Abstract
In this paper, the power assisted wire suspension system which supports the setting of a mold is presented. The purpose of this system is to eliminate the engineer's burden and to support the operation for beginners. This system measures the swing angle of the rope and the .uctuation of the mold's weight caused by the operator's force, and it moves the AC servo motors of both the horizontal and vertical axes in accordance with the detected swing angle and force respectively. The e.ectiveness of this power assisted system is con.rmed by experiments for mold setting.
