The required high quality of the steel and the increased casting speed need an accurate, frequent and easy check of the mould dimension and his shape. Perform such control in manual way is very expensive, inaccurate and requires too much time. The methodical check of the mould geometry produce immediately the following advantages:

• Prevents quality defects
• Prevents Break Outs
• Optimize the mould life
• Reduce the Mould costs
• Reduce the maintenance cost
• Optimize the Plant Productivity

So, who should be interested in mould tube dimensional check?

• Copper mould tube manufacturers: quality check and certification of new manufacturer mould tube
• Continuous casting machine suppliers: maintenance and assistance operations on managed CCM plants
• Steel makers: Monitoring of used mould tubes or quality check of new tubes

Sideralpha Sistemi, following his long experience and know how in mould measurement, has developed some Mould Measurer in order to make such operation more easy accurate and economic.
