PXIE-1085 At present, the new energy automobile industry is growing rapidly, market competition has entered the white heat, and cost reduction has become the number one concern of the automobile industry. In the context of dual-carbon, “integrated die casting” technology with its integration, scale, intelligence, green, high-end and other advantages, to drive vehicle body manufacturing process lightweight innovation, help the global automobile manufacturing process change.
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of CITIC Decca Co., LTD., Qinhuangdao Xinyue Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. has advanced technology and rich experience in the field of aluminum casting equipment integration. In February this year, by its joint with another CITIC Group subsidiary officially launched the “7500T integrated die casting machine”, which is not only one of China’s largest two plate die casting machine independently researched and developed, but also was rated as one of the first ten scientific and technological innovation projects of CITIC Group “14th Five-Year Plan”, and was unveiled at the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
As a partner of CITIC Decca and its subsidiaries in the automotive key equipment transformation track, Siemens has provided comprehensive support for the development, manufacturing and operation of this intelligent equipment by integrating the digital frontier technology of the real and digital world.
Clamping force 7500T “industrial giant”
This integrated die casting machine with a clamping force of up to 7,500 tons is a viPXIE-1085 vid practice of CITIC Decca’s core technology and breakthroughs in the field of scientific and technological innovation. From the point of view of the main equipment alone, it is 22 meters long, 8 meters wide, 6.5 meters high, weighing 550 tons, and covers an area close to two basketball courts, which can be said to be an unassailable “industrial giant”.
Digital twin
● Create accurate “digital doppelgons” for complex equipment
As one of the first ten scientific and technological innovation projects of CITIC Group’s “14th Five-Year Plan”, CITIC Deca has high hopes for the research and development of this equipment, not only to speed up the research and development and manufacturing cycle of the equipment, but also to have a high process stability, simply put, “fast and good”.
For such a “heavyweight” device
How do you achieve your goals?
Experts from Siemens Research Institute have held several “Digital Twin Co-creation workshopPXIE-1085 s” with customers to study and solve problems together, introducing the concept of Siemens Digital Twin technology (DT) and Industrial Metaverse from the equipment development stage. The whole life cycle digital twin model is established for die casting machine, which runs through design, manufacture, operation and maintenance, and simulates key processes and equipment operation conditions such as injection and electromechanical hydraulic coupling. In this way, before any part is put into production, the digital twin can assist customers to complete complex demonstrations at a controllable cost, and guide subsequent design optimization, saving a lot of money and time costs for experimental demonstration. According to reports, with the blessing of the digital twin, the R & D manufacturing cycle of this 7500T integrated die casting machine has been shortened by about 50%.
