摘要:
A continuous casting installation is equipped with at least one robot for carrying out process-controlled or automated interventions on the continuous casting installation and accessing the assigned auxiliary devices. To ensure optimum use of the robot(s), the continuous casting installation is assigned a runway, the robot is assigned a travelling mechanism and the travelling mechanism is displaceably guided on the runway, at least one parking position and at least two operating positions are defined for the robot on the runway and each operating position is assigned working areas on the continuous casting installation that can only be reached from this operating position, the distance between each operating position of the robot and the assigned operating area or supply area is fixed within the minimum and maximum range of the robot arm and the robot is equipped with a data transmitting and receiving device and the latter is connected by signalling technology to a central control device or a process computer of the continuous casting installation. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for operating a continuous casting installation including at least one robot which can be displaced on a runway between a parking position and at least two operating positions.
