Robotic complex for automatic marking of hot-rolled coils based on two industrial manipulators
ABOUT THE ROBOTIC CELL
The automatic marking system consists of two industrial manipulators (the first is equipped with a dot-matrix paint marking machine, the second with a set of welding equipment for spot welding). It is a high-tech industrial solution designed for efficient and high-quality identification marking of hot-rolled steel coils. It is used in hot rolling mills to automate laborious and hazardous operations, ensuring high productivity and product preservation.
Marking application
When the coil stops in the working zone of the first robotic cell, the marking program is triggered using a dot-matrix paint marking machine mounted on the manipulator.
Self-cleaning
After the paint marking is applied, the coil moves further along the conveyor, and the manipulator moves to a mechanical nozzle cleaning system for the marking machine.
Tag creation
A tag with a machine-readable code is printed on a laser printer.
Tag welding
When the coil stops in the working zone of the second robotic cell, the industrial manipulator uses a vacuum gripper to move the tag to the coil and weld it using spot welding.
Technical specifications
Operating mode: 24/7
Protection: protective covers for axes 4, 5, and 6 of the manipulators
Automation: full operation with the shop's process control system (ACS)
