Control instrument (11) and method to detect the inner geometry of an ingot mould (4) in a continuous casting plant (1); a measuring head (12) is inserted into the ingot mould (4) and the inner surface of the ingot mould (4) is detected by means of a distance sensor (26) carried by the measuring head (12); the measuring head (12) has sliding blocks (20) which project from the walls (14, 15, 16, 17) of the measuring head (12) and are suited to come into contact with corresponding walls (10) of the ingot mould (4); and the sliding blocks (20) are moved with respect to the measuring head (12) so as to keep all the sliding blocks (20) in contact with the corresponding walls (10) of the ingot mould (4) and, at the same time, so as to always keep the measuring head (12) in a predetermined and constant transverse position with respect to at least one of the walls (10) of the ingot mould (4). |
