Handling ceramic pipes in high-temperature environments

Task

Loading a blast furnace and stacking ceramic pipes over a travel distance of approx. 20 m. The extremely tight space does not permit a solution with a floor-based travel axis, which was possible with the two previously supplied sister systems.
Workpiece weight approx. 70 kg
Workpiece dimensions approx. Ø 250 x 1800 mm

Solution

TM 72 Trackmotion with KUKA KR 150L-150-2 robot suspended under a steel frame.

Scope of supply

TM 72 TrackmotionTM 72 special, suspended version for special steel frame.

Result

The suspended travel axis and the extreme flexibility of the robotic arm ensure optimal utilization of the available space.
