Abstract
How can a properly adjusted mold increase productivity and product quality in the continuous casting process on slab casters? By measuring the 3-dimensional contour of a mold, it is possible to observe the wear during its lifetime, estimate the lifetime of the mold and to measure and properly adjust the foot rolls. By knowing the exact taper of narrow face and broad face, you can prevent breakouts and detect a dangerous gap between narrow face and broad face. With information about the deviation from the set point geometry and scratches, you can determine the best time to exchange mold plates to prevent breakouts and save money. Until now, making a 3D measurement of the slab mold has not been possible, but newest laser technology has made it possible to acquire all the mold relevant data with only one measurement device that measures contactless and fully automatically.
