Abstract:
The operating environment of the continuous casting platform is characterized by high temperature and high risk, where manual operations face prominent problems such as significant safety hazards, low efficiency, and heavy labor intensity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a construction scheme for a robotic intelligent operation system for the continuous casting platform, focusing on the integrated application of industrial robots, machine vision, intelligent control, and other key technologies. The design and development cover the construction of a full-process unmanned operation system, including cylinder disassembly and assembly, long nozzle docking, and tundish temperature measurement and sampling. The research results form a comprehensive unmanned operation solution that embodies the “three replacements”: replacing humans with robots, replacing experience with programs, and replacing discrete operations with intelligent linkage. The feasibility and effectiveness of the system have been verified in terms of intrinsic safety improvement, continuous and efficient operation, and headcount and cost reduction. The system completely liberates operators from high-risk environments, significantly improves operational consistency and resource utilization efficiency, and provides core technical support for the intelligent and green transformation of iron and steel enterprises.
