The invention relates to a method for processing a slab (1) in a device, which comprises at least one furnace (2), at least one processing device (3, 4) arranged downstream of the furnace (2) in the conveying direction (F) of the slab (1), and a rolling train (5) arranged downstream of the at least one processing device (3, 4) in the conveying direction (F) of the slab (1), wherein means (6, 7) are provided, by means of which a force can be applied to the sides (8, 9) of the slab (1) in order to move the axis (10) of the slab (1) in agreement with a specified position transversely to the conveying direction (F) of the slab (1), in particular in accordance with the axis (11) of the rolling train (5). In order to optimize the rolling process by precisely introducing the slab into the rolling train, according to the invention first means (6) act on the slab (1) to apply a lateral force to the slab (1) at a first location (12), and second means (7) act on the slab (1) to apply a lateral force to the slab (1) at a second location (13), wherein the second location (13) lies at a distance from the first location (12) in the conveying direction (F) of the slab (1), wherein the first location (12) lies behind the furnace (2) and wherein the second location (13) lies in front of within, or behind the at least one processing device (3, 4). The invention further relates to a device for processing a slab.

A method of processing a slab in a device which includes at least one furnace, at least one processing device arranged following the furnace in a conveying direction of the slab, and at least one rolling train arranged following the at least one processing device in the conveying direction of the slab, the method comprising exerting a force against sides of the slab in order to move an axis of the slab to coincide with a predetermined position transversely of the conveying direction of the slab, particularly so as to coincide with an axis of the rolling train, the exerting including exerting a lateral force against the slab with first means for exerting force that acts on the slab at a first location, and exerting a lateral force against the slab with second means for exerting a force that acts on the slab on a second location, the second location being spaced apart from the first location in the conveying direction of the slab, the first location being located behind the furnace, and the second location being located in front of, within, or following the at least one processing device.
A device for processing a slab, comprising:
