The present invention refers to a method for detecting a misaligned roller portion (36) of a roller (10) in a continuous casting machine, which machine having a plurality of rollers (10) arranged in a row after each other and the rollers being divided in at least two roller portions (22) each rotatably mounted in supporting member (20) and arranged for transporting material produced in the machine. The method is characterized in that it comprises the steps of: measuring the radial load exerted by the material (18) on each supporting member of the roller portions of a roller, comparing the radial load values of the supporting members arranged in the outer ends (32,34) of the roller with each other, comparing the radial load values of the supporting members arranged in the inner ends (28,30) of the roller with each other, and establishing the presence of a misaligned roller portion where the divergence between the load values of the supporting members of the outer ends of the roller and/or the supporting members of the inner ends of the roller are exceeding a predetermined value. <IMAGE> |
