Abstract
A strip thickness control method in a twin roll strip casting device having a fixed roll and a horizontally movable roll, the method including the steps of: measuring a movement value Gj(&thgr;) of journals of the fixed and movable rolls and a movement value Gg(&thgr;+&pgr;) of barrels of the rolls; predicting a movement value Mfcr(&thgr;) of a roll nip of the fixed roll and a movement value Mmer(&thgr;) of a roll nip of the movable roll from the movement values Gj(&thgr;) and Gg(&thgr;+&pgr;); calculating a difference value between the movement values Mfcr(&thgr;) and Mmcr(&thgr;) to obtain an amount of variation Mdiff(&thgr;) of a gap between the fixed and movable rolls; and controlling thickness of a strip to minimize the amount of variation Mdiff(&thgr;) of the gap between the rolls.
