A device and a method for measuring thickness in horizontal strip casting installations for casting strip or sections. A measuring device measures the thickness of the liquid or pasty melt in the mold. The measuring device operates without contact by a laser and an optical sensor that are arranged so that the surface of the liquid or pasty melt is monitored, whereby the thickness distribution over an entire width of the melt is measured. A measuring signal is generated, and a control signal is generated based on the measuring signal in order to control a device for distributing the melt.

Device for thickness measurement and method therefor

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.
