A Continuous Casting Support Frame provides the installation foundation for segments and associated caster assemblies. It defines the reference geometry for repeated installation and alignment of casting equipment, and its dimensional stability governs how repeatably segments can be positioned after maintenance.

From an engineering view, the support frame functions as a reference base structure. Key concerns include stiffness under load, accuracy of locating surfaces, positional stability of mounting interfaces, and distortion control after welding. Even small deviations at support interfaces can propagate into alignment errors across multiple segments.

For procurement, acceptance normally emphasizes mounting interface accuracy, datum surface flatness, positional tolerance of locating features, and traceable dimensional inspection. At RFQ stage, providing installation method, alignment philosophy, and interface drawings allows fabrication and inspection checkpoints to be aligned with on-site installation and long-term caster stability.
