Abstract

A continuous casting mold comprising an oscillating supporting structure including side walls defining a mold cavity, together with the supporting structure, is supported on a lifting table oscillated by an oscillation drive and guided in the oscillation direction by a guiding device. In order to keep the oscillating masses as small as possible and to improve the space conditions below the mold as well as to ensure easy repair, the lifting table is formed by at least two oscillating beams arranged at a distance leaving free the horizontal dimensions of the mold cavity and bridged by the supporting structure including the side walls.
