METALLURGICAL INTELLIGENCE FOR STEEL PLANTS
Reduce hazardous manual operations and improve process consistency with integrated robots, machine vision and online measurement systems for steelmaking, continuous casting and steel rolling. DBM designs and manufactures application-specific equipment for measurement, inspection, handling, marking and process automation in demanding metallurgical environments.
DBM is an independent manufacturer of intelligent equipment for steelmaking, continuous casting and steel rolling. We provide robotic systems, machine vision, online measurement and remote-control solutions that help steel plants automate hazardous or repetitive operations. Our engineers evaluate the production process, equipment layout, control interfaces and safety requirements before defining the final system configuration.
Online measurement, sampling, inspection, marking, counting, material handling and selected process-control tasks.
Steel producers, metallurgical EPC contractors, engineering companies and industrial automation integrators.
Where we work Process-before-ironmaking applications, steelmaking, continuous casting and steel rolling.
Send your process description, plant layout, equipment data, target cycle time and project schedule for an application review.
Replace the “human eye”, “human brain”, “human hand” for detection, measurement, analysis, judgment, decision, control, and finally achieve fully automatic and less human intelligent operation.
Automate molten steel temperature measurement and sampling, ladle slag detection, lining thickness measurement and high-temperature visual monitoring for steel ladles, converters and ladle furnaces.
Improve billet process control and quality traceability with surface inspection, automatic casting powder feeding, billet marking, speed and length measurement and mold oscillation monitoring.
Automate rebar counting, separation, diameter measurement, meter-weight testing, tagging, sampling and material handling on bar and wire rod production lines.
DBM combines industrial robots, machine vision, sensors, software and control systems to create equipment packages for demanding production environments.
Use industrial cameras, 3D vision, infrared imaging and AI-assisted analysis for surface inspection, positioning, measurement and defect detection.
Automate high-temperature, repetitive or hazardous tasks with robot-based equipment configured for the plant layout and process cycle.
Measure temperature, speed, length, diameter, weight and other process variables with application-specific online equipment.
Centralize remote crane operation and support safer, more efficient material handling in steel plants.
Ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
On March 31, 2022, DBM and Malaysian customers conducted two-way exchanges and discussions based on the technical issues of steel bar counting and separation system. Our technical engineers have provided technical answers to the steel bar counting system, which has been highly praised by Malaysian customers.
1) The machine starts counting when the rebar is transferred to the third chain and passes through our machine counting area.
2) When the calculated number of bars is close to the target number, the system will send a chain deceleration signal to your PLC, and your PLC will control the third chain deceleration speed.
3) When the calculated number of reinforcing bars reaches the target number, the system will send a stop signal to your PLC, and your PLC will control the third chain to stop.
4) Counted rebar and uncounted rebar will stop at the rebar area, then a rebar line will appear, our machine will split the counted rebar and uncounted rebar.
5) After the steel splitting process, the next cycle will start.
A: The annual production capacity for rolling 12mm rebar in a Chinese steel mill exceeds 1 million tons. Our machines are still running fine.
A: When rolling bars of different diameters, the chain speed is the same, but our technicians will adjust the chain speed of each segment to make the machine match the production perfectly and achieve the best use effect.
That said, the speed of each chain is adjustable, especially for the third and second chain.
(Our machine is mounted on the third chain, this is your workshop site situation)
A: Yes, our machine will send a “chain stop signal” to your PLC and your PLC will control your chain to stop quickly and steadily.
A: Yes, if there are any issues, shut down the machine, then your existing manual counts can be supported. If you have any questions about using the system, please contact us. We will give guidance.
A: Our machines are always upgraded based on user feedback and steel mill developments.
Hardware: light sources, cameras, etc. are constantly being upgraded.
Software side: Our engineers are always optimizing the algorithm. Our software is free to upgrade for our users.
