Synopsis : An automatic remote operational system of stackers and reclaimers for iron ores and coal was developed to improve working environment and save manpower at the West Plant of Chiba Works, Kawasaki Steel Corporation. Since 1978, a reclaimer landing and bench changing operation has been conducted at Chiba Works through the ITV remote control system. In addition to this, an automatic landing and bench changing system has been successfully developed in May 1984 and put into a practical usage for the first time in Japan. The system comprises a microcomputer and travelling laser sensors. An anti-collision system is also installed and is composed of several collision detecting sensors. By development of the complete automatic landing system, it has been confirmed that a better operation efficiency, improved working environment, a better total yard controlling operation and an efficient quality control of materials at the yard are obtainable. |
