A measuring device includes: a support which supports a measurement target object; a furnace which heats the measurement target object; an elevating mechanism which moves the furnace; and an electronic balance which measures the weight of the measurement target object, the elevating mechanism moving the furnace so that the measurement target object which is supported by the support is housed in the furnace.

Measuring device

An aspect of the present invention provides a mold information management device, a casting system, and a mold information management method each of which makes it possible to reduce a rate of occurrence of defective casting products due to unreadable identification marks, as compared to a conventional rate of the occurrence. A mold information management device includes at least one processor, the processor carrying out: a determination process for determining whether an identification mark is good or not, on the basis of image data or profile data obtained by capturing an image of or scanning a surface of a mold on which the identification mark is engraved; and an associating process for associating the identification mark with information on at least one of history and properties of the mold, in a case where the identification mark has been determined to be good in the determination process.

Mold information management device, casting system, mold information management method, and storage medium

A laser marking apparatus includes a head marking the identifier on a mold, a light-shielding case, a light-shielding gate provided at either a carrying-in port or a carrying-out port of the light-shielding case, and a control unit controlling operation of the head and operation of the light-shielding gate, and the control unit closes the light-shielding gate and causes the head to start a marking operation on the mold in response to carrying-in of the mold into the operation space and opens the light-shielding gate in response to the marking operation ending.

Laser marking apparatus, laser marking system, and laser marking method

A mold processing system includes a conveyance line intermittently conveying a mold with a predetermined standstill time, a processing apparatus, a conveyance apparatus conveying the processing apparatus along the conveyance line, and a control unit, wherein the control unit controls the conveyance apparatus to set the processing apparatus at a position corresponding to a first position on the conveyance line and controls the processing apparatus to perform a part of the process on the mold conveyed to the first position, and the control unit controls, after completion of the part of the process, the conveyance apparatus to move the processing apparatus to a position corresponding to a second position and controls the processing apparatus to perform the rest of the process within the standstill time.

Mold processing system and mold processing method

A method is provided for measuring a shift between a carrier for a pattern (a carrier plate) and a flask and preventing a defect caused by a shift in the cavity parts. The method for preventing a defect caused by the shift in the cavity parts in molding a cope and a drag with flasks by using a cope flask () that is assembled with a carrier plate () for the cope flask and a drag flask () that is assembled with a carrier plate () for the drag flask, comprises the steps of measuring a shift between the carrier plate () for the cope flask and the cope flask (), measuring a shift between the carrier plate () for the drag flask and the drag flask (), measuring a shift between the cope flask () and the drag flask () that have been assembled, determining if a shift in cavity parts is within an allowable range, wherein the data on the shift is obtained based on the shift between the carrier plate () for the cope flask and the cope flask (), the shift between the carrier plate () for the drag flask and the drag flask (), and the shift between the cope flask () and the drag flask (, that have been assembled.

Method for preventing defect caused by shift in cavity parts

To provide a method and a machine for forming flaskless molds with a shortened cycle time even if many cores are placed, to thereby achieve efficient molding. The flaskless molding machine comprises at least four pairs of upper and lower flasks, each pair comprising an upper flaskand a lower flask, a devicefor pivoting the flasks to move the at least four pairs of upper and lower flasks via at least four stations, including a molding station, a first station for placing a core, a second station for placing a core, and a station for extracting the molds, a match plate, a pair of squeeze plates, a storage tankfor sand, a devicefor moving forward and backward around an axis that moves around the axis the upper and lower flasks where an upper mold cavity and a lower mold cavity are formed so that ports for introducing molding sand can receive the molding sand from a pair of nozzles for introducing molding sand, a squeezing device, a devicefor moving the upper and lower flasks, and a devicefor extracting the molds.
