Abstract
An apparatus for guiding hot-rolled strips through an inductor, arranged between two adjacent roll stands, of an induction heating device, in particular within a finishing mill behind a strip-casting installation or thin-slab casting installation. The apparatus guides the strip between the roll stands under controlled tension over at least two guide rollers arranged on both sides of the inductor in a plane of travel of the strip which extends centrally through the inductor space between the induction coils. A tension-measurement roller is provided for regulating the tension of the strip and is arranged in front of the inductor and the first guide roller.
