Lance Guard

Test and diagnosis system

Current situation

• Manual inspections are only partially

sufficient and often require a great deal

of effort

• Manual inspections are time-consuming

• Problems and errors can only be

detected during inspections

• It is hard to detect and check slow wear

Our solution

• First fully automatic test & diagnosis

system for liquid iron and steel

measurement systems

• Applicable for all lance types

• Seamless lance test with quality report

• Test procedure can be performed

automatically between blowing phases

or whenever required

• Fast, safe and reliable

Finished before others start

Manual test Lance Guard

40min 2min

•Release maintenance work order

•Await a production interrupt

•Ascent to the platform (~28m)

•Mounting of the test device and starting the measurement cycle

•Contacting the control room and checking if the measurement value is properly transmitted

•Cleaning of the contact block if necessary

•Leave the platform

•Start measuring sequence

•Lance Guard starts without process interruption

•Online connection to verify measurement values

•Automatic cleaning of the contact block if necessary


Lance Guard

Technology

• Fully automatic closed-loop test routine for

all selected physical measurements,

therefore all components of the

measurement system are checked

• Test results will be verified by the Lance

Guard System and checked for violations of

specified limits

• Equipment state is represented by signal

lights (green, yellow and red)

• Immediate feedback to control system

• Optional: Automatic docking procedure of

the lance adapter in combination with

LiquiRob
