Visi-Trak Traceability SystemUniquely Identify, Track, and Store QC Data for Every Part
October 2008Jürgen Wüst
Key Features:
Automatically collect and archive valuable shot data for each part.
Uniquely identify each part you produce.
Capture and link important secondary machining data.
Analyze your data to inform your customers and improve quality.
Archive your information for future access.

A Pro-active Approach to Process Control
Monitor key variables
- Shot-end Hydraulic characteristics – Position, Velocity, Pressure, Vacuum
- Furnace and die temperatures.
- Tie-bar stress
- Cycle times.
Casting characteristics are calculated and reported on by monitoring equipment.

Mounting Block
Transducer
Chrome CoatedGrooved Rod
How Does The Sensor Work?
It detects variation in the magnetic field caused by the rod’s grooved internal structure – at up to 480in per second at .0125” resolutions.

“The retrofit package and the Sure-Trak2 Control from Visi-Trak®, has given us a shot system with outstanding control & performance. This economical solution extended the service life of the machine and helps us continue to make cost-effective castings after they have outgrown the clamp tonnage capacity of the machine. Its a lot of bang for the buck.”
