Italian and North American steelmakers have awarded MORE contracts to supply ACS – Automatic Cartridge Systems, to be installed in-service for the EAF automatic temperature/sampling manipulator.

ACS equipment is designed to automatically change the probes for CATFIS and CATFIS 2.1 manipulators, eliminating the need for manual operation. It is a “stand alone” piece of equipment that can be installed on the fix platform, on the same side as the manipulator, with up to three different cartridge type compartments. The installations are scheduled for the last quarter of 2019.
