Abstract |
|
Automation of industrial processes is very essential to stand them in today’s competitive world. In the current work, a low cost automation system is designed for a manual industrial process. To transport the ladle containing molten metal into the respective molding boxes, an automated ladle transport vehicle is designed. In a preferred embodiment this improved automated ladle transfer vehicle comprises of a car body supported upon a structure frame, a hydraulic tilting mechanism, and the entire assembly is placed on a base frame. The assembly is provided with a wheel track arrangement, to travel from the furnace point up to the molding boxes. In order to balance the centre of mass, an arrangement of up-stop wheels is provided under the rails. The detail of design is described in this paper. |
