Latest Patents
Axel Selke holds a patent for a "Method and device for adjusting one or more roll segments in a continuous casting installation for casting metals, especially for steel materials." This invention involves a method and device that allows for the adjustment of roll segments in a continuous casting installation. The rolls are adjusted in the segment upper frame and the segment lower frame on frame cross members by pairs of hydraulic piston-cylinder units in a position-and/or pressure-controlled manner. The operation for guiding and/or pressing the casting strands is switched from a position-controlled to a pressure-controlled operation when pressure within the respective pair of piston-cylinder units reaches a predetermined maximum value. This innovation improves the reaction of the piston-cylinder unit of every roll segment in the case of overload, allowing for operation at reduced pressure or in a pressureless switching mode until the segment upper frame can be opened to some extent.
