Context: |

The top and bottom of the slice opening are formed by the top lip and apron respectively. The top lip is adjustable up and down as a unit (main slice) and in localized areas (microslice adjustment). Either the top lip or apron extension is adjustable in the horizontal direction in order to change the impingement angle of the stock jet onto the forming wire. |
