Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1927415A1] The casting process includes the steps of: preparing an upper mold assembly (20) by securing a core to an upper mold; pouring a necessary minimum amount of a molten metal for obtaining a casting in the hollow of the lower mold; moving downwardly the upper mold assembly at a predetermined first speed to a predetermined height level just before the upper mold assembly comes into contact with a surface of the molten metal in the hollow of the lower mold; further moving downwardly the upper mold assembly, from the predetermined height level, at a predetermined second speed by changing the descending speed of the upper mold assembly from the first speed to the second speed; detecting a status information of the upper mold assembly in a state when the upper mold assembly is superimposed on the lower mold, or arrived at the lower mold; and stopping the descending movement of the upper mold assembly after detecting that the status information comes at a predetermined state. The upper mold assembly is prepared by securing the core to the upper mold with a mechanical means, an adhesive, frictional engagement of a projection (24a,24b) with a recess (22a,22b) or engagement of a projection (24C) with stamped molding sand of the upper mold.
