Application of Automatic Laser Marking and Welding Robot in Billet Continuous Caster
Intelligent manufacturing as well as unmanned site is the development direc-tion of industrial intelligence upgrading in the iron and steel industry.A special steel com-pany newly built the billet continuous caster,in order to realize product quality abnormali-ties can be traced,the full-process logistics information tracking such as high-temperature slab entering the delayed cooling pit or heating furnace was realized.Automatic QR code la-ser marking and welding robot was applied,which uses laser to engrave metal identification plate.The production system casting information was printed as QR code labels,industrial robots weld the signs at the end of the high-temperature continuous casting billet instead of manual writing number,which has high reliability,short action cycle,and it is the first do-mestic application of this kind of laser marking and welding robot in the billet continuous caster.It realizes the logistics informatization,automation,and unmanned operation of hot casting billet marking.
