Abstract: The invention relates to a device for lateral guidance of a rolled strip transported on a roller bed, particularly a hot rolled strip in front of a winding device (3), having parallel first and second side guides provided on both sides of the rolled strip, said side guides being movable toward or away from one another by adjusting means that are adjustable independently of one another; the invention is characterized in that a control device (14, 15, 16), to which operating forces and/or positions of the side guides and/or of the rolled strip can be fed as output values in the guidance of the rolled strip, is provided for damping the periodic deviation of the rolled strip, and in that the control device (14, 15, 16) controls the positions of the side guides and/or forces that the side guides exert on the rolled strip based on the measured output values.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for manufacturing a strip (1) of metal, particularly of steel, wherein liquid metal is delivered to a solidification section (3) from a delivery vessel (2), and wherein the cast metal solidifies along the solidification section (3). In order to achieve an optimal strip quality without damages, the inventive method proposes that liquid metal is delivered to a first location (4) of the solidification section (3) that is realized in the form of a horizontally extending conveyor element, and in that the solidified metal departs the conveyor element (3) at a second location (5) that is spaced apart from the first location in the transport direction (F), wherein means (6, 7) for maintaining the mass flow of the strip departing the solidification section (3) and/or the tension in the strip at a desired value are provided at or downstream of the second location (5) referred to the transport direction (F).
