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.
摘要:
In order to be able to carry out a multiplicity of continuosly recurring activities at a continuous casting plant having at least one multifunction robot for implementing a plurality of different process-controlled or automated interventions at the continuous casting plant, at least one working region at the continuous casting plant and at least one multifunction robot assigned to each working region. The multifunction robot is arranged on a pivotable arm at a rotary column fastened to the pouring platform of the continuous casting plant and the robot can be pivoted with the pivot arm between a retraction position and a working position. The robot is also movable with respect to its arm.
