MMK uses industrial robots for work in extreme temperature zones

At MMK production, a robotic complex for the melting parameters measurement machine has been launched to automate the process of installing and replacing measuring blocks. The industrial robot performs this operation with high precision in just 2.5 minutes. In addition, it enables prompt receipt of important data on the temperature and oxidation level of steel.
The assistant is capable of operating in a zone with temperatures up to 1500 ℃. Robotization has completely eliminated the presence of personnel in the extreme-temperature zone during block replacement processes, notes MMK.
MMK is a participant in the exhibitions “Metallokonstruktsii” and “Metal-Expo”. This year, the SteelStructures'2026  will take place on May 26-28 at the Moscow Timiryazev Center, and Metal-Expo'2026 will be held on November 10-13 at the St. Petersburg Expoforum.
