Claim 10:
11. A remelting plant, comprising
a furnace which is positionable over a crucible of a melting station,
an electrode rod which is insertable or is inserted into the furnace via a lead-through, so as to contact a consumable electrode, and
a guide column on which an electrode rod carriage that is fixedly connected to the electrode rod is guided in an axially movable manner, so as to move the electrode rod relative to the furnace, and on which a furnace carriage that is connectable or connected with the furnace is guided in an axially movable manner, so as to move the
furnace,
wherein the guide column is articulatedly connected at a first end to a rotary column such that the guide column is tiltable in relation to the rotary column and is rotatable together with the rotary column about an axis of rotation of the rotary column, wherein the guide column comprises a weighing device in a region of the first end which is attached to the rotary column;
the remelting plant further comprising: a support column that is rigidly connected or connectable with a ground, and that extends substantially parallel to the rotary column and is laterally spaced from the rotary column, wherein the rotary column at a first rotary column end is rotatably supported about the axis of rotation on the ground or a platform by an axial bearing and at a second rotary column end opposite to the first rotary column end is rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation in a radial bearing which is arranged at a bar that is rigidly connected with the support column.
