The goal of this research is to deduce the robust design of mold oscillator of the continuous casting machine. In the case of the system operated in the high temperature condition, the structural problems caused by the heat are dominant. Therefore, the thermal stress is considered with the connection of the thermal and structural analyses. The cooling ability of the water jacket was estimated and the robustness of mold oscillator was judged with the displacement and stress distributions obtained by the finite element method. The analytic results were compared with the real values of the iron mill.

Improvement in the control strategy for continuous casting is a crucial requirement to enhance the slab's quality and to increase productivity. The mold oscillator adopts the dual cylinders due to its heavy weight, so the synchronized motion of two cylinders is an important aspect when precise control is needed. The conventional method uses the master-slave control applied to the valve input reference, but the synchronization performance should still be improved. This paper proposes a novel synchronization algorithm for dual cylinders used in a mold oscillator. The master-slave concept is applied to the target reference position, that is, the slave target reference position is controlled to match the slave cylinder's position with the master cylinder's position. In the simulation based on a Simulink model, the proposed algorithm shows a better synchronization performance in aspect of the mean of the absolute error and the peak synchronization error.
