Robot wire SPRAY for Slabs
This system marks characters on the surface of hot slabs, defined by a bright, white line (“handwritten” type) obtained spraying molten metal by a pistol handled by a six axes robot.
The markings are very well readable, even in presence of irregular surfaces, also from distance. Outdoor storage is possible also for long time. The system assures excellent reliability and close to zero maintenance and operational costs.
