  • Patent number: 4226278
    Abstract: A molten metal surface level in a mold type continuous casting machine is controlled with an improved responsiveness and high accuracy by means of a novel electrical control system comprising a servo mechanism incorporating a microcomputer or the like, means for processing an input signal thereto from a detector means at the molten metal surface to feedback thereto a controlling output and, optionally, an ITV camera for photographing the molten metal surface portion to produce binary-coded signals through a suitable processing means so that the molten metal surface level can be detected and controlled with higher accuracy.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4202398
    Abstract: In a molten metal surface level detection system, the use of conventional detector means is eliminated and, instead, an ITV camera is provided at an appropriate place where it is neither thermally affected by the molten metal surface portion nor obstructs the site jobs and the molten metal surface portion is photographed by said ITV camera along a direction permitting the surveillance of the level of the molten metal surface and, then, the thus photographed image of the molten metal surface portion is processed in a suitable manner for accurately and reliably detecting the surface level thereof.
