Automation | Robotics revolutionise rolling mills

The introduction of advanced robotic technology into rolling mills marks a new era in the metals industry.
These technological advances are unleashing their full potential in the demanding area of labelling steel bars at extreme temperatures of 600°C.
 

High-performance robots master extreme conditions
The key innovation is the robots' ability to apply labels accurately and safely at high temperatures.
This is achieved by a process in which the robot takes a label from the printer and applies it to the end of the steel bar using a welding stud. This automation solution not only increases efficiency, but also improves workplace safety by eliminating the need for human interaction in hazardous environments.
 

Integrating expertise and technology
A critical aspect of this process is the precise transfer of the label from the printer to the robot. This is where label handling expertise and advanced robotics come together to ensure seamless and error-free application. This is an interface where technical and practical application skills come together.
 

Quality and precision up to the last step
S+P Samson emphasises that its quality standards can only be met if the label is applied correctly and permanently. This philosophy underlines the importance of reliability and precision in every step of the process.
 

Cooperation between man and machine
The interaction between automation and labelling technology is at the heart of this innovation. Robots and labels work hand in hand to maximise efficiency and safety in rolling mills. This technology represents a significant step towards the future of metal processing, in which advanced robotics will play a central role.
