Abstract
The invention relates to a method for turning and reorienting the displacement direction of strips (), especially of a thin hot strip. The strip can be turned about any angle by means of at least one deflection roller, with roller banks () which are arranged on the circumference of the deflection roller, and which respectively comprise a plurality of individual rollers. Plastic and elastic deformations are avoided due to the fact that the strip is supported at various points by the individual rollers of successive roller banks (). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method. Said device enables the roller banks placed one after the other in the strip deflection direction to be staggered in relation to each other in such a way that the contact surfaces of their rollers with the strip are staggered from bank to bank, by one roller width ().
