Exclusive for Shibaura Machine Die Casting Machines
Die Mold Temperature Management System
TOSMOGRAPHY

TOSMOGRAPHY is a mold temperature management system that visualizes mold temperature in a non-contact manner using a thermal camera and supports defect reduction and productivity improvement.

■ Optimized exclusively for Shibaura Machine die casting machines through integrated design with TOSCAST
■ Detects abnormalities by monitoring difficult-to-manage mold surface temperature as an area, clarifying the causes of quality variation
■ Supports improvement by detecting defects such as cold shuts and soldering through temperature fluctuation monitoring

Record measurement results in line data
Enhanced traceability

■ Register in a quality control item, enabling settings such as "alarm output" and "product ejection" in case of abnormality
■ Since shooting settings and alarm thresholds are stored in mold data, individual setup is unnecessary, contributing to optimized setup time

Contributing to extended mold life

■ Early detection of temperature unevenness and abnormal heating, enabling early identification of mold damage and contributing to longer mold life

Changes in mold temperature that cause quality variation
From “measuring” mold temperature to “judging” it

Among the factors causing product quality variation, increasing attention has recently been paid to imbalance in mold temperature due to the growing size of products.
TOSMOGRAPHY uses a thermal camera to clarify mold temperature, enabling not only the understanding of mold temperature variation but also the process behind it, thereby visualizing the root causes of temperature imbalance. It supports the suppression of product quality variation.

TOSMOGRAPHY solves on-site challenges

Identifying defect causes at the production site

By displaying temperature distribution on the TOSCAST screen and incorporating mold temperature into quality control items, defect cause investigation can be completed on-site.

Prevention of defect recurrence

Automatically detects deviations from upper and lower limits of quality control items and prevents defect recurrence through a “system-based” approach.

Non-contact measurement of critical areas

Even temperatures of pins and slide sections where thermocouples cannot be installed are accurately captured across the entire mold surface in a non-contact manner, contributing to preventive maintenance.

Significant reduction of on-site workload

Full integration of TOSCAST and TOSMOGRAPHY. Linked with mold data to complete setup, greatly reducing on-site workload.

Shibaura Machine’s Challenge Toward Reducing Defect Rates

Among defect factors, we have addressed the barrier related to mold temperature variation—which is difficult to judge—by realizing it through 3E (Easy) in terms of introduction, operation, and evaluation.
Optimized exclusively for Shibaura Machine die casting machines, TOSMOGRAPHY is integrated with TOSCAST, enabling easy system introduction. Contributes to the production site through three EASY steps from introduction to operation.

Lead time reduced from 3 steps to 1 step for implementation

In general, mold temperature visualization requires coordination with multiple vendors such as [die casting machines], [thermal cameras], and [monitoring systems], but with TOSMOGRAPHY, all implementation-related discussions are completed with our company alone.
Furthermore, since high-performance cameras operate on TOSCAST, there is no need for relay devices, monitors, or new software, making the system easy to introduce, space-saving, and enabling integrated management only with the die casting machine itself—supporting the production site as a powerful all-in-one solution.

Thermo Solution

Freeing die casting from tacit knowledge
Shibaura Machine aims to integrate TOSMOGRAPHY, secondary cooling, and dPAQET2 to connect “experienced know-how” into a future of “shared intelligence.”
