Installation for handling socket cores for a centrifugal casting machine

摘要

The installation comprises a first core support pivotable about a fixed axis between a horizontal position and vertical position. The core is mounted on the first support. A second core support having a horizontal axis is provided with a core gripping device and is movable between the first core support, in which it receives the core from the first core support in the vertical position of the first support, and the socket end of a centrifugal casting mould. The two supports are provided with a device for mutually centering the two supports when transferring the core from one support to the other.
