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

FIELD: metallurgy. 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 attached to priming device end. Legs are provided with transverse slots for mounting movable plate connected with tie-rod. Probe is secured at tie-rod end and directed radiation source is positioned in plate lengthwise of priming device. Compression spring is arranged between probe and U-shaped legs. Casing of directed radiation source may be rigidly mounted in plate or may be positioned on pivot hinges for rotation relative to plate. When set of auxiliary members is used, probes are oriented toward 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. 4 cl, 6 dwg
