SUMMARY:Digital caster: On the way to a fully automated continuous caster
DESCRIPTION:"The entire steel industry is going through the irreversible process of digital transformation and increasing plant automation to meet the requirements in terms of productivity, safety, quality as well as increased flexibility in production. A digital caster has many challenges and sub-tasks that must be achieved along the way to end up with a fully digitalized plant operation.
The fully integrated casting platform with automatic controlled sequence operations starting from connecting the ladle on the turret to fully automatic tundish operation and start cast by means of robots and highly integrated automations systems limits the need of operator interventions to an absolute minimum. Thus, not only results in a reproduceable high quality caster operation but also increase operator and machine safety.
One crucial aspect is controlling the casting speed of the plant by an advanced expert system right from start cast until the last slab has been cut. All influencing factors such as optimal soft reduction, the casting practice or machine restrictions are brought together to calculate an optimal casting speed throughout the entire casting process.
The paper gives an overview about a digital caster and outlines the latest innovations in continuous casting automation on the way to a fully automated caster. "
