  • Process for guiding a slab and slab-guide
    Patent number: 6216769
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for guiding a strand, especially a steel strand in a continuous casting plant with a soft reduction zone in which hydraulic servo units continuously adjust the gap width between oppositely located strand guide rollers. In a strand guiding segment with 4 servo piston-cylinder units, two adjacent servo piston-cylinder units are adjusted relative to the strand so as to be linked with one another hydraulically. The rest of the servo piston-cylinder units are adjusted independently. The invention is further directed to a strand guide.
