Introduction to the Intelligent Smelting Robot Feeding System
The Intelligent Smelting Robot Feeding System developed by Guangzhou Xinxi Metallurgical Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. has been successfully put into production at Heyuan Xinlong Industrial Group Co., Ltd., significantly contributing to economic efficiency and signaling a revolution in the automation of the metallurgical industry. This system holds a national invention patent and has been officially launched in the market, garnering favor from numerous steel enterprises across the country.
Product Positioning
China's current steel production capacity has reached one billion tons, with thousands of induction melting furnaces installed. However, the majority of enterprises still rely on manual operation for feeding materials before the furnace, resulting in harsh working conditions, high labor intensity, significant safety hazards, and escalating labor costs. There is an urgent need for a completely new automated device to replace this role. Our Intelligent Smelting Robot Feeding System has been developed precisely in response to this demand.
Product Features and Advantages
The Intelligent Smelting Robot Feeding System is a large-scale automated device and collaborative system for steelmaking production. It comprises an automatically adjustable-speed conveyor, a high-load weighing system, intelligent track AGV feeding vehicles, intelligent feeding robots, an alloy intelligent feeding and steelmaking furnace composition detection system, and a metallurgical-specific data collection and monitoring information system.
The automatic adjustable-speed conveyor and high-load weighing system are used for remote timely transportation, precise sorting and tracking, as well as automatic weighing and weight collection of raw materials. In conjunction with the MES system's scheduling control, the production rhythm can be adjusted, reducing dependency on transport vehicles and improving the efficiency of the melting furnace, thereby achieving fully automated transportation of smelting materials and reducing costs while increasing efficiency.
The intelligent track AGV feeding vehicle is utilized for the rapid and timely handling and on-demand scheduling of large-tonnage raw materials at the furnace front. The track vehicle employs trajectory calculation and obstacle avoidance sensing technology to achieve fully automatic driving, ensuring safety and reliability. Coupled with the MES system, it controls the allocation of materials based on furnace conditions and production capacity, resulting in energy-saving and efficient operations.
The intelligent feeding robot utilizes high-precision displacement sensors and proportional hydraulic systems to achieve smooth movement of high-load machinery, accurately and quickly adding large-tonnage raw materials to the melting furnace. This avoids the need for operators to work in close proximity to high-temperature, dusty environments, mitigating the risk of thermal radiation. It also effectively prevents splashing of molten steel, thus reducing production risks in hazardous environments and ensuring personnel safety. Additionally, it compresses scrap steel floating on the surface of the molten steel, significantly increasing the strength of the electromagnetic induction effect, effectively shortening the smelting cycle, and protecting the furnace lining refractory materials from being scratched by scrap steel, thereby extending the furnace's service life.
The alloy intelligent feeding and steelmaking furnace composition detection system adopts an innovative automatic feeding mode, where the alloy feeding robot precisely deposits alloys from a specified position using a pre-set amount. It also integrates multi-dimensional data collected from spectrometers and monitoring systems, calculating the required alloy quantities through patented algorithms. This mode can significantly reduce the frequency of feeding, lower losses, improve quality benefits, and effectively reduce workers' safety risks in high-hazard environments.
The metallurgical-specific data collection and monitoring information system is used for complex data collection, analysis, coordination, and production scheduling, ensuring the constant temperature of the furnace. It includes raw material information tracing, utilization analysis, and production reporting, which help improve the reliability and safety of production activities. Moreover, it reduces labor costs, optimizes production processes, and increases efficiency, creating greater economic benefits for enterprises. Additionally, it can be integrated into the factory's MES system, achieving seamless connection with existing production management systems and enabling worry-free switching between manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic operations, thus realizing true informatization of industrial production and intelligent management of automated equipment.
Reducing Production Costs
Labor Cost Savings: The traditional feeding method requires ten furnace-side operators for every two furnaces, whereas the Intelligent Smelting Feeding Robot reduces this number to just three, achieving a 70% reduction in labor costs.
Time Efficiency: The traditional method requires approximately 120 minutes to smelt a batch of molten steel, while the Intelligent Smelting Robot can complete the process in about 90 minutes, reducing smelting time by 25%.
Energy Savings: The traditional method consumes approximately 550 kWh of electricity per ton of steel, while this system only requires about 470 kWh per ton, resulting in a 15% reduction in electricity consumption.
The Intelligent Smelting Robot Feeding System, developed independently by Xinxi Technology, represents a significant contribution to the metallurgical industry and is a groundbreaking product.
