Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a lateral guiding device for a metal strip (), the lateral guiding device comprising a guide () disposed laterally to the metal band () on both sides thereof, it being possible for the two guides () to be displaced independently of each other, and both guides () being operated in a position-controlled manner, forces of the metal strip that act on a first guide () of the two guides () and on a second guide () of the two guides () being measured, and the target position for the first and/or the second guide () being controlled as a function of the forces measured at the first and at the second guide (), such that the lesser value of the forces measured at the first guide () and at the second guide () is above a selectable lower limit force and below a selectable upper limit force.
