摘要:
An image of the separating plane of each of mold pieces of a metallic mold is picked up by a infrared vidicon camera before the mold pieces are closed together. That image is then processed so as to obtain a temperature distribution pattern which is in turn compared with a target temperature distribution pattern previously stored in memory. With the result of the comparison, the mold piece is cooled or heated so as to have the target temperature pattern before the mold pieces are closed together.

A method of manufacturing a low melting-point metal core is provided, which consists of fitting a loose piece 6 having a built-in heater 5 in a mold 4, casting molten metal by pushing it up from a furnace into the cavity of the mold 4 to fill it, keeping the mold in a filled state for a given time, and stopping the casting step at a time at which the molten metal at the central part of the cavity is still unsolidified, so as to have the unsolidified molten metal fall freely into the furnace.

A gravity type tiltable metal mold casting machine, comprising: a pair of opposing upright supporting frames (2, 2); a pair of opposing main rotating shafts (3, 3) rotatably mounted on the upright supporting frames (2, 2); a main frame (4) suspended from and between the main rotating shafts (3, 3); an electric motor (19) attached to one of the main rotating shafts (3, 3) for reversibly rotating it and hence the frame (4); a drag die plate (6) vertically moved by mold-fastening cylinders (5, 5) mounted on a lower part of the main frame (4); a metal drag (10) secured to the drag die plate (6), the metal drag having a drag pushing-out mechanism (23) for pushing an as-cast product out of the metal drag; a pair of opposing horizontal cope tilting shafts (13, 13) secured to an upper end of the main frame at locations rearward of the main rotating shafts (3, 3); a cope-attaching frame (14) rotatably mounted at one end on the cope tilting shafts (13, 13); a cope die plate (16) secured to a lower surface of the cope-attaching frame (14); a metal cope (17) secured to the cope die plate (16), the metal cope having a cope pushing-out mechanism (26) for pushing an as-cast product out of the metal cope, a ladle (21) rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis of rotation, the horizontal axis of rotation being located rearward of the assembly of the metal cope and drag; and an electric motor (9) for reversibly rotating the ladle (21) about the horizontal axis of rotation, wherein the center of the assembly of the metal cope and drag is substantially on the axis of rotation of the main rotating shafts.
