<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily control the moving direction of an annular band. <P>SOLUTION: An annular casting band 26 is stretched over horizontal rollers 24, 25 in a tensioned state. The horizontal roller 24 rotates by a motor 24M. The casting band 26 circulates in a moving passage formed around the horizontal rollers 24, 25. A cooling part 61P for cooling one end in a Y direction of the casting band 26, and a cooing part 61Q for cooling the other end in the Y direction of the casting band 26 are provided between the horizontal rollers 24, 25. A control unit 67 detects a direction in which the annular band 26 is deviated from the moving passage by detection sensors 65PB, 65QB. Further, the control unit 67 cools the end in the direction deviated from the moving passage of the casting band 26 with higher priority than the end on the other side from the deviated direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
