Abstract
The invention relates to a strip-casting machine () for producing a metal strip (). Said strip-casting machine comprises a pair of casting rolls () which are arranged adjacent to each other, form a casting gap and are rotatably mounted on a machine tool table (). The casting rolls () and at least the machine tool table () carrying said rolls can be displaced on rails () or the like from the casting position (G) into a waiting position (W) and vice versa. The machine tool table () together with the casting rolls () can thereby be displaced away from the casting position (G) by such a distance that a second machine tool table () that is provided with prepared casting rolls () can be displaced into the casting position (G). The machine tool table () is held in a displaceable manner and preferably together with a housing () which surrounds said table. The inventive strip-casting machine allows for quick maintenance or quick changing of the casting rolls and an increase in the casting performance thereof.
