Abstract
A centrifugal casting device casts a cast product by pouring molten metal into a mold while rotating the mold, and includes: a control unit for controlling the rotational speed of the mold; and a determination unit for determining whether or not the head position of the molten metal flowing in the direction of a rotation axis of the mold has reached a predetermined position. The control unit rotates the mold at a first rotational speed, and rotates the mold at a second rotational speed in a case where the determination unit determines that the head position has reached the predetermined position.
Claims8
A centrifugal casting device that casts a cast product by pouring molten metal into a mold while rotating the mold, the centrifugal casting device comprising:
- one or more processors that execute computer-executable instructions stored in a memory,
- wherein the one or more processors execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the centrifugal casting device to:
- control a rotational speed of the mold to rotate the mold at a first rotational speed;
- determine whether or not a head position of the molten metal flowing in a direction of a rotation axis of the mold has reached a predetermined position;
- and
- rotate the mold at a second rotational speed in a case where it is determined that the head position has reached the predetermined position.
A centrifugal casting method for casting a cast product by pouring molten metal into a mold while rotating the mold, the centrifugal casting method comprising:
- starting pouring of the molten metal into the mold in a state where the mold is rotated at a first rotational speed;
- determining whether or not a head position of the molten metal flowing in a direction of a rotation axis of the mold has reached a predetermined position;
- and
- rotating the mold at a second rotational speed in a case where it is determined that the head position has reached the predetermined position.
