Abstract

Disclosed is a method of and an apparatus for automatically controlling the pressure in a holding furnace incorporated in a low pressure die-casting system in accordance with a desired pattern. A proportional pressure control valve operated by a microcomputer is provided in a pressurized gas supply circuit for supplying pressurized gas into the holding furnace. The pressure in the holding furnace is changed in accordance with a pattern which is as close as possible to a desired pressurization pattern by sending to the proportional pressure control valve a command value obtained by adding to an input command value of the proportional pressure control valve a correction value calculated by a predetermined computing method.
