Robotized Cleaning of Anode Butts

Norda Stelo was given the task of developing and designing an automated system for cleaning anode butts in an aluminum smelter. To achieve this, a cell equipped with two robots positioned on either side of the anode to be cleaned was created. The robots are equipped with an arm fitted with a chain flail that can loosen the deposits by mechanical action. The cell developed is suitable for restricted workspaces and allows movement and cleaning cycles adapted to the configuration of the deposits on the anode, using specific routes.
