BAO Robot is the abbreviation of China Baowu Robot. Chen Derong, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of the board of directors of China Baowu, proposed to improve the income of employees, reduce their workload and let them enjoy a better life with "three", which should not remain in words. So China Baowu put forward the "Ten Thousand Baoluo" plan, which set off a wave of large-scale application of robots. Among them, Chongqing Iron and Steel No.6 continuous casting machine has successfully put into use the whole process intelligent robots and welcomed five "Baolu" employees: continuous casting machine slide cylinder replacement robot, continuous casting machine covering agent sorting robot, multi-functional intelligent steel pouring robot and two cast billet automatic printing robots.
　　
The traditional steelmaking continuous casting production line, the harsh operating environment, high temperature, thermal radiation, steel splashes, high temperature fumes, equipment layout, such as high and low staggered, the physical and mental health of front-line employees, safety operations, etc., and now, with the "Bao Luo" employees on board to replace manual operations, Chongqing Iron and Steel increased to accelerate the intelligent, unmanned project to promote Chongqing Iron and Steel has accelerated the promotion of intelligent and unmanned projects, focusing on cracking the shortcomings in the improvement of 3D positions and labor efficiency.
　　
The 5 intelligent robots of the whole process, through a large number of intelligent sensing equipment and systems on site, combined with the continuous casting production process, real-time monitoring of system operation status, and automatically complete the production operations, to achieve operational visualization; liberate the disassembly and installation of large ladle slide oil cylinder, change the long water spout, temperature measurement, sampling and other high-risk operations, reducing the reliance on operators in the production process, to achieve the production site unmanned and zero safety risk It also realizes the standardized quality management of continuous casting process, eliminates the uncertainty of human influence in the production process to the greatest extent, improves the stability of production, and realizes the standardization of operation.
　　
Continuous casting machine sliding plate cylinder replacement robot
　　
Adopting the domestic advanced laser 3D vision technology, it locks the spatial position of the large ladle sliding plate cylinder in real time and automatically completes the work of grabbing and disassembling the sliding plate cylinder of the continuous casting machine, which completely changes the status quo of manual operation such as replacing the sliding plate cylinder of the continuous casting machine and pulling and inserting the medium pipe.

Continuous Casting Machine Covering Agent Sorting Robot
　　
Captures the position of automatic mulch packets and automatically completes the transfer of mulch packets from the silo to the hopper using a gripping tool hand, fully automatic sorting and transfer function, freeing up field labor.

Multi-functional intelligent steel pouring robot​​​​​​​
　　
It adopts the domestic leading integrated multi-functional intelligent steel pouring solution, which automatically identifies the location of key operation points of the ladle through 3D laser positioning technology, combined with robot trajectory processing software and recognition algorithm, and realizes 5 functions of continuous casting machine, such as automatically adding covering agent, disassembling/reassembling the long spout of the ladle, automatically completing the cleaning of the bowl of the long spout, automatically adding the seal ring of the long spout, and automatically measuring temperature and sampling the steel water of the intermediate ladle. It realizes the intelligence of steel pouring platform.

Automatic billet printing robot​​​​​​​
　　
Using the measuring probe on the arm of the industrial robot to complete the detection and positioning of the continuous casting billet, automatically complete the cleaning of the cross section of the continuous casting billet oxidation slag, and then spray the product identity mark on the side of the continuous casting billet with the spray gun on the arm, the operation is efficient and fast.

This investment in advanced robot technology has significantly improved the automation level of the continuous casting platform, ensured that the operators are far away from the dangerous area of high temperature liquid metal, greatly reduced the safety risk, ensured the safe and reliable operation of the continuous casting machine and steadily improved the quality of cast billets, and laid a solid support and guarantee for the stable production and high quality development of Chongqing Iron and Steel's intelligent manufacturing.
