Proportional control is used to better control the movement and positioning of hydraulic
actuators. The task was to control hydraulic cylinder for the movement of the casting
plunger for die casting of aluminium. For this type of system, it is important precisely
control the speed, acceleration, pressure and position of the plunger. We performed a
two - axes control, depending on the position and pressure in the hydraulic cylinder.
We have chosen hydraulic and electric components. Finally, we built the test rig for
simulate and analyse the work of the casting plunger and performed measurements.
