METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATING A MILL REINFORCING MACHINE

Abstract

A method for use in the automatic movement of a mill relining machine during the installation of a mill liner, the mill relining machine including a clamping tool for coupling with the mill liner and a control system for controlling the movement of the mill relining machine, the method including: providing a mill liner including a target placed on a surface thereof; capturing an image of the target using an image sensor, wherein the image sensor generates image data indicative of the image; and in one or more electronic processing devices: obtaining the image data from the image sensor; processing the image data to determine target data for the target; generating control data based, at least in part, on the target data;and provide the control data to the control system, thereby allowing the mill relining machine to move automatically according to the control data.
