Abstract
A device for lateral guidance (1) of a metal strip (2) moving on a metal belt conveying device, including at least one base body module (7) includes an essentially vertical guiding plane (10), at least one wear body (12) having a wear surface (12a) can be rotated into several defined rotational positions in a controlled manner. The wear surface (12a) is substantially planar, and in all of its defined rotational positions, is parallel to the guiding plane (10). Further, a method for lateral guidance of metal strips (2) moving on a metal belt conveying device includes, after a first metal strip has passed through the metal belt conveying device, and prior to a second metal strip entering the metal belt conveying device, the wear body (12) is rotated from a first to a second defined rotational position in a controlled manner, wherein in all defined rotational positions, the wear surface (12a) is parallel to the guiding plane (10).
