The speed of the plunger at each stage of a shot provides vital information about the Die Casting process.

  Parameter Effect on the process
  Slow Shot Speed Expelling air from the vents
  Fast Shot Speed Machine settings and condition of the machine
  Cavity Fill Speed Condition of the gates
  Creep Speed Condition of the plunger and rings
  Cavity Fill Time Casting surface quality
  Gate Speed Casting internal quality

Die-Shot will calculate and display each of these parameters and compare them to a target value.

You can set alarms on any of the above parameters to warn you when your process is out of control.
