Abstract:
Strand guide (1) for a continuous casting plant, comprising a plurality of strand supporting elements (4) for supporting the strand, several support segments being fastened adjacent each other on a supporting framework (3) designed in one piece in its longitudinal extension, wherein each support segment (2) is fastened to the supporting framework (3) by means of a fixed bearing (11) and movable bearing (12) spaced apart therefrom in the longitudinal extension of the strand guide and each support segment (2) by at least one bearing is pivotally mounted to the supporting framework (3) so as to be pivotable about an axis (13), said axis being oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal extension (8) of the strand guide (1) and horizontally, as well as in a vertical plane passing through the longitudinal extension (8) of the supporting framework (3) to at least one bearing (11, 12)) is mounted so as to be adjustable with respect to the supporting framework (3) in a direction roughly perpendicular to the longitudinal extension (8) of the supporting framework (3) to enable the pivoting movement of the support segment (2), characterized in that a measuring device for detecting the pivoting movement of the support segment (2) is provided which via a controller (18) is coupled with an adjusting device (15) for adjusting the position of the support segment (2).
