Continuous Casting Protective Slag Adding Robot Application Solution

The Continuous Casting Protective Slag Adding Robot is an advanced automation solution designed to improve the efficiency and safety of the slag adding process in continuous casting operations. By utilizing industrial robots with 6-axis freedom and a quantitative slag adding device, this system ensures that protective slag is evenly distributed onto the crystallizer, optimizing the casting process.

Key Features:

• Industrial Robot Platform: The system utilizes an industrial robot with a 6-axis freedom, offering precise control over the movement of the slag adding device. This platform provides exceptional flexibility and maneuverability, allowing the robot to reach all areas of the crystallizer without any dead zones.
• Quantitative Slag Adding Device: The robot is equipped with a quantitative slag adding device that automatically controls the amount of slag dispensed. This ensures that the correct amount of protective slag is added based on factors such as casting speed and steel grade, contributing to the uniform quality of the cast product.
• Continuous and Precise Slag Distribution: The robot distributes the slag evenly across the surface of the continuous casting crystallizer. This ensures consistent protection of the steel from oxidation and defects during solidification.
• Automatic Control Based on Casting Parameters: The robot is programmed to automatically adjust the slag amount based on the casting speed and steel grade formula, ensuring that the correct slag volume is applied in real-time, maintaining optimal conditions for the casting process.
• Safety and Labor Reduction: By automating the slag adding process, the robot reduces the need for manual labor, which in turn reduces the risk of operator injury. It also minimizes exposure to high-temperature areas, enhancing overall plant safety.
• Six Degrees of Freedom: The robot’s 6-axis freedom allows it to navigate complex paths around the crystallizer, ensuring that no areas are missed during slag application. It provides precise control, even in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.

Key Benefits:

• Improved Quality: Consistent and precise application of protective slag ensures uniform casting quality and reduces defects caused by improper slag distribution.
• Reduced Labor: The robot automates the slag addition process, significantly reducing the need for manual labor and improving productivity.
• Enhanced Safety: The system helps optimize production efficiency by minimizing downtime related to dimensional issues.
• Increased Efficiency: The system operates in sync with casting speeds and steel grades, ensuring optimal slag application, reducing waste, and improving overall efficiency.
• Strong Stability: The robot is designed for reliable, long-term operation, providing high performance with minimal downtime and maintenance.

Applications:

• Steel Mills: Ideal for continuous casting operations where consistent slag application is required for protecting the molten steel during solidification.
• High-Speed Casting Lines: Perfect for high-speed casting environments that require precise control over slag distribution to maintain product quality.
• Automation in Foundries: Useful in any foundry or production line that involves continuous casting processes, ensuring uniform quality and reducing human intervention.
