LiquiRob robotics system from Primetals Technologies developed for a brand-new technique towards safe and effective shroud adjustment
Advanced 3D video camera system makes sure specific placing
Enhanced occupational health for operators

Thai steel manufacturerSiam Yamato Steelhas actually understood a brand-new robotic principle from Primetals Technologies, consisting of LiquiRob, at its steel plant in Map Ta Phut. The service is utilized for shroud adjustment at Siam Yamato Steels blossom caster. Referrals from current robotics system jobs and the tailormade technological option were amongst the definitive elements affecting Siam Yamato Steels option of provider.
Thanks to the robotics option, security and occupational health have actually enhanced substantially at the steel plant. Employees running the shroud by hand formerly needed to stand best beside the tundish and the circulation of liquid steel originating from the ladle. In addition, in case of a so-called frozen ladle i.e. an undesirable solidification of liquid steel in the ladle, operators needed to enter even closer distance of the ladle slide gate to by hand carry out oxygen lancing.

Carrying out unsafe jobs

Established by Primetals Technologies, the brand-new principle includes a basic ladle shroud manipulator geared up with a mechanical user interface customized to Siam Yamato Steels requires. The robotic connects to the user interface to assist the shroud in the best position and connect it to the ladle. Primetals Technologies position measurement system, including a 3D video camera system, identifies the right position of both the ladle and the shroud manipulator. The LiquiRob robotics system carries out numerous hazardous jobs, consisting of oxygen lancing, tundish measurements, tundish tasting, and tundish powder feeding.

Increased security for operators

Primetals Technologies has actually likewise designed and carried out an extensive security principle as part of the LiquiRob robotics option at Siam Yamato Steel. A fence that confines the location near the robotic in addition to doors with automated security locks guarantee that the environments are protected before the LiquiRob robotic system begins operating, raising occupational security at the plant.
Primetals Technologies scope of supply made up a LiquiRob robotics system, a tailormade shroud manipulator, a cam system, electronic devices and automation devices for automated operation, and a pneumatic cubicle.

Satisfying domestic requirements

Developed in 1992, Siam Yamato Steel produces hot-rolled structural steel. It runs 2 plants in the commercial estate of Map Ta Phut with an overall yearly production capability of 1.1 million lots of steel. The domestic requirement for heavy area steel is practically completely fulfilled by the production output of Siam Yamato Steel, the business for that reason makes a considerable contribution to Thailands economy.
LiquiRob is a signed up hallmark of Primetals Technologies in specific nations.
