Application of RGV in the Control Scenario of Iron Melting Furnace in Foundry
Customer Pain Points:
A foundry faces multiple challenges in the control of its iron melting furnaces:
1.1,500°C high-temperature environment, posing extremely high safety risks;
2.Material transportation relies on diesel, generates exhaust pollution andcannot meet 24-hour continuous operation;
3.The large elevation difference between iron melting furnace stations makes it difficult to achieve precise docking and height adjustment.
Solution:
To address the above needs, we introduce this customized 10 ton low voltage rail powered RGV.
The equipment measures 4000×4000×5000mm and adopts a spliced cast steel frame with a three-layer structure precisely adapted to the scenario:
Bottom-layer rail transfer cart: Powered by low voltage rails + carbon brushes and conductive columns, it breaks through the length limitations of traditional cables, supporting unlimited-distance, 24-hour continuous operation;
Middle-layer customized iron frame: Integrated with guardrails + ladders, it raises the operation height to 2.5 meters, keeping operators away from the heat of the molten pool;
A 360° rotating turntable connects the upper-layer workpiece, allowing high-temperature auxiliary devices to flexibly adjust their direction and accurately align with furnace openings at different angles.
Upper-layer high-temperature workpiece: Realizes workpiece lifting and front-back translation through a hydraulic lifting rod + drag chain system;
With a laser dead man stop safety device, it maintains a docking accuracy of ±2mm within 4 meters of the furnace body;A three-color warning light provides real-time feedback on operating status to avoid misoperations.
Application Value:
Safety Upgrade: Operators no longer need to enter high-temperature areas and can remotely control the equipment via wireless remote control.
Efficiency Improvement: Hydraulic lifting and rotating turntables enable fast switching between multiple stations. Single-operation time is shortened from 45 minutes to 15 minutes, increasing production capacity by 200%;
Flexible Expansion: The modular spliced frame supports tabletop expansion, making it future-compatible with more types of high-temperature workpieces and helping foundries transform toward intelligent and green production.
With its characteristics of "high-temperature resistance, heavy load capacity, and precise docking," this RGV has become a benchmark equipment for high-temperature scenarios in the foundry industry, providing a replicable solution for improving safety and efficiency in traditional industries.
