  • Publication number: 20190201971
    Abstract: First, an auxiliary cut-out (11, 16) is formed in a side wall (1) of a continuous casting mold. That cut-out extends, in the longitudinal direction, at least over the cut-out length (L) of the useful cut-out (10) and has an auxiliary cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Then, an additional element (13, 14, 17) is inserted into the auxiliary cut-out (11, 16), and extends, in the longitudinal direction, at least over a cut-out length (L) of a later useful cut-out (10) and bounds the useful cut-out (10) orthogonally to the longitudinal direction at least over part of the periphery of the useful cut-out. The useful cut-out (10) is formed by inserting the additional element (13, 14, 17) into the auxiliary cut-out (11, 16). The useful cut-out (10) is closed all around orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. Orthogonally to the longitudinal direction, the useful cut-out has a (correspondingly small) useful cross-section and a maximum useful extent (d3).

  • Patent number: 10052684
    Abstract: A monitoring device (6) records variables that are characteristic of operating parameters of a continuous casting mold (1) for casting a metal strand (2). The monitoring device (6) records at least some of the characteristic variables by independently performing measurements during the casting of the metal strand (2). The monitoring device (6) forms groups (G1, G2) of operating parameters and independently tests whether the operating parameters of the respective group (G1, G2) satisfy a respective predetermined stability criterion. The monitoring device (6) accepts the operating parameters into a database (12). The monitoring device (6) determines those data records (11) contained in the database (12) that coincide in their input variables with the basic operating parameters and determines admissible operating parameter ranges for supplementary operating parameters.

  • Patent number: 10041596
    Abstract: A radial shaft seal is provided for sealing between high and low pressure sides in an annular space between a shaft and a static structural receiving part, wherein the shaft seal is rotationally symmetric and arranged coaxially to the shaft. A first sealing ring has an inner periphery bulging toward the low pressure side and forms a first sealing lip abutting the shaft. A spacer ring has first and second faces directed towards the high and low pressure sides, respectively. An elastic shaped part has an outer periphery abutting the second face of the spacer ring and an inner periphery bulging toward the high pressure side and abutting the first sealing lip. At least the spacer ring and elastic shaped part define a cavity subjected to the high pressure side or a control pressure which presses the first sealing lip against the shaft via the elastic shaped part.

  • Patent number: 8526012
    Abstract: A noncontact object scanning system includes a horizontal table rotatable on a vertical axis, one or more scanners above the table and one or more scanners below the table. The table allows passage of radiant energy therethrough due to its transparency or construction as a nonreflective grid. A controller automatically steps the scanners through a scanning sequence, each scan associated with a segment of the object's exterior surface. Surface segments scanned from above the table and from below the table combine to provide a comprehensive scan of the entire exterior surface. Adjacent surface segments overlap one another to provide redundant data used to overcome shadowing effects from the grid and to accurately align and merge the segments into a three dimensional representation of the complete exterior shape of the object. The scanners can incorporate color responsive light detectors whereby the three dimensional representation portrays color and shape.
