Method of operating a continuous casting apparatus and a casting flame cutting machine for carrying out the method

摘要

A continuous casting apparatus providing high precision in the weight of workpieces cut from a continuous casting, includes a track disposed parallel to the casting, and a flame cutting machine movably mounted on the track by a machine carriage and a traveller clampable to the continuous casting. A multiple measuring device is provided at or near the cutting machine to detect data relating to the gross physical characteristics of the continuous casting, which is then used to control operation of the appartaus.
