Rotary casting system for pressurized casting machines

Apparatus for making a cast article includes a rotary table with a drive for indexing the rotary table to a plurality of rotational positions. A molten metal supply apparatus is placed at a first fixed location adjacent to said rotary table. A plurality of casting machines are supported at predetermined spacings on the rotary table, each respective casting machine having a respective holding furnace feeding a respective stalk tube and having a molten metal inlet port for receiving molten metal from the molten metal supply apparatus when the respective casting machine is indexed to a fill position adjacent the first fixed location. Each respective casting machine is adapted to receive one or more molds and has an open mold configuration and a closed mold configuration. A cast article removal apparatus is placed at a second fixed location adjacent the rotary table for removing the cast article from a respective casting machine when the respective casting machine is at an unload position adjacent the second fixed location and is in the open mold configuration.
