Summary: | Breithaupt et al discuss Badische Stahlwerke's SandMan, a sanding manipulator for automated ladle sand filling. The SandMan allows installation in the smallest spaces, fast and accurate dosage of sand, visual tracking of the filling process and measurement of the ladle bottom temperature. The automatic sequence starts after the ladle is in position. The operator only has to make the final adjustment via the camera image. The cycle time of the filling process is one minute. Before and after filling a picture is taken and documented for tracking purposes. The maintenance parts are all quickly accessible. |
