Abstract

PURPOSE: To effectively remove casting flash obstructing the discharge of a core sand at each position of an aluminum casting. CONSTITUTION: The aluminum casting 6 is held with an end effector 3 fitted to the tip part of an arm of a six axial articulated robot 2 and carried to near a spindle device 4 arranged at near the robot 2. The six axial articulated robot 2 pushes the aluminum casting 6 in the holding condition to a drill tool 5 rotated at high speed and fitted to a spindle device 4 and the casting flash is bored, crushed and removed. As the same way, the casting flash at each position of the aluminum casting 6 is removed. Thereafter, the six axial articulated robot 2 releases the held aluminum casting 6 to complete the pre-treatment process for removing the core.

2. Description of the Related Art Since an aluminum cast product having a complicated shape such as a cylinder head of an automobile engine part often has a void that expands inside, it is generally cast by placing a core inside a mold. The core determines the installation position by contacting a part of it with the mold, but due to the dimensional tolerance of the mold and the core,
There is a gap between the mating surface of the mold and the core or the mating surface of the core. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the core 10 is installed inside the aluminum casting 6 to secure the water cooling circuit, the pouring metal flows into the mating surface of the core and the casting die, and the casting burr 9 is generated. Occurs.
