Stranggießanlage zum Gießen eines Metallstrangs, insbesondere von Vorblöcken oder Knüppeln, mit einem Kaltstrang zum Einleiten des Gießprozesses, der einen Kaltstrangkopf, ein Übergangsstück und eine Gliederkette umfasst, wobei das Übergangsstück zwischen dem Kaltstrangkopf und der Gliederkette angeordnet ist, wobei das Übergangsstück und/oder die Gliederkette aus einer Anzahl gelenkig miteinander verbundener Glieder bestehen, wobei die Glieder um eine senkrecht zur Längsachse des Kaltstrangs verlaufende Querachse relativ zueinander schwenkbar sind, und wobei zur Führung des Kaltstrangs Führungsmittel vorgesehen sind, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Erfassung der Position des Kaltstrangs vorgesehen sind, die einen Lichtwellenleiter, einen Tachometer zur Bestimmung der Geschwindigkeit des den Kaltstrang antreibenden Motors und Wegsensoren umfassen. The continuous casting plant for casting a metal rod such as blooms or billets, comprises a cold rod for initiating the casting process, where the cold rod comprises a cold rod head, a transition piece and a member chain. The transition piece is arranged between the cold rod head and the member chain. The transition piece and/or the member chain consist of limbs connected to each other. The members are pivotable relative to each other around a vertical transverse axis running to longitudinal axis of the cold rod. Guidance means are provided for guiding the cold rods.

The members are pivotable relative to each other around a vertical transverse axis running to longitudinal axis of the cold rod. Guidance means are provided for guiding the cold rods and comprise guidance rollers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and/or skids. The guidance rollers are arranged at the frame of transport straightening machine units (9, 10, 11, 12, 13), between which intermediate rollers (16) are arranged as further guidance means. The position of the skids and/or the rollers is hydraulically adjustable corresponding to the width of the blooms or billets to be cast transverse to transport direction. Means for the detection of the position of the cold rod are provided and comprise an optical fiber, a tachometer for determining the speed of the motor driving the cold rods, and a displacement sensor.
