Abstract

See full text

In the smelting process, the electric furnace is intended to treat the slag from other furnaces. The slag loading of the electric furnace is carried out using a ladle which cools down after unloading the slag which is adhered to the ladle making it difficult to reload the furnace. For this reason, the ladle must be cleaned on a regular basis. Due to the above, a robot system and method have been developed to clean the electric furnace ladle, which is capable of carrying out such activity automatically through the use of a robotic manipulator. The robotic system is composed mainly of an anthropomorphous robotic manipulator of at least 6 degrees of freedom (1), and one cleaning tool (2) which allows to clean the ladle (3) each time the furnace is loaded (4).
