Abstract
The invention relates to a system and a method for casting in which an upper casting mold half can be pivoted out of a horizontal position into an approximately vertical position, in such a manner that the inside surface of the casting mold half can be treated in work-facilitating and time-saving manner, preferably by a person.
Claims24
A system for casting under pressure, using a permanent casting mold composed of at least first and second casting mold parts, wherein at least the first casting mold part is pivoted, after the permanent casting mold has been opened, into a position in which the inside surface of the first casting mold part is treated in work-facilitating and time-saving manner, the system further comprising at least one casting apparatus, a rail system, and at least one carriage disposed on the rail system, for fully automated pickup or removal, and fully automated discharge or transfer of a furnace, wherein the carriage moves back and forth between the at least one casting apparatus and a readiness position situated at a distance from the at least one casting apparatus, in such a manner that the carriage picks up the furnace at the readiness position and transfers the furnace to the at least one casting apparatus, or that the carriage removes the furnace from the at least one casting apparatus and discharges the furnace at a free location of the readiness position.
A system for casting under pressure, using a permanent casting mold composed of at least first and second casting mold parts, wherein at least the first casting mold part is pivoted, after the permanent casting mold has been opened, into a position in which the inside surface of the first casting mold part is treated in work-facilitating and time-saving manner, the system further comprising at least one casting apparatus, a rail system, and at least one carriage disposed on the rail system, for fully automated pickup or removal and fully automated discharge or transfer of a casting mold or casting mold part, wherein the carriage moves back and forth between the at least one casting apparatus and a readiness position situated at a distance from the at least one casting apparatus, in such a manner that the carriage picks up the casting mold or casting mold part at the readiness position and transfers the casting mold or casting mold part to the at least one casting apparatus, or that the carriage removes a casting mold or casting mold part from the at least one casting apparatus and discharges the casting mold or casting mold part at a free location of the readiness position, for further use.
A system for casting under pressure, comprising a permanent casting mold composed of at least first and second casting mold parts, wherein at least the first casting mold part is pivoted, after the permanent casting mold has been opened, into an interior treatment position, an inside surface of the first casting mold part being treatable in work-facilitating and time-saving manner in the interior treatment position of the first casting mold part,
- wherein when the first casting mold part is in the interior treatment position, a mold opening of the first casting mold part is disposed at a first lateral side of the permanent casting mold and the mold opening is open towards an outside of the permanent casting mold,
- wherein the first casting mold part is an upper casting mold half that is pivoted about a pivot axis running horizontally and running on the first lateral side of the permanent casting mold and
- wherein during pivoting of the upper casting mold half to the interior treatment position, the underside forming the cast piece or the inner surface of the upper casting mold half leads the backside of the upper casting mold half.
A system for casting under pressure, comprising a permanent casting mold composed of at least first and second casting mold parts, wherein at least the first casting mold part is pivoted, after the permanent casting mold has been opened, into an interior treatment position, an inside surface of the first casting mold part being treatable in work-facilitating and time-saving manner in the interior treatment position of the first casting mold part,
- wherein when the first casting mold part is in the interior treatment position, a mold opening of the first casting mold part is disposed at a first lateral side of the permanent casting mold and the mold opening is open towards an outside of the permanent casting mold,
- wherein the first casting mold part is a lower casting mold half that is pivoted about a pivot axis running horizontally and running on the first lateral side of the permanent casting mold,
- wherein the lower casting mold part is pivoted up, and
- wherein during pivoting of the lower casting mold half to the interior treatment position, the upper side forming the cast piece or inner surface of the lower casting mold half leads the backside of the lower casting mold half.
