Abstract:
A device for positioning a die block (5) of a casting table (1) of a machine for the continuous vertical ascendant casting of parts with respect to a vertical extraction axis (X--X), in which machine the die block (5) is fed through its lower end by means of a device (3) for the supply of liquid iron, wherein said positioning device comprises:a retractable support (15) in which the die block (5) is fixed;a removable frame (6) on which the device (3) supplying the liquid iron is placed;means (18, 19) for relative positioning of the support (15) with respect to the frame (6);immobilizing means (21, 25) designed to immobilize the relative position between the support (15) and the frame (6) in such a way that the support (15) and the frame (6) form an integral assembly;a base (40) located in a predetermined fashion with respect to the vertical extraction axis (X--X) and designed to support the integral assembly; andmeans (60, 64, 47) for aligning the axis (Y--Y) of the die block (5) and the vertical extraction axis (X--X).
