Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling an injection of a die-casting machine, the apparatus having an open-shut valve for opening and shutting a hydraulic channel through which hydraulic fluid is discharged from a boost cylinder device and a boost cylinder flow-control valve for regulating a flow of the hydraulic fluid discharged from the boost cylinder device. When a highly viscous molten material is injected toward a casting mold and the molten material reaches a gate of the casting mold, an injection resistance is increased. At this time, by regulating the hydraulic channel with the control valves to discharge the hydraulic fluid in accordance with a predetermined program, the boost cylinder device applies further pressure to the injecting piston to assist injection process, thereby preventing inappropriate change in injection speed. Consequently, the open-shut valve is opened to conduct ordinary pressure boosting pressure process.
