Abstract
A device for machining the edges of casting strands includes one machining tool each that can be brought into contact with a longitudinal edge of the casting strand, and at least one guide element for perpendicularly applying the machining tools to the longitudinal edges. Means are provided for moving the machining tools in parallel to the longitudinal edges of the casting strands, in order to modify the relative speed between the longitudinal edges and the machining tools.

A device (1) for machining edges of a casting strand (2), comprising:
- machining tools (3) that can be brought into contact with longitudinal edges of the casting strand (2);
- and
- a guide element (4) for perpendicularly applying the machining tools (3) to the longitudinal edges;
- and
- means (5) for moving the machining tools (3) parallel to the longitudinal edges of the casting strand (2) configured to modify a relative speed between the longitudinal edges and the machining tools (3).
A method for machining edges of a casting strand (2), comprising
- providing a machining tool (3) that can be brought into contact with an edge of the casting strand (2), and at least one guide element (4) for perpendicularly applying the machining tools (3) to the edges;
- and
- moving the machining tool (3) parallel to longitudinal edges of the casting strand (2) and thereby changing a relative speed between the longitudinal edges and the machining tool (3).
