ABSTRACT:
An industrial robot for casting products by pouring molten metal in a ladle mounted on an arm thereof to successively conveyed molds, comprises a drive mechanism for driving the ladle to incline with respect to the mold, means for measuring a level of molten metal in the mold, means for detecting an inclination rate of the ladle and a central processing unit having a memory for storing an optimum level of molten metal in the mold and inclination rate of the ladle, the central processing unit being adapted to receive a level data from the measuring means and an inclination rate data from the detecting means, compare the data with the optimum level and inclination rate, calculate deviations of the data from the optimum level and inclination, and supply control signals to the drive mechaniam to control the latter optimally.
