Abstract
A mold-shift detection device for upper and lower molds molded and assembled with each other by a flaskless molding machine, comprises: a first distance sensor measuring a distance by irradiating side surfaces of the upper and lower molds with light; a cylinder causing the first distance sensor to scan the side surfaces of the upper and lower molds; and a controller detecting a mold-shift between the upper and lower molds, based on a measurement result in a scan range.

A mold-shift detection device for upper and lower molds molded and assembled with each other by a flaskless molding machine, comprising:
- at least one distance sensor configured to measure a distance by irradiating side surfaces of the upper and lower molds with light;
- a scanner configured to cause the at least one distance sensor to scan the side surfaces of the upper and lower molds;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a mold-shift between the upper and lower molds, based on a measurement result in a scan range scanned by the scanner.
