Abstract
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 this paper. Flow rate, flow velocity, and falling position of outflow liquid are derived from mathematical model of pouring and falling position . Using the estimated falling position, the actual falling position tracks to target position by transferring of ladle. Moreover, because sloshing by transferring the ladle is generated, the sloshing suppression control is proposed. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control system, simulation and experiments of automatic pouring system were conducted.
