Handling ceramic pipes in high-temperature areas

Task

Loading a blast furnace and stacking ceramic pipes along a travel length of approx. 23 m.
Workpiece weight approx. 70 kg
Workpiece dimensions approx. Ø 250 x 1800 mm

Solution

Trackmotion TM 90 linear travel axis with KUKA KR 360 robot, ground-mounted for floor travel

Scope of supply

Trackmotion TM 90, ground-mounted for floor travel

Result

Portal technology was not possible in this case, as the shop is filled with machines and belts and the overhead clearance is very limited.
The blast furnace could therefore only be loaded “from below”.
