Abstract: Trouble-free operation of an installation for rolling plates or sheets that have lost their rectangular form and have the form of a parallelogram is ensured by preventing the plate from meandering as it enters a rolling stand. A first rolling pass is carried out and, when the plate runs out from the rolling stand, it is determined whether the side faces of the plate are offset in relation to one another in the rolling direction. If the side faces of the plate are offset in relation to one another in the rolling direction, i.e. if the plate is parallelogram-shaped and has an oblique end, in a second rolling pass guiding elements of the rolling stand are set asymmetrically with respect to a center line. A first guiding element for the side face, which is the first to enter the rolling stand in the second rolling pass, is thereby adjusted further away from the center line than the second guiding element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for operating a hot rolling train with at least one edger and at least one sensor with which the strip end position is determined by means of a linear recording of the infrared radiation from the rolled strip and whereby an optimization of the strip width distribution is achieved by means of a calculation system.
