Bringing real-time, automatic online control of mold fluid flow, newly launched ABB Ability Optimold Control connects sensors and actuators in the continuous casting process.
The ABB Ability Optimold Control system works in real-time, using feedback from a high-resolution sensor system (such as ABB Optimold Monitor) to actively control electromagnetic devices such as stirrers or brakes which can influence fluid flow, correcting casting problems in the mold and ensuring that casting takes place under optimal conditions.
