Abstract:
1. A twin roll caster comprising: two casting rolls that delimit a casting gap between them on its longitudinal sides; two side plates that delimit the casting gap on its narrow sides; and at least one oscillation device, which is/are associated with one of the side plates and rotates the one side plate, during the casting process, in a rotational oscillating manner about an axis of oscillation extending substantially axially parallel to the axes of rotation of the casting rolls, wherein the at least one oscillation device comprises: two actuators, which, are articulatedly coupled to the one side plate and, during operation, each applying a torque rotating about the axis of oscillation on the one side plate; and a control device that emits control signals, upon which the actuators, individually or together with each other, carry out adjustment movements aligned against one another or parallel to one another.
