, we will see how the metal...
Now let’s see what the PQ² diagram of a press is and why it is essential to understand how to correctly size the mould. What is the PQ² diagram? The PQ² diagram of the press graphically expresses how the injection unit, that is the hydraulic system...
The Castle suite of PiQ², simulation software for die casting that pays particular attention to the automotive world, in particular for OEMs and Tier 1s, differs from the competitors for its constant commitment to the search for innovative solutions deriving from the...
