OSCIMON
EXACT MOLD OSCILLATION FORPERFECT CASTING PRODUCTS
Mold oscillation reduces friction between strand and moldan induces flow of mold flux down the cooper plates.
Exact mold oscillation plays a significant role in obtaininga high quality casting product. Measurement of moldmovement in all 3 directions is indispensable for highquality.

OUR SOLUTIONYOUR CHALLENGE

The equipment can be used for straight and curved
oscillations as well as sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal
movements and is suitable for slab, bloom and billet castingmachines

One Challenge in producing high quality products is tooperate the oscillator with proper movement. Accuratesetting of the oscillator is also an important factor for
reducing the downtime of a continuous casting machineand for avoiding breakouts. Reduction of downtime is also
a big challenge.

OsciMon is suitable for measurement of oscillator
movement in all 3 directions and for the storage andvisualization of the measurement data in 3D. The tool
immediately issues a warning in the event of any set-point
oscillation deviations.

Additional metallurgical parameters (e.g. non sinusoidal
factor, negative strip time, phase shift) can be calculated.

For efficient and predictive maintenance, the service teamneeds maintenance Information about the oscillation
system in order to detect problems early on. Therefore, allavaillable strands should be monitored at the same.
No extra time should be needed to measure oscillator
movement, human errors should be avoided andmeasurement results should be available in an easilyinterpreted form.
The tool should also be applicable for different types ofoscillators.

MEASURING TASKSThe OsciMon supports plant operators in several tasks likemeasurement of mold stroke, oscillation frequency andnon-sinusoidal value. Movement in and perpendicular tothe casting direction can be detected, as well as negative
strip time and percentage. OsciMon is able to spot total
harmonic distortion and compared the measurement with
set-point values.
