Casting tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a casting tool for the production of castings, particularly cores for sand castings, pressure die-castings, and gravity diecastings, comprising a first casting tool unit (2) including a first casting mold half (22) having a first mold recess (24) the contour (22b) of which at least partly defines the shape of the casting, an ejecting assembly (6) disposed on that side of the first casting mold half (22) which faces away from the first mold recess (24) and capable of movement in the direction of a Z-axis relatively to the first casting tool unit (2) and having at least one ejecting rod (62) which can extend through an access bore (22a) into the first mold recess (24) in the first casting mold half (22), wherein an entrainer unit (76) is attached to the ejecting assembly (6), to which entrainer a contact surface (30a) provided on the first casting tool unit (2) is assigned for contacting the entrainer (76), wherein the entrainer (76) and the contact surface (30a) jointly define the maximum distance of the first casting tool unit (2) from the ejecting assembly (6). According to the invention the contact surface (30a) is provided on a releasable and/or adjustable spacing element (30) the latter being adjustable in terms of its dimension in the direction of the Z-axis by means of an adjusting device, which spacing element is attached the first casting tool unit (2) and extends away from the ejecting assembly (6) in the direction of the Z-axis.
