FALLING POSITION CONTROL OF OUTFLOW LIQUID FOR AUTOMATIC POURING SYSTEM WITH TILTING-TYPE LADLE

This paper presents advanced control for automatic pouring system with the tilting-type ladle in casting industry. The falling position control of outflow liquid poured from the ladle is proposed in the paper. The mathematical model of the falling position is derived from the shape of the ladle and the pouring conditions. The falling position control system is constructed by using the model from the control input applied to the motor to the falling position. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control system, the control system was applied to the automatic pouring system which was tested by simulation studies.
