Abstract
The invention concerns a last serving as template for making shoes, designed for use in an automatic or semi-automatic shoemaking installation. It is provided with a grip device, enabling it to be gripped and/or immobilized by external complementary members, such as the jaws of a manipulator robot's clamp. The last is produced as a part initially cast in synthetic material. An insert is embedded in the material of said part and designed to receive the elements of the grip device. Said elements serve as support and reference for machining the cast part, so as to obtain the final configuration of the last.
