Abstract: A method of rolling a strip is provided. The method includes determining a value representative of the lateral position of the strip along a line transverse to a run direction downstream of each stand and calculating algebraic differences between the lateral positions and a reference position. A value of additional tilt is calculated from the algebraic differences to bring the algebraic differences below a predetermined threshold. Calculating the additional tilt values includes multiplying the algebraic differences by a gain matrix K that is determined by modeling relationships linking the algebraic differences and the tilts of the stand rolls. The additional tilt value is transmitted to each of the stands. The steps are repeated at predetermined time intervals until the strip is no longer gripped in the nip of the last stand of the rolling mill. A device for adjusting the lateral position of a strip is also provided.

Abstract: One subject of the invention is a method of rolling a strip (B) in a rolling mill for metal products, which mill has at least two stands in the nips of which the strip (B) is simultaneously gripped, whereby the lateral position of said strip (B) is adjusted, by simultaneously determining downstream of each of the stands of the rolling mill in the nips of which said strip (B) is gripped, a value representative of its lateral position along a line transverse to its run direction, and the algebraic differences (?xp) between the lateral positions and a reference position (6) are calculated, the value (Sp) of the additional tilt to be imposed on each of said stands of the rolling mill, in the nips of which said strip (B) is gripped, is then calculated from these differences (?xp) so as to bring said algebraic differences (?xp) below a predetermined threshold, the calculation of said additional tilt values (Sp) being carried out by multiplying said differences (?xp) by a gain matrix K determined by modeling the rel
