  • a swivel motor can effectively act on the framework, in order to pivot or rotate the framework including the upper beam and lower beam around the axis of rotation. This is particularly advantageous if the actuator has a dead spot where it can not exert any torque on the frame.
  • the holding device is preferably arranged on or in a traveling frame, which is arranged to be movable along a guide of the device in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
  • the device When slicing vertically arranged slab is preferably provided that the two opposite long sides of the continuous casting product are simultaneously ground by means of at least two grinding tools.
  • the device accordingly preferably has two grinding devices, each with at least one grinding tool, which are designed and provided for the simultaneous processing of the two opposite sides of the continuous casting product.
  • the long side of the continuous casting product is usually at least twice as long as the short side, often even more than twice as long.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 In various views, a device for grinding a slab 1 is shown.
  • the slab 1 has a rectangular cross-section which is in Fig. 1 you can see. It extends into Fig. 1 with its longitudinal axis in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • the slab 1 accordingly has two long or wide sides 2 and 3 and two short or narrow sides 4 and 5.
  • the long sides 2, 3 are usually at least twice as long as the short sides 4, 5, as a rule even much longer.
  • the slab surface must be processed by means of a grinding process in order to finally be able to produce a product of sufficient quality from the slab.
  • a grinding device is provided, which consists of the FIGS. 4 and 5 is particularly clear.
  • the grinding tools are in the FIGS. 4 and 5 numbered 6 and 7.
  • Fig. 4 It can be seen that the slab 1 must be held in a vertical position, designated I, for grinding the long sides 2 and 3. Opposite is in Fig. 5 to see that the slab 1 - to be able to grind the short sides 4 and 5 - must be stretched in a horizontal position marked 11.
  • a chip collecting container 19 can be positioned below the grinding tools 6, 7, a chip collecting container 19 can be positioned below the grinding tools 6, 7, a chip collecting container 19 can be positioned.
  • the feeding of the grinding chips is done with baffles 20th
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 Details of a holding device 8, with which the slab 1 can be held in the desired position, are in the FIGS. 6 to 8 to recognize.
  • the holding device 8 comprises a top bar 9 and a bottom bar 10.
  • the two bars 9, 10 can relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the slab 1, are moved to stretch the slab 1 between them.
  • an actuator 11 is provided in the form of a clamping cylinder.
  • Both the upper beam 9 and the lower beam 10 clamping elements 12 are arranged in the form of clamping or clamping claws. These can be suspended resiliently in order to be able to create a fitting fit to the slab 1 during the clamping process.
  • the pivot arms 13, a number of which are arranged along the upper beam 9 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, can be pivoted via an actuator 21, which transmits via a rod 22 its movement on the pivot arms 13.
  • the actuator 21 may be hydraulically or electrically operated.
  • the entire holding device 8 - comprising the upper beam 9 and the lower beam 10 and a frame skeleton 14 holding this - is arranged in a traveling frame 17, the -.
  • Fig. 1 to 3 - Is moved on a guide 18 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L.
  • the holding device 8 can be locked in the processing position relative to the driving frame 17. This is in any case to be provided when the holding device is designed to be pivotable relative to the driving frame, s. below.
  • the locking cylinder 26 can operate hydraulically, pneumatically or electrically.
  • Fig. 9 is a recording situation of the slab 1 sketched in the device with vertically aligned slab. Through an opening in the traveling frame 17, the slab 1 can be transferred vertically.

  • the slab 1 is pivoted by means of a tilting table in an intermediate position, which lies between the horizontal and the vertical orientation.
  • the holding device 8 takes over the slab 1 in this intermediate position and consequently has to pivot the slab 1 into the vertical alignment only over a pivot angle of less than 90 °. This saves time in positioning the slab in the grinder.
  • Fig. 15 It can be seen that the slab handling can also be done so that the slab 1 is received below the grinding plane.
