Fixed Installed Robotic for Gunning and Fettling
Laser Contouring System (LCS) for High Temperature Laser Refractory Thickness Measurement
The LCS uses a suite of sensors capable of measuring the remaining lining thickness in vessels used to produce and refine molten metal. Whether you are making steel, copper or aluminum, we have a mobile or fixed position system that can provide the critical lining thickness information you need to maximize vessel up-time and minimize operational cost.
All systems provide the following measurement information in simple, easy to read formats:
- Refractory thickness in 2-D or 3-D format
- Tabular output with auto-transfer to plant Level II system
- Refractory wear rate and lifetime prediction capability
- Optional surface temperature measurement using integrated two-color pyrometer
- Small (3.6mm) beam diameter
- High accuracy (±1.8mm 1σ) scanning
- Fast – 120,000 Hz scan rate
- New crack detection algorithm measures width and depth of refractory cracks
- Bath Level measurement
Vesuvius Advanced Robotic Gunning (VARG)
The next generation package for laser-guided automated refractory gunning for BOFs, EAFs and Ladles
VARG (Vesuvius Advanced Robotic Gunning) is a cutting-edge solution designed for the maintenance of Basic Oxygen Furnaces (BOFs), Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), and Ladles in the steelmaking industry. Repairing these furnaces is often time-consuming and hazardous, exposing repair teams to high heat loads and disrupting steel production schedules. To address these challenges, VARG combines state-of-the-art robotic gunning technology with the advanced Laser Contouring System ANTERIS 360. This innovative system optimizes repair parameters, ensuring accurate and repeatable repairs while minimizing downtime. Key benefits of VARG include improved safety by removing personnel from hazardous environments, enhanced repair efficiency, and greater control over the repair schedule. Additionally, it reduces waste through precise material application onto the walls.
