Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0453732A1] A manipulator (20) for introducing a casting pipe (14) underneath a vessel (10) containing a liquid metal has a supporting frame (22), preferably displaceable on rails (23,28), and at least one connecting element (30,32), which runs in guide tracks (40',34) in the said frame, firmly holds the casting pipe (14) and by means of which the casting pipe can be moved as by a guide track from an approximately horizontal position into a vertical position underneath the vessel (10). The connecting element (30,32) can here be moved along the guide track (40') by a displacement element (40) provided in the supporting frame (22) and the casting pipe (14) is secured releaseably to it. Despite the limited space available, this manipulator (20) makes possible very accurate and simple introduction of a casting pipe into a mould (13) of a continuous casting plant. <IMAGE>
