The invention relates to an arrangement for the maintenance of a sliding closure (20) mounted on the spout of a container (10) for molten metal. Said arrangement comprises at least one tool magazine (65, 66), having at least one replacement part magazine (67) and means (30) for opening and closing the sliding closure (20). As a novelty, a robot (60) comprising an automatic grip changing system (61) and operationally connected to a control unit (75) is provided, the robot being able to automatically detect the exact position of the container (10) or of the sliding closure (20). Thereafter, it can actuate the means (30) for opening and closing the sliding closure (20) and, depending on the condition of the individual components to be replaced, it can grip tools or replacement parts from the magazines (65, 66, 67) surrounding the robot and can perform cleaning operations, dismantle components and replace or reinstall the same. In this way, personnel can be saved and the occupational safety is thus increased.

Cette installation est pourvue d'au moins un magasin d'outils (65, 66), d'au moins un magasin de pièces de rechange (67) ainsi que des moyens (30) d'ouverture et de fermeture de la fermeture coulissante (20). Parmi les nouveautés, il y a un robot (60) en liaison active avec une commande (75) et muni d'un système de préhension de remplacement (61) automatique, robot qui est en mesure de reconnaître automatiquement en premier la position exacte du récipient (10) ou selon le cas de la fermeture coulissante (20). Ensuite, il peut actionner les moyens (30) d'ouverture et de fermeture de la fermeture coulissante (20) et saisir, en fonction de l'état de chacun des composants à remplacer tout au plus, les outils ou selon le cas les pièces de rechange à partir des magasins (65, 66, 67) qui l'entourent et procéder à des travaux de nettoyage, au démontage des composants ainsi qu'à leur remplacement ou à leur remontage. Ceci permet d'économiser du personnel et d'améliorer la sécurité de travail.
