A device for measuring a wear condition on the plain bearing surface of a sensor plate comprises a measuring apparatus, which has wear sensors of a sensor plate integrated into the plain bearing surface. To capture the material removal at the plain bearing surface due to wear an evaluation apparatus is in signal connection with the wear sensors. The evaluation apparatus is designed, with respect to programming, in such a way that a change, in particular an increase, in the ohmic resistance value of the electrical conductor of a certain wear sensor can be captured in dependence on its own material removal, in order to thereby ensure that the amount of the material removal at the plain bearing surface and/or the remaining thickness of the plain bearing surface at the location of said certain wear sensor can be inferred from the detected change in the resistance value.

Device and method for measuring a wear condition of plain bearing or guide elements

The invention relates to a method and a measuring system for measuring a movable object, for example a lateral guide on the transport path of a casting strand in a metallurgical installation. The system has at least one light source () for emitting parallel light beams () and a receiving device () with a sensor field for receiving the light beams. An evaluation device is used to evaluate the light beams received by the sensor field. In order to be able to make the evaluation simpler and faster, the receiving device is designed to generate an image of the sensor field having the positions of the sensors of the sensor field, which are assigned to the light beams not influenced by the object, and having the positions of the sensors of the sensor field, which are assigned to the light beams which are emitted, but are influenced by the object. The distances between the individual sensors are likewise known on the basis of the known resolution of the sensor field. The evaluation device is designed to evaluate the image with regard to the depth of penetration of the object into the spatial area spanned by the light beams, the speed and/or the contour of the object ().

Method and measuring system for measuring a movable object

The invention relates to a method for to-be-cooled surface of cast material, rolled material () or a roll. Provided for the method is a nozzle, which comprises an inlet () and an outlet () lying opposite the surface to be cooled. Also provided is a preferably single-phase volume flow (V) of a cooling fluid, which is fed to the nozzle () via the inlet () and leaves the nozzle () through the outlet (). According to the invention, the nozzle outlet () is mounted at a variable distance (d) from the surface to be cooled, wherein the volume flow (V) of the cooling fluid fed to the inlet () of the nozzle () is set in such a way that, in accordance with the Bernoulli principle, the nozzle () is sucked firmly against the surface () to be cooled. In addition, the invention is directed to a cooling device () for carrying out the method according to the invention and to a rolling device comprising this cooling device ().
