Abstract
The invention relates to a device () and a method for laterally guiding a slab () on a transport track (), comprising a first guide rule () and a second guide rule (). The guide rules () are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the transport track () and are each connected to at least one actuating drive () so as to move in a direction of a width of the transport track (). The actuating drive can be actuated perpendicularly to the transport direction () of the slab (), wherein the respective longitudinal axis () of the first guide rule () and/or the second guide rule () can be positioned at a specified angle (α) relative to the transport direction () of the slab (). The first and/or the second guide rule () has at least one contact roller () which can be brought into contact with a lateral edge of the slab () in order to guide and/or compress the slab ().
