Abstract: A method and a device for rolling a metal strip (1) in a rolling train, the rolling train having at least two rolling stands, the metal strip (1) having at least two partial areas (3, 4) of different thicknesses, which are connected to one another via a wedge-shaped or approximately wedge-shaped transition piece (2), and the rolling velocity of a rolling stand, during the rolling of the wedge-shaped or approximately wedge-shaped transition piece (2), being set as a function of the forward slip of the rolling stand and of the temperature of the metal strip.

Abstract: A device is provided for regulating the thickness of rolling stock in a roller stand. The device includes a control device that controls the roller adjustment of the roller stand as a function of the deviation between a reference thickness value (h*) and an estimated value (h') for the thickness of the rolling stock exiting from the roller stand; a model simulating the rolling process in the roller stand, the model calculating the estimated value (h') on the basis of roller technology parameters and measured values; a thickness measurement device that measures the thickness of the rolling stock after its exit from the roller stand with a measurement delay (T.sub.L) providing a measured thickness value (h.sub.L); a delay device for delaying the estimated value (h') determined by the model by at least approximately the amount of the measurement delay (T.sub.L); a correction device generating a correction value (k) as a function of a deviation (.DELTA.h.sub.L) between the measured thickness value (h.sub.
