Development and Validation using Casting Simulation of a Multi-point Remote Monitoring System for High-Pressure Die-Casting (HPDC) Mold Cavity

Development and Validation using Casting Simulation of a Multi-point Remote Monitoring System for High-Pressure Die-Casting (HPDC) Mold Cavity

Abstract This research presents the design and implementation process of a remote monitoring system for temperature and force-induced pressure measurements in the mold cavity of high-pressure die casting (HPDC). A K-type thermocouple sensor was chosen to gauge the aggressive environment inside the mold cavity. An ejector pin was adapted for the installation of this sensor,
