Abstract: A method for adjusting a roll segment of a strand guide of a slab-casting installation against a strand, wherein the roll segment has an upper and a lower roll support that each have an adjusting element for adjusting the two roll supports relative to each other. The method includes individual control of the individual adjusting elements, wherein the actual profile of the strand, including the heights of the right and left lateral edges of the strand, is detected and compared with a set profile that includes a predetermined set height, which is the same for the right and left lateral edges, and the individual adjusting elements of the roll segment are individually controlled based on the control deviation that results from the comparison so that the actual profile is adapted to the set profile, including equalization of the heights of the right and left lateral edges of the strand.

Abstract: The invention relates to a strand guiding unit and a method for positioning at least one roll segment of a strand guiding unit against a strand, the roll segment (110) comprising an upper and a lower roll support (114, 112), each of which bears at least one roll (116, 118) for guiding the strand (200) between the rolls. When viewed in the direction of the material flow, at least one respective positioning element is allocated to the tight-hand and left-hand side of the roll segment in order to position the two roll supports (112, 114) in relation to one another. The aim of the invention is to relieve the mechanical stress on a rolling frame that is connected downstream of the strand guiding unit, to relieve said frame of some of its previous tasks and to improve the quality of the strand. To achieve this, the separate positioning elements are individually controlled in such a way that the heights (Hr, Hl) of the right-hand and left-hand edges of the strand (200) are identical.

Abstract: A controlling and/or regulating device for a lifting table (10) supporting a continuous casting mold (5) in a continuous casting machine (1) for liquid metal, in particular for liquid steel material (3), with an oscillating drive (11) comprising a plurality of stationary piston-cylinder units (12) which are articulated at the lifting table (10), with field measuring devices (16) at the hydraulic cylinder (12a), the signals of which field measuring devices (16) are fed via electrical connections (21)) to the control/regulating station (25) and back into the associated actuators, is operated in a fieldized manner and requires less resources for cabling in spite of the large quantity of electrical connections (21) in that the respective electrical connections (21) are guided in the vicinity (30) of the lifting table (10) as cable bundles (23) to an axle regulator (31) which is connected, via a fieldbus (22), to a memory-programmable control (32) located at a distance in the control/regulating station (25).

Abstract: A controlling and/or regulating device for a supporting roll stand (2) of a continuous casting installation (1) for metals, especially for steel materials (3), comprises a plurality of successive roll segments (8) with lower frames (11) and upper frames (12) which can be adjusted relative to the other and pairs of piston-cylinder units (13). The measurement data of field devices (14) are acquired locally and processed. The controlling and/or regulating device simplifies the field cabling and the regulating concept by relocating functions to or next to a roll segment (8) in that the field devices (14) are arranged at or on the roll segment (8) or in the vicinity of the roll segment (8) at the stationary shop scaffold (17), and their measurement signals are processed by axle regulators (18) and are stored and communicate with a memory-programmable control unit (19) by a fieldbus module (20).

Abstract: A strand pulling-off method for a metal strip cast in a curved continuous casting plant and a curved continuous casting plant, wherein the metal strip is initially pulled vertically from a casting mold using a curved entry segment driven with an entry speed. A curved shape is imparted to the metal strip in the curved entry segment such that the metal strip travels in a circular arc. The metal strip is straightened after reaching a horizontal strip travel direction using a curved exit segment driven with an exit speed and conveying the metal strip out of the curved exit segment.
