Abstract:
1. A method of regulating a lateral guide of a metal strip, wherein the lateral guide comprises a first ruler on one side of the metal strip and a second ruler on another side of the metal strip, the method comprising the steps of: moving the rulers independently of each other and driving each ruler in a position-regulated manner; measuring forces of the metal strip that act on the first ruler and the second ruler; and regulating an intended position for the first and/or for the second rulers in dependence on the forces measured at the first and at the second rulers, so that only a smaller value of the forces respectively measured at the first ruler and the second ruler is above a selectable lower limit force and below a selectable upper limit force whereby only the smaller value of the forces measured at the first and second rulers is used for regulating the intended position.
