ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for manipulating and handling sampling tubes in relation to a metallurgical vessel. The apparatus includes a generally vertically oriented guide frame, mounted for limited tilting about a horizontal axis. Rails on the guide frame permit a carriage to run thereon, the carriage will carry a measuring lance. A tube manipulator is pivotably mounted to the guide frame, and includes a tube holding structure for holding a tube on an axis leading directly into the vessel and being coaxial with an axis of the lance, as moved by the carriage, while being alternatively positionable in coaxial relationship with a horizontal delivery axis. Tubes are placed into this horizontal delivery axis and such tube is moved toward the manipulator for being gripped by the holder thereon, so that such a tube may be swung into an upright position, as the manipulator assumes a vertical position of coaxial relation of the tube as held with respect to said lance axis, leading directly into the metallurgical vessel.
