Abstract
In a continuous casting machine, displacement-electricity converters are mounted slidably longitudinally on a long guide having the same radius of curvature as that of the roller apron of the casting machine. The long guide is inserted between the rolls of the roller apron. The displacement of the roller apron with respect to each reference position is measured with the displacement-electricity converters.
Claims7
An automatic roll position measuring apparatus for use in a continuous casting machine which has a mold portion and a roller apron defining a curved guide path, said apparatus comprising:
- an elongated guide slidably fitted within said mold portion and roller apron having a radius of curvature the same as the radius of curvature defined by said mold portion and said roller apron;
- a truck carriage slidably mounted on said elongated guide and movable in the longitudinal direction therealong;
- detector means mounted on said truck carriage and contacting said rolls of said roller apron for electrically detecting displacements of said rolls with respect to the reference positions thereof;
- and
- driving means operatively connected to said truck carriage for moving said truck carriage and said detector means mounted thereon in the longitudinal direction of said elongated guide.
