A precise and flexible solution at the forefront of technology, with all the flexibility and the movement of an anthropomorphic robot, adding the 7th axis for the movement of the ladle cup.

The seventh axis allows:

• An interpolation of the trajectory to keep constant the position of the ladle cup tip versus the shot sleeve
• An easier entrance and movement of the ladle cup into the shot end adjusting block
• An optimal metal draw from the furnace

The robot allows regular movements and additional operations such as:

• To a blowing/cleaning device for the ladle cup
• To change the gripper in case of different castings and metal quantity
