Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004028723A1] The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, in particular steel material, to form elongated products in a multiple casting line. Said device comprises several continuous casting moulds, which are driven in an oscillating manner in an oscillating frame (2) by means of plate springs (4), which extend transversally in relation to the casting direction (1), act as guides and compensate for weight. The aim of the invention is to obtain the smallest possible distances "A" between the castings. To achieve this, two housings (6a) configured as flat compact cases (6) are fixed one behind the other on an elongated bed (5) in the direction of transport (1) of the casting, said cases containing lower and upper pairs (4a, 4b) of plate springs that run transversally to the casting strand (3) and the oscillating drives (11) engage with the pairs (4a, 4b) of plate springs, a front oscillating drive (11a) operating in synchronisation with the rear oscillating drive (11b).
