  • Continuous casting mold friction monitor
    Patent number: 4615375
    Abstract: A load signal representing the load between a mold and an oscillating mechanism is separated into its static offset and dynamic components. The static offset signal is compared with a free-running static offset to obtain a substantially DC signal representing the DC component of mold friction. A DC voltage is generated corresponding to the RMS value of the dynamic load signal component, and a reference voltage corresponding to the RMS value of the dynamic signal component of a free-running load signal is subtracted in order to obtain a substantially DC signal representing the dynamic component of mold friction.
