MARKING MACHINES, CASTING
Metal Powder Marking Machine
The Metal Powder Marking Machine is designed for marking of slabs
and blooms. Marking is performed by blowing metal powder through
a gas flame for melting it to the surface of the product. Metal Powder
Marking Machines are distinguished especially by marking long-lasting,
clear and bright characters, which can vary in size and number of lines
depending on individual customer requirements
• Floor and bridge type
• Temperature range from 400 to 1100°C
• Alphanumeric and special characters, size from 40 to 150 mm
• Extendable with automatic reading system
6
TAGGING & LABELING
Tag Marking Machine
The Tag Marking Machine is designed for the marking of slabs, blooms
and billets. Marking is performed by nailing the tag direct on the
product. Auto Tagging System can be designed as robot or bridge type
according to local situation and customer requirements.
• Process time reduction because of direct application at the high
temperature up to 1200°C
• Wide variety of tag sizes
• Eliminated all kinds of identity losses and avoid the risk of mis-
match during product identification
• On-Site Printing Thermal Transfer Printer; any format and code can
be printed (barcode, QR code, Data Matrix…)
• Suitable Weather Resistance and for even poor surfaces
• Extendable with automatic reading system

DEBURRER
Slab/Bloom/Billet Deburrer
The in-line rotary hammer type deburring machine is designed for
removing burrs from continuous casting products (slabs, blooms &
billets) caused by torch cutting. The deburring process is executed
during transportation on roller table without stopping the product. The
in-line removal of burrs is carried out by a series of hammers which
hanging loosely on axles positioned around the deburrer roll. Due to the
roll speed and the mass of the hammers they hit the burrs several times
at high speed before the burr is removed from the product and guided
via chutes into a burr removal system.
• Product speed up to 40m/min
• Temperature range up to 1000°C
• Significant quality improvement of rolled products (no roll-in of
burrs)
SHROUD MANIPULATOR
Shroud Manipulator
The Shroud Manipulator enables the user to get a straight connection
between the ladle slide gate and tundish. It is designed for moving
the ladle shrouds from the storage, cleaning or heating position to the
connection point at ladle gate and versa. During casting process the
Shroud Manipulator retains the shroud with a constant press-on force
at the connection point of the ladle.
• Manual, semi-automatic or automatic types available
• Press on force (adjustable): up to 10 kN
• Operation from a safety distance - improve operator safety
POWDER FEEDER

INSPECTION MACHINES
Stamp Readers
The task is the automatic reading of stamped codes as well as of
brandings on the rail. The stampings and brandings are located on the
web of the rail. The codes are captured by cameras and evaluated with
a well-established algorithm.
• up to 2.0 m/s line speed
• for cold products
• alphanumeric plain text according to rail standards
• allows ±30mm horizontal and vertical misalignment
Brushing Machines
A brushing machine is used for the efficient removal of loose scale in
order to improve the surface quality as well as for the surface preparation
prior to the entry into the non-destructive testing line. The special
movement of brushes results in an improved brushing performance and
in a reduction in the wear of the used brushes.
• up to 2.0 m/s line speed
• for cold products
• frequency-controlled brush motors
• for loose scale and dry contamination

INSPECTION MACHINES
Security Gate
For reasons of safety, the installation of a height and width measurement
station is recommended. This station consists of a basis frame on which
two infra-red light grids, one horizontal and one vertical, are installed-on.
By means of this arrangement, which works with an accuracy of +/- 5
mm, a roller table stop can be generated, in case a rail profile enters the
system which exceeds in dimension the profile which is intended to be
the next to enter.
• accuracy ±5mm
• for cold products
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultra-Sonic testing is used for online detection of internal imperfections
such as laminar defects, inclusions, tension cracks in rails and other
rolled materials. The system is available as water-jet coupling and/or
water-gap coupling solution. The machine provides a fully equipped
evaluation system operating in multiplex mode for sections to be tested
with a pre-adjusted threshold determining the flaw size.
• up to 1.5 m/s
• for cold products
• automatic adjustment at product change on request
• closed water cycle
• detection of defects according to rail standards
12
INSPECTION MACHINES
Transport and Guidance Units
For the transport and guidance of the rails within the area of the testing
line, 8 transport and guidance units are foreseen, which are installed
between the different testing devices. These devices also serve for fixing
the position of the rails, passing through in order to avoid undesired
transverse movements of the rails.
• up to 2.0 m/s
• for cold products
Barcode Applicators
The Bar Code Applicator is directly installed in the testing line. The rail
ID as well as other data are transmitted to the system whether from the
central computer system or directly from the mill computer system. This
information is transformed to a bar code, printed and applied to the rail
which passes the system with a speed of up to 2 m/sec.
• up to 2.0 m/s
• for cold products
Demagnetisation Unit
To ensure a good result at the Eddy-Current Testing Machine, the use
of a demagnetization unit is recommended, in case that the tested rails
are handled by a magnetic crane before they enter the testing line area.
Frame mounted demagnetising tunnels are principally used for continu-
ous processing to enable the continual automatic throughput of long
products. Demagnetising tunnels are available in a range of capacities,
depending on the dimensions and shape of the product to be demag-
netised. The tunnels are designed according to customer‘s specific
needs and requirements.
• residual magnetism < 10 Gauss, depending on line speed
• for cold products

TORCH CUTTING MACHINES - FLAT PRODUCTS
SVE - Slab Vertical lowering Electric type
The machine is combining two mechanical movements driven by a
strong electromechanical drive which supports the torch beam and the
below water plate with the synchronization skid. By lowering, the skid
is going down until the slab surface stops the movement. At the same
time the torch beam is going down uprightly by means of a vertical
raceway keeping the torches vertical regardless of the thickness of the
slab. With this mechanical system, there is no need for a torch height
equipment system with all components like motors, end switches etc.
14
TORCH CUTTING MACHINES - FLAT PRODUCTS
Secondary Torch Cutting Machines for slab subdividing
For subdividing mother slabs in shorter daughter slabs of preselected
length Gega developed the Secondary TCM facility including two
movable portals (machine type: PMB – Portal Movable Beam) - built-
up transversal to the roller table. For the cutting operation the portals
are equipped with two torch carriages for transversal cutting. Both
machines are designed for cross cuts with only 1 torch or with 2 torches
simultaneously. With input information provided by a measuring roll the
slabs, transported by a roller table, are stopped in a certain window
and the two portal cutters are positioned along the transport direction
in order to achieve the preselected length of the daughter slabs.
