FRECH's cold-chamber diecasting machine, the DAK 450M, has an automated feeding system. The machine includes DataDialog control system, which reduces trial and error of manual machine set-up to the simplicity of calling up the parameters for the job from the system's memory, and the fault diagnosis feature, which generates an onscreen report in the case of a machine stoppage. If a problem concerns an imperfection in the casting itself, DataDialog has an extensive photo-library of casting defects, and their causes for visual matching.
