Abstract
The invention relates to a device for positioning a die block (5) of a casting table (1) of a continuous vertical ascendant casting machine for pipes (T) with respect to a vertical axis of extraction (X--X), the die block (5) of the machine being fed by means of a device (3) for the supply of liquid iron, and bearing thereon. This positioning device comprises a retractable support (15) in which the die block (5) is fixed, a movable frame (6) on which the device (3) supplying liquid iron stands, means (18, 19) for relative positioning of support (15) with respect to frame (6), immobilising members (21, 25) designed to immobilise the relative position between support (15) and frame (6) in such a way that support (15), frame (6) and device (3) for the supply of liquid iron form an integral assembly, a base (40) arranged in a predetermined way with respect to the vertical extraction axis (X--X) which is designed to support the integral assembly, and means (47, 60, 64) for aligning the axis (Y--Y) of the die block (5) and the vertical extraction axis (X--X).
