Extensive. High productivity, flexibility and product quality – these are your benefits from our X-Pact^® electrics and automation package. It guides the continuous casting process seamlessly and precisely. To control the casting process from the ladle turret to the discharge roller table, we supply advanced all-inclusive systems. That goes for both new plants and revamps. Our particular strength lies in system integration of the whole spectrum of electrics and automation. Included here are energy supply and distribution, drive technology, instruments and all levels of automation right up to production planning. Our solutions match your mechanical equipment, process engineering and technology.

Precise. The high accuracy of our mold level control is responsible for an excellent material surface and internal quality. You minimize oscillation marks on the surface using our hydraulic oscillation drive with its variable stroke frequency, stroke height and curve shape. And there’s plenty of scope for changing the final product width because you can alter the width of the mold narrow side during ongoing production.

Transparent. It is no exaggeration to call our Mold Monitoring System the “transparent mold”. That’s because it monitors the temperature distribution inside the mold, detects potential strand shell sticking immediately and triggers suitable action to prevent breakouts. Our IPQS Integrated Product Quality System^® gives you the option of seamlessly documenting the process and product quality throughout the individual process stages. As an interface, IPQS^® collects all the quality-relevant data, evaluates it and informs the operator in advance about possible problems. The result? More efficient maintenance work and an optimized yield.

Perfect. Our dynamic solidification control combined with Hydraulic Segment Adjustment gives you outstanding surface qualities and internal structures over a wide range of steel grades.

Pre-configured. In our testing area, we apply Plug & Work to test and optimize the entire electrics and automation of your continuous caster long before commissioning. As a result it subsequently goes into production without a hitch.
