    摘要: The foundry production line (1) includes a sand moulding machine (2), a melt pouring device (3), a shakeout machine (4), a finishing apparatus (18), an inspection station (20) and a computer controlled database system. A pattern plate is provided with a sand mould identification device including a plurality of individually adjustable indicator elements adapted to impress an identification pattern in a sand mould part (37). Each indicator element has rounded edges and indicates a direction. An automatic image detection system includes an imaging device arranged at the inspection station (20) and being adapted to provide a digital image of an individual identification pattern formed in a cleaned casting (19). The automatic image detection system includes a computer system running a computer program developed by means of machine learning to analyse the digital image and thereby detect the individual identification pattern.

    摘要: The present invention provides equipment for casting that has an automatic pouring machine (9) having a removable pouring ladle (8) attached for pouring molten metal from the pouring ladle (8) in molding flasks that are transported in a line and that transports the pouring ladle (8) from a position for supplying the molten metal to the pouring ladle (8) to a position for attaching the pouring ladle (8) to and removing it from the automatic pouring machine (9). The automatic pouring machine comprises a carriage (23), a mechanism for driving (24), a hoisting mechanism (25), a tilting mechanism (26) and a backward- and- forward moving mechanism (27).

    摘要: A method of indexing moulds uses a flaskless moulding machine for forming moulds and a mould conveyor for carrying, and advancing a mould string produced from a plurality of the moulds received by the mould conveyor from the flaskless moulding machine. The method comprises: (i) forming one or more moulds one at a time using the flaskless moulding machine, each of the one or more moulds being added to the mould string while the mould string is stationary by being brought Into contact with the mould string, subsequently to being produced by the flaskless moulding machine. Once the one or more moulds has been produced and added to the mould string, the method continues in step (ii) by advancing the mould siring, in a single motion, away from the flaskless moulding machine a distance corresponding to the sum of the thicknesses of the one or more moulds using the mould conveyor, wherein the flaskless moulding machine assists the mould conveyor in advancing the mould string during a first part of the distance, and wherein the mould conveyor advances the mould string a second part of the distance, corresponding to the remainder of the distance, without assistance from the flaskless moulding machine. The single motion is continuous. A system for indexing moulds is also provided.
