Patent

CA 2166645

A video positioning system for positioning a pouring vessel over a mold sprue cup comprising one or more light fixtures for illuminating a notch on a pouring mold, an image sensor for sensing the position of the notch on the mold by producing a video notch image, a vision interface unit connected to the image sensor for converting the video notch image to digital information, and a processor connected to said vision interface unit for determining the relativeposition of the notch image compared to a reference position for the notch. Position correction information is sent to a position controller connected to the processor. The position controller causes the position of the pouring vessel to be adjusted by a positioning subsystem comprising a positioning driver for converting the positioning control signals to actuating signals for a positioning actuator, a positioning actuator, and at least one position sensor for sensing the position of the pouring vessel.
