AUTOMATION CONCEPT FOR A METALLURGICAL PLANT OR ROLLING MILL

摘要

The invention relates to a device in a metallurgical plant and/or rolling mill, comprising a robot (1, R7) having a robot controller with operating types and operating modes which influence an associated man-robot interface and are designed to be or are adapted to different automation degrees of the robot (1, R7). A solution is to be created, which allows a flexible adaption of a robot or robot system to different degrees of a man-robot interaction and a flexible use of a robot within the scope of work activities and work processes of a large-scale plant, particularly a metallurgical plant. This is achieved by a device of a metallurgical plant and/or rolling mill, comprising a robot (1, R7) having a robot control with operating types and operating modes which influence an associated man-robot interface and are adapted and/or are designed to be adapted to different automation degrees of the robot (1, R7) and/or to different temporal and/or local positions of the interaction partners, these being man and the robot, in a work space, wherein the robot (1, R7), particularly industrial robot, is associated with at least one protective region which is detected by detection elements interacting with the robot (1, R7), particularly industrial robot, and which in regard to the extension and functionality thereof is designed in a varying and/or variable way relating to the robot activity and/or robot working position and wherein the robot (1, R7), particularly industrial robot, is arranged on or at a displacement unit (72) that can be displaced on a path (70).
