DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This detailed explanation of the invention does not merely aim to improve understanding of the subject matter; it does not contain any other information. This is explained with examples that will not create a limiting effect. Figure 1 shows a representative isometric view of the manipulator (10) that is the subject of the invention. The manipulator (10) is used to mold the vitrified products and the molds of these molds. It is positioned between the stations where the parts will be transferred and the mold part being picked up from the counter and moved to another desired station It ensures that the moving components are released. For this purpose, the manipulator (10) has a moving component on it. a supporting structure on which it is transported, and a mold piece positioned on this structure that grips it and is defined It includes a transport group that allows positioning along the axes. Thus, 20 In the vitrified ceramic production line, the mold part is controlled by the operator but mechanically. It is possible to transport it safely, controllably and repeatably in a supported manner. This is the case. The mold part mentioned here is part of a mold set, other than the other parts in the mold set. When assembled with mold parts, the geometry of the vitrified product to be cast It is a part that forms the negative. Preferably, 25, known in practice as the 5th die part. The understanding of the part is ensured. The manipulator (10) includes a main frame (11). The main frame (11) is the manipulator (10) It serves as the basic supporting body for all elements on it. The main skeleton (11) is at least It includes a main drive wheel (111). The aforementioned main drive wheel (111) is 30 of the main frame. (11) moving in the desired direction on the floor of the facility, in the vicinity of the casting bench. This allows for its implementation. In the preferred configuration, as shown in the figures. in order to achieve more balanced movement and ensure a more balanced load distribution There are multiple main drive wheels (111). 35 A main support group (20) is connected to the main frame (11). The main support group (20) is the formwork. It is the main structure that enables the removal of a mold piece from the workbench. The mold piece The grasping is provided magnetically. Accordingly, the main carrier group (20) has at least one It contains an electromagnetic magnet (24). The mold part of the electromagnetic magnet (24) a metal piece that can interact with a magnet on the mold part so that it can hold It is located on the outer surface of the metal part of the mold and the manipulator (10) It is located in a position suitable for the approach direction. 5 The electromagnetic magnet (24) is mounted on a rotating body (21). The rotating body (21) serves as the main element that enables the change of the angular position of the mold part. It does. A rotating shaft (22) is attached to the rotating body (21). The rotating shaft (22) is connected from a region close to the center of the rotating body (21) and the rotating body 10 (21) controlled around a rotation axis (o) assumed to pass through the center of the shaft It enables the rotation of the shaft (22) by a rotating motor (23). It is driven. When the turning motor (23) is running, it turns the turning shaft (22) and This movement is transferred to the rotating body (21). Thus, this movement of the mold part being transported It is possible to rotate it around the axis of rotation (o). In the preferred configuration, 15 There are multiple electromagnetic magnets (24) on the rotating body (21). This This makes it possible to lift the load more evenly. Electromagnetic magnet (24) can be detached by means of at least one connecting element (241) to the rotating body (21). They are interconnected. This allows for the number and positions of magnets to be adjusted to meet different needs. It can be easily replaced. It is also easy in terms of service and maintenance. 20 This is ensured. The manipulator (10) must have at least one to control the rotational movement of the rotating body (21). It contains the first sensor (30). The first sensor (30) is the angular of the rotating body (21) Its position is monitored, and the obtained angle information is transferred to a processing unit. Processor 25 When the angle value received from the first sensor (30) is 180°, the unit is turned to the rotating motor (23) It gives a stop command and prevents the rotating body (21) from rotating more than 180°. In a possible configuration, there are two primary sensors (30). These two primary sensors The sensor (30) determines the starting and ending positions of the 180° movement of the rotating body (21). It enables the perception of the rotating body (21) in a defined range between 0° and 180° 30 This allows it to work. If a failure occurs in the first sensor (30) or processor unit. In order to prevent the rotational movement from becoming unlimited in this case, the rotating body (21) There is at least one support (70) on which it can lean. Support (70) rotating body (21) exceeding 180° When it reaches an angle, it mechanically stops the body and physically prevents it from rotating further. It prevents this. In addition, at least one mechanical switch is present. Rotary 35 If the fuselage (21) goes beyond the foreseen limit, the rotating fuselage (21) mechanical 6 contact with the switch and the rotating motor (23) is activated by the triggering of the mechanical switch. By cutting off the power, the rotational movement exceeding 180° is stopped. The main carrier group (20) is connected to at least one depth motion bearing (12). Depth motion The bed (12) extends outwards from the workbench along a depth axis (I). The depth axis is 5 (I) is an axis parallel to the floor of the facility where the casting machine is located, and the mold part It is the axis that defines the direction in which the material is pulled out, parallel to the floor and perpendicular to the workbench. Main The carrier group (20) is positioned sliding on this depth movement bed (12). and can move back and forth along the depth axis (I). During operation, the mold part While on the casting bench, the electromagnetic magnet (24) on the metal mold part 10 The magnet is positioned to make contact with the part. After the magnet is energized, the main The carrier group (20) will move backwards away from the workbench along the depth axis (I). The mold piece being pulled and held moves in a linear motion from the other part of the mold. It is separated. Thus, the mold part is removed from the molding machine and the depth After the completion of this linear movement on the axis (I), the rotating body (21) 15 By rotating it around the axis of rotation (o), the mold part will be placed at the appropriate station. It is brought to an angular position. The main carrier group (20) contains at least one second sensor. The second sensor rotates. Follow the position of the body (21), i.e. the main carrier group (20) on the depth axis (I) 20 Accordingly, the second sensor ensures the depth of the rotating body (21). whether it is in a predetermined first reference position on the axis (I) It detects. The processor unit receives position information from the second sensor mentioned above from the first one. When the reference position information does not match the operation of the rotating motor (23) It prevents this. The first reference position mentioned here is 25 when the mold part is rotated. a load rotation selected far enough away from the workbench to prevent it from hitting anything. This is the position. This is when the mold part rotates without completely separating from the workbench along the depth axis (I). This prevents the movement from occurring. Thus, the rotational movement that would result from it... Potential damages and workplace accidents are prevented. The main carrier group (20) contains at least one third sensor. The third sensor also contains: It enables tracking of the position of the rotating body (21) on the depth axis. The third sensor is located at a predetermined second depth axis (I) of the rotating body (21). It detects whether it is in the reference position. The processor unit receives information from the third sensor. When the location information does not match the second reference location information mentioned, rotation 35 This prevents the motor (23) from working. The second reference position is the next mold part. 7 After being left at the station, the rotating body, while performing its rotational motion, avoids any surrounding obstacles. It is a turning point where one is far enough away from an obstacle. The second and third sensors work together to detect the rotational movement only in the mold part. This ensures that it is done when there is sufficient space around it. Accordingly, mold part 5 After being taken, the main carrier group (20) first to the first reference position on the depth axis (I) The rotating body (21) is pulled back until the rotating motor (23) comes to this position It is not being operated. After the mold part is placed at the next station, the main carrier... The group (20) is now brought to the second reference position on the depth axis (I). Third Unless the information from the sensor matches the second reference position, the rotating motor (23) 10 It is not being re-run, so both the first rotation after the mold part is taken and Possible rotation operations after the mold part is dropped, on the molding machine and surrounding area. It is carried out at a sufficient distance from obstacles. Especially with the casting machine and the next one. This is particularly important for areas where the distance between stations is limited. The channel will be located on the main frame (11), next to the casting bench of the main frame (11). or at least one first guide wheel (40) which enables it to be guided by a rail-like structure It is located. The first guide wheel (40) is different from the main drive wheels (111). is located at a height and the main frame (11) is within the said channel or rail It ensures that it moves in a directed manner. The first guide wheel (40) has at least one 20 It is connected to the fixing plate (41). The fixing plate (41) is connected to the main frame (11) It is fixed. The fixing plate (41) is fixed at different heights on the main frame (11). It has a longitudinal fixing channel (42) which allows it to be positioned. After the fixing plate (41) is brought to the desired position along the fixing channel (42) It is fixed by at least one fastening element. Thus, the main frame (11) has 25 different compatible with channel or rail structures that may be located at that height and position It ensures that it can be guided. On the other side of the main frame (11), at least one second guide wheel (40) separate from the first guide wheel. There is a guide wheel (50). The second guide wheel will be located on the casting bench side 30 It is in contact with the guide profile and the main frame (11) can be guided from this side as well. Thus, the main frame (11), the first guide wheel (40) and the channel or rail structure provide. along the second guide wheel (50) and the guide profile on the opposite side. can be advanced and the lateral position of the manipulator (10) between the casting benches It is possible to protect it. 35 8 The manipulator (10) enables the operator to control the main carrier group (20). It includes at least one control unit (60). The control unit (60) is connected to the main carrier group (20) It is connected and moves along the depth axis (I) together with the main carrier group. Control Switching the electromagnet (24) on unit (60) and switching it off To remove the control elements, the rotation direction of the rotating motor (23) is to the right and 5 control elements for selecting left and at least one emergency stop button It is located. Thus, the operator holds the mold part in the depth axis (I) all basic functions during the carrying and rotating movement It can be controlled via the control unit (60).

It ensures that the components are powered, thus enabling uninterrupted operation. is happening. 15 Using the magnetic system in the manipulator (10) for gripping the mold part There is no need to position hangers, hooks, or similar mechanical fasteners appropriately. This is especially true for bulky and complex geometric mold parts. It shortens the gripping time. During magnetic gripping, 20°C is applied to the mold surface. No mechanical compression or pressure is applied, thus preventing unwanted changes on the mold surface. Deformations are reduced. In addition, thanks to the magnetic system, the operator's mold... Direct intervention in the mold is reduced, the operator is positioned further away from the mold. It is possible to operate it, and the transportation process becomes more controlled and repeatable.
