Identify the material
Scan the pickup area and determine the grab target.
STEEL & METALLURGY / LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Unmanned Rotary Hearth Furnace Grab Solution
Frequent material handling at a rotary hearth furnace exposes operators to dust and requires accurate repeat positions.
Henan Mine Crane equipment for Baowu Shaogang rotary-hearth furnace
THE LIFTING SOLUTION
Automate grab movements in a dusty steelmaking process.
Frequent material handling at a rotary hearth furnace exposes operators to dust and requires accurate repeat positions.
Build the grab crane into the process automation sequence. Use 3D scanning, load recognition, route planning and obstacle avoidance for pickup and discharge, with remote supervision and a safe recovery mode.
HANDLING SEQUENCE
How the solution works.
Follow the load through the operation to see where lifting equipment, tooling and controls must work together.
Move without a cab operator
Travel to the selected destination while checking obstacles and position.
Release and repeat
Confirm discharge and record the completed cycle before the next task.
ENGINEERING DECISIONS
What determines the final configuration?
These choices affect safety, process fit and the operating life of the installation.
Repeatability target
Test positioning using the actual material and route, not an empty-crane trial alone.
Remote supervision
Keep operator controls and maintenance access outside the dusty work zone.

PROJECT 01
Baowu Shaogang rotary-hearth furnace
Two unmanned grab cranes were supplied for a 250,000-ton rotary-hearth-furnace project, with 3D scanning, repeat positioning within 5 mm and remote operator control.
RELEVANT EQUIPMENT
Equipment options for this solution.
These product families support the handling tasks above. The final crane and attachment are selected from the site brief.
SPECIFICATION BRIEF
What we need to size your crane.
Send the operating brief and the relevant layout drawings. The resulting proposal can address capacity, geometry, duty, controls, installation interface and safety requirements as one system.
