Monitoring Alignment of Mold Oscillatory Motion with CCM Process Stream Axis

Resumo

We develop a combined method of static and dynamic mold coordinate measurements to monitor the alignment of the oscillatory motion of the mold with the process stream axis of continuous casting machines. The results of industrial test showed the effectiveness of the proposed technical solutions based on the use of an electronic taximeter and vibration analyzer. The proposed solutions have enabled the creation of a catalog of swing mechanism malfunctions based on the control point trajectory shape.
