Strip processing device and method for processing a strip

A strip processing device for processing a strip that is guided in a processing region of the strip processing device along a strip running direction, the strip processing device comprising:

• a roller holder disposed on a base frame so as to be pivotable on a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis is oriented parallel to a strip running surface;
• a first processing roller disposed on the roller holder in the strip running direction and at a distance from the pivot axis perpendicular to the strip running direction, wherein the first processing roller is offset from the pivot axis such that by pivoting the roller holder the first processing roller is movable toward or away from the strip;
• a second processing roller disposed on the roller holder, wherein the first processing roller is disposed on a first side of the pivot axis and the second processing roller is disposed on a second side of the pivot axis, wherein pivoting the roller holder in a first direction moves the first processing roller towards the strip and moves the second processing roller away from the strip;
• and
• a first counter-processing roller disposed on the roller holder and in a direction perpendicular to the strip running direction at a distance that is farther from the pivot axis than the first processing roller such that the first processing roller and the first counter-processing roller interact to guide the strip in the processing region between the first processing roller and the first counter-processing roller if the first processing roller is moved toward the strip;
• wherein the first processing roller and the first counter-processing roller collectively move together on the base frame about the pivot axis in a first direction toward the strip and in a second direction away from the strip.
