Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2529859A1] A control instrument (11) for monitoring a plate (10) of an ingot mould (4) in a continuous casting plant (1); the control instrument (11) is provided with: a rigid frame (13) provided with a plurality of feet (14) suited to be laid against a vertical wall (12) of the plate (10); a distance measuring device (20) suited to face the vertical wall (12) so as to measure a distance (D) existing with respect to the vertical wall (12) itself; a moving device (21), which moves the distance measuring device (20) along a vertical measuring path (P); a position sensor (22), which detects the position of the distance measuring device (20) along the vertical measuring path (P); and a processing unit (23), which correlates the distance (D) with respect to the vertical wall (12), which has been measured by the distance measuring device (20), with the position of the distance measuring device (20) along the vertical measuring path (P), so as to obtain a profile of the vertical wall (12) ( Fig. 3 ).
