ABSTRACT:
A portable mold adjusting device allows for relatively precisely adjusting the mold cavity size of a slab caster mold during casting. The portable mold adjusting device includes a dolly to facilitate transport of the device to molds requiring an adjustment. A mechanical drive is secured to the dolly. A free end of the drive is provided with a coupling adapted to be coupled to the adjustment mechanism on an adjustable slab casting mold. The other end of the mechanical drive is directly coupled to a reversible electric motor. The mechanical drive is encoded to allow for relatively precise positioning of the adjustable mold walls.
