(57) Die-casting apparatus has two pairs of die-carrier heads (1, 2) which can be turned
through 180° about a central vertical axis (3) in such a way as to be able to face
either a furnace (4) or an operator (5).
Each die-carrier head (1, 2) is controllable independently of the other in such a
way as to be able to perform the operations of:
- graphiting of each die half;
- inclination of the die-carrier heads (1, 2) for the introduction of mould cores;
- rotation of the said heads (1, 2) for cleaning of the dies;
- closure of the dies with adjustable damping;
- rotation and coupling of the dies to the casting nozzle of the furnace;
- automatic ejection of castings directly onto a receptable provided with suitable
conveyors.
