TAPER CHECKER
MEASUREMENT OF NARROW FACETAPER
BENEFITS
The battery-driven and robustly designed taper measuringsystem allows checking and adjusting the mold within therequired tolerances before casting starts. The taper of thelateral mold surfaces is measured precisely with long-term
stable inclinometers. The measurement is quick and simple.
Correct tapers of mold narrow faces minimize the numberof breakouts and improve the surface quality of cast slabs.
FIELD OF APPLICATIONThe Taper Checker can be applied in any conventional slabcaster. Without substantial costs, the measuring system
can also be adapted to special customer needs and moldconfigurations as a result of the modular block design.
FUNCTION
The high resolution, fast and easy measurement procedureof the mold taper is carried out by the Taper Checker.
Data is displayed on LED display. The measuring unit isvery stable, so under normal circumstances accurancy andusage is not influenced during the measuring process.
