Automatic Coil Transportation System in the Packing-Storage-Ship Route

Shinji Nanba, Toshikazu Yamashita, Norio Toriya
Synopsis :
Automatic coil transportation system from the packing line in the cold rolling plant to loading a ship through the warehouse was developed in August 1992 at Mizushima Works of Kawasaki Steel. Simultaneous operations of coil transportation, crane handling in the warehouse and coil shipment became possible. In this system, new equipment for loading a coil to ship has been developed, where vehicles substitute the function of the crane in terms of traveling and lifting motions. Also it can adjust the coil setting position in 3 choices of loading: inside or outside of ship, or even at a shelter, depending on the height of tide and weather condition. Introducing this system has improved capacity of the warehouse and shipment about 1.5 to 2.0 times larger than before this operation.
