Abstract

A method and system for operating a green-sand molding machine with the aid of a computer is provided. An input interface (2) receives the input data of a user that includes the type of a given green-sand molding process, the design condition of a pattern plate, the physical characteristics of the green sand, and the pressure of squeezing, for the machine (1). A calculating unit (3) calculates the charging of the green sand in a green-sand mold by analyzing the green-sand molding process based on the input data of the user from the input interface (2) before the mold has been actually produced. An output interface (4) provides the calculated results from the calculating unit (3) to the machine (1) so as to make the controlled amount for the machine (1) to follow the results calculated during an actual molding process that is carried out by the machine (1).
