APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING POSITION OF ROLLS OF CONTINUOUS METAL CASTING UNIT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: metallurgy, in particular, continuous metal casting equipment with vertical process axis. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has priming device and at least one auxiliary member attached to priming device end and adapted for receiving spring-loaded probe. Auxiliary member has U-shaped legs with base rigidly joined to priming device end. Legs are provided with transverse slots adapted for receiving movable plate connected with tie-rod. Probe is attached to tie-rod end. Directed radiation source is mounted lengthwise of priming device. Compression spring is positioned between probe and block of U-shaped legs. Radiation source is disposed on leg base below plate. When set of auxiliary members is mounted on priming device end, probes are oriented to all four faces of priming device. EFFECT: simplified construction and operation of apparatus by wider operational capabilities and provision for precise controlling of roll position. 2 cl, 4 dwg
