Teaching storage means stores teaching data created on the basis of signals from a first pulse generator, a first shaft detector, a second pulse generator, and a second shaft detector, in a storage unit as a sequence control program of molding operation of a self-hardening mold when teaching operation of throwing kneaded self-hardening foundry sand from a discharge port into a molding flask is performed by manually moving a conveyor arm and a kneading arm. Molding playback means reads out the sequence control program from the storage unit to control and drive a first pivot motor and a second pivot motor on the basis of the sequence control program to pivot the conveyor arm and the kneading arm, and then throws the self-hardening foundry sand from the discharge port of the kneading arm into the molding flask to reproduce the molding operation.

A casting mould for producing a casting formed from a light metal alloy, in particular a housing for an electric drive for a motor vehicle. The casting mould advantageously has at least one sand core which is designed and arranged in the casting mould in such a way that the at least at least one sand core can be completely surrounded, at least in sections, in a circumferential direction by a light metal melt with which the casting mould is filled to form the casting. It is advantageous to be able to produce a casting in which, for example, a cooling channel is incorporated. It is not necessary to drill a hole to form a channel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a casting made of a light metal alloy, in particular a housing for an electric drive for a motor vehicle.
