OVERHEAD MANIPULATOR FOR TIPPING, DRAWING, ASSEMBLING, POURING OF CASTING MOLDS AND EXTRUSION OF MOULDING SAND AND CAST OUT OF MOULDING BOX Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B22D33/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: manipulator contains base cross bar with two vertical beams, auxiliary cross bar assembled above base cross bar and base platform installed under base cross bar and designed for hinging various facilities and accessory. Beams are assembled so as to travel along the base cross bar and are equipped with transversal cross bars with pivotally secured hanger rods to grip journals of casting accessory. The base platform is connected with rigid guides via through apertures of cross bars with the upper platform and with the base cross bar to transfer horizontal travels to the vertical beams. The upper platform is equipped with a drive connected by means of a vertical screw shaft with the auxiliary cross bar to transfer vertical movements to the latter. The auxiliary cross bar is connected with the base one by means of stop plates; when cross bars travel against each other stop plates limit rotation angle of transverse cross bars to 180° facilitating tipping.

EFFECT: upgraded accuracy of model drawing and casting molds assembly.
