Raw Environment: Foundry crane control |
|
 |
The task:
Control of a 60 tonne foundry crane as it drains liquid metal into the cast iron moulds. Metal which drains out next to the mould must first solidify and cool down before it can be removed and recycled using cutting torches. The ambient temperature is 450 degrees Celsius.
The benefits:
-
Lengthy stoppages and waiting periods are avoided
|
Employed components:
-
Smart Camera PICTOR®
- Extremely durable constructed housing, water cooled
- Entocentric VCL-industrial objective
- Due to the high amount of IR radiation emitted from the liquid metal, this application does not need require any separate lighting.
