Abstract：In order to make the shell mold production high-quality and efficiently, improve the working condition for the worker, and manage the manufacture easily; in this article system framework of the intelligent flexible manufacturing production line facing shell mold of Investment Casting is designed. Its implementation contents, key techniques and implementation methods are described. The production line is made based on the center of the flexible robot, integrated key Equipment with sensors including rainfall sanders，slurry tanks, primary/secondary drying lines etc., and measuring and controlling system using the method by PLC、SCADA、host computer and IOT etc. It provides an important reference value and plays an exemplary sole for making new shell production line or reforming old line.
