A green sand mold molding sensor that can measure the pressure applied to a parting plane of a green sand mold in order to determine the quality (casting mold strength) of a molded green sand mold. A green sand mold molding sensor including a pressure sensor for evaluating the molding properties of a green sand mold molded by a casting mold molding machine, wherein the pressure sensor is embedded in a plate having a model attached thereto.

Green sand mold forming sensor and green sand mold formability evaluation method

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.

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

Provided is a foundry sand supply device capable of collecting foundry sand at an arbitrary timing. The foundry sand supply device includes a bucket collecting the foundry sand, a bucket drive unit rotatably supporting the bucket and driving the bucket, and a moving unit moving the bucket drive unit close to and away from the foundry sand, and moving the bucket drive unit between a collecting position to collect the foundry sand and a supply position to supply the foundry sand.

Foundry sand supply device, foundry sand inspection system, and foundry sand collection 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 mold shake-out system to suppress the effects of an excessive or insufficient water sprinkling amount in mold shake-out that separates a mold, into which castings have been poured, into castings and molding sand, the mold shake-out system including: a shake-out device that separates the castings and a mold into the castings and the molding sand; a water sprinkling portion that sprinkles water in the shake-out device; and a control device that controls the water sprinkling amount in the water sprinkling portion; the control device adjusting the water sprinkling amount on the basis of molding/pouring data including molding data regarding the mold into which castings have been poured and which is loaded into the shake-out device, pouring data regarding molten metal that forms the castings, and time data from when the molten metal is poured into the mold until when the mold is loaded into the shake-out device.
