摘要 |
The present invention refers to a method for detecting a seized or still standing roller in a track of rollers (10) in a continuous casting machine, where each roller (10) is rotatably mounted in supporting members (20) and arranged with its axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the track, and which rollers (10) are arranged for transporting elongated material (18) produced in the machine. The invention is characterized by measuring a load (F) exerted on at least one supporting member (20) of each roller (10), which load (F) is substantially parallel with the extension line of the track, and establishing the existence of a seized or still standing roller (10) at a load (F) deviating from a predetermined value, and caused by a force induced on the roller (10) by seizure or stoppage of the roller (10) at the contact with the transported material (18). <IMAGE> |
