A new apparatus for casting dental prosthesis has been proposed, comprising a
ring-placing
section onto which plural rings are to be placed, a crucible holder for holding
plural cylindrical crucibles, a burning unit with a furnace, a casting unit and
a conveyer for conveying the ring or the crucible. The lifting state of the burning
unit includes a base capable of rotating around a substantially horizontal axis,
an orientation-maintaining mechanism for maintaining the base substantially horizontal
and an orientation-changing mechanism for exerting an external force onto the base.
The conveyer performs a position-correcting motion for correcting the position
of the ring by lowering the gripper. The apparatus provides a management code to
each crucible for preventing troubles or delay of work caused by the breaking of
crucibles due to the aging.
