Roller-replacement robot deployed at a POSCO site, replacement time 2 minutes 30 seconds
The Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence (KIRO) and POSCO unveiled a roller-replacement robot at a steel mill site. The robot detects malfunctions by sound and replaces rollers while keeping the conveyor running, and the research team leader said the replacement time was 2 minutes 30 seconds.
The Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence (KIRO) and POSCO unveiled a roller-replacement robot at a steel mill site. The key point is that it reduces on-site working time.
The unveiling event was held on 11 at a briefing session at the Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence site in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. The demonstration introduced the robot in actual operation.
Lee Jae-yeol, head of the research team at the Korea Institute of Robotics and Technology Convergence, said it takes about 2 minutes 30 seconds to replace a roller with the robot. According to the explanation, replacement is possible while the conveyor belt is running.
Previously, workers 8were deployed and worked for approximately 30minutes, the head of the research team said. The comparison data presented that day showed the difference in time between human labor and the robot demonstration.
The Korea Institute of Robot and Convergence Research said it had established the Robot Joint Research Center with POSCO. The center's purpose is to ensure worker safety at steel mill sites and develop related robots.
The robots demonstrated were equipped with a function that detects roller malfunctions by sound. It was explained that they perform replacement work immediately upon detection.
The Korea Institute of Robot and Convergence Research said it continues to develop related robots. The joint research with POSCO is being carried out with the aim of improving on-site safety and applying automation.
