A production system capable of further improving production efficiency and quality. The ring management system includes size measurement unit for measuring size of the ring, first convey unit for moving the ring w whose size has been measured, a first stocker having a plurality of storage positions for storing rings conveyed by the first convey unit, a second convey unit for conveying out the rings from the first stocker means for stacking, and a control unit. The control unit includes memory means for storing the rings size measured by the size measurement means in association with the storage position in the first stocker, first selection means for selecting a ring constituting a stacked ring according to the ring size stored in the memory means, and first instruction means to instruct the second convey unit to convey out the ring selected by the first selection means from the storage position pj in the first stocker.

Ring management system

The present invention provides a production system capable of further improving production efficiency and quality. The ring management system comprises size measurement unitfor measuring size (l, t) of the ring w, first convey unitfor moving the ring w whose size has been measured, a first stockerhaving a plurality of storage positions for storing rings conveyed in by the first convey unit, a second convey unitfor conveying out the rings from the first stockermeans for stacking, and a control unit. The control unitincludes memory meansfor storing for each of the rings wi, size (li, ti) measured by the size measurement means in association with the storage position pi in the first stocker, first selection meansfor selecting a ring wj constituting a stacked ring according to the ring size stored in the memory means, and first instruction meansto instruct the second convey unitso as to convey out the ring selected by the first selection meansfrom the storage position pj in the first stocker

A metal ring loading and unloading apparatus is capable of loading and unloading a metal ring quickly and highly accurately for increased efficiency. The metal ring loading and unloading apparatus has a moving unitslidably movable along a railwhich extends from a loaded ring placement unitto an unloaded ring placement unit. On the moving unit, there are mounted a loaded ring delivering unitfor holding and delivering a metal ring W on the loaded ring placement unitand an unloaded ring delivering unitfor removing the metal ring W from support rollersand delivering the metal ring W to the unloaded ring placement unit. The loaded ring placement unithas a pressing unit for radially pressing the metal ring W to deform the metal ring W into a substantially elliptical shape. The loaded ring delivering unithas a loaded ring gripping unitfor gripping the metal ring W deformed by the pressing unit. The unloaded ring delivering unithas an unloaded ring gripping unitfor gripping the metal ring W under its own recovering resiliency produced when the support rollersmove toward each other. The unloaded ring placement unithas a releasing unit for releasing the metal ring W from the unloaded ring gripping unit

Metal ring inputting and outputting device

A centrifugal casting apparatus has a workpiece withdrawal mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a facing material applying mechanism which are disposed parallel to each other on an axial side of a centrifugal casting mold, a unit drive mechanism for moving the workpiece withdrawal mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, and the facing material applying mechanism in unison with each other in the direction indicated by the arrow B across the axial direction indicated by the arrow A, and a pouring mechanism disposed in an opposite axial side of the centrifugal casting mold.

Centrifugal casting equipment

A rolling apparatus is capable of rolling a metal ring to an accurate circumferential length and preventing the metal ring from dropping off. The rolling apparatus includes a metal ring support assembly having tension rollersfor supporting a metal ring W, a rolling rollerfor rolling the metal ring W, a rolling assembly for pressing the rolling rolleragainst the metal ring W, a tension applying assembly having a tension cylinderengaging tension roller support members, on which one of the tension rollersis rotatably supported, for displacing the tension rollerto apply tension to the metal ring W, and a rolling processing completing assemblyfor detecting a completion of rolling of the metal ring W and inactivating the rolling assembly and the tension applying assembly. The rolling assembly has a first resilient memberinterposed between the rolling cylinderand its piston rod. The tension applying assembly has a second resilient memberinterposed between a piston rodof the tension cylinderand the tension roller support member
