Abstract

A mold material introducing apparatus for introducing mold materials into a mold includes material supplying means for supplying a predetermined amount of mold material into the mold, moving means for moving the mold relative to the material supplying means and vice versa, and control means for outputting command signals to those means. The control means divides the inside of the mold into segments and assigns addresses to those segments, and controls the material supplying means and the moving means so that a predetermined amount of a predetermined mold material is located at each of the address locations. Accordingly, the mold materials of different kinds that are led into the mold are dispersed in a predetermined state.
