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:
A device having a pair of hollow, shell-like members pivotally coupled to each other for movement into and out of positions adjacent to each other. When the members are adjacent to each other, they form a hollow space for receiving the cork in the neck of a champagne bottle, the members having flanges for defining an opening for receiving and surrounding the neck and underlying the annular lower extremity of the cork. A pair of resilient tabs are secured to the opposite ends of the members for releasably holding the same in their closed positions. A handle on one of the members is provided to allow for an outward force to be exerted on the members away from the bottle to move the cork out of the bottle when the cork is in the closed space formed by the members. The device can be formed of metal or plastic.
