Ingot Stacking Robot
Robot that picks hot ingots off the caster and builds strapped bundles
Overview
What it is and where it works
A robotic stacking cell at the end of the ingot casting line that picks ingots from the conveyor, turns them as needed and lays them in layers to form bundles ready for weighing and strapping. It handles ingots still hot from the caster and replaces manual stacking, one of the heaviest and hottest jobs in a casthouse.
- Hot handling
- Palletises ingots at around 400 °C straight off the mould belt
- Bundle build
- Layers formed on frames, ingots turned as needed, then weighed and strapped

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it handle ingots straight from the caster?
Yes, documented cells palletise ingots at around 400 °C; the gripper and nearby components are protected from radiant heat.
Can it work with my existing caster?
It can be added to an existing line if the conveyor speed and ingot geometry are known; send us those and a layout sketch.
