Abstract: A method employed in the spacing and gapping the product containing rollers contained within a plurality of continuous casting discharge racks. Both the method, and apparatus with which the method is employed, insure the accurate gapping of the discharge rack rollers from a specific centerline, the latter being in a given spacial relationship with a given benchmark located upon the rack per se such that the centerlines of a plurality of such racks are collinearly aligned when positioned using their respective benchmarks within a continuous casting machine.

Abstract: An apparatus employed in the alignment of various components of a continuous-casting machine. The apparatus may be used relative to the continuous-casting machine per se, or it may be employed at a location removed from the continuous-casting machine. The apparatus insures a more accurate alignment of the components with a substantial minimization of downtime during such alignment.

Abstract: A method employed in the alignment of various components of a continuous-casting machine. The method may be followed relative to the continuous-casting machine per se, or it may be employed in conjunction with an alignment apparatus at a location removed from the continuous-casting machine. Both the method and apparatus insure a more accurate alignment of the components with a substantial minimization of downtime during such alignment.
