Apparatus to guide a metal product, the apparatus includes a support body (). A plurality of support arms () are associated with the support body (). A plurality of guide rolls () are installed rotating in an idle manner on the support arms () and define between them a roller guide gap () for the metal product. Adjustment devices () associated with the support arms () and adjust, independently from each other, the position of each of the guide rolls (. Detection devices () detect the stresses induced by the metal product on the guide rolls ().

Apparatus and method to guide metal products

Guide device for rolling long metal products, comprising at least a pair of guide rolls coplanar with each other and rotatable round axes of rotation inclined with respect to a rolling axis, a support body on which the guide rolls are mounted and configured to keep the guide rolls constantly in contact with the long metal products, and a support structure configured to support the support body and to which the latter is attached. At least the support structure is made of one or more non-ferrous metal materials with a specific weight less than half the average weight of steel and with heat conductivity equal to or greater than double the average heat conductivity of steel.
