CONDRIVE Direct Oscillation Drive is a electric oscillation system that simplifies online oscillation control in continuous billet casting . While conventional systems are either electromechanical drives with limited flexibility or complex hydraulic solutions, CONDRIVE combines the advantages of both approaches.
Its powerful torque motor performs a precise part-turn rotation, allowing online adjustment of oscillation amplitude, frequency and curve during casting. This enables each steel grade and casting section to run with individually optimized parameters, improving surface quality. The purely electric, hydraulic-free design ensures high reliability, low operating costs and minimal maintenance. Thanks to its compact design, CONDRIVE can be installed within a short shutdown.
