Sensors for Continuous Casting
The Need
Continuous casting utilizes tapered molds to account for shrinkage as the molten metals cool. Inclinometer sensors are crucial for ensuring the proper alignment and stability of the caster equipment.
The Challenge
The challenge with continuous casting is the fact that it is essential to monitor the taper to ensure that the mounting angle is accurate, otherwise, a break-out may occur.
The Solution
Sherborne’s rugged Inclinometer is ideal for taper monitoring ensuring that the taper stays within tolerances during the casting process.
By monitoring the process in real-time, operators can take corrective action to prevent longitudinal cracks and other defects.
