Method and device for reeling up in the proper position a hot-rolled strip in a reeling installation

A method for the poisitionally correct winding up of a metal strip in a coiling device, the metal strip, in particular rolled hot strip, being fed to the coiling device by a driving device including driving rollers with a gap between said rollers, the driving rollers being tiltable in relation to one another by a multi-variable controller by means of actuators for changing the gap between the driving rollers, wherein the controller is fed (a) the position of the edge of the metal strip upstream of the driving device as a measured variable and as a setpoint reference variable, (b) the setpoint strip tension between the driving rollers and the coiling device as a further reference variable and (c) the surface geometry of the metal strip as a measured variable;

• wherein the driving roller drive and the setting of the driving roller gap are activated by said controller;
• and
• wherein at the time when the strip is being wound up on its one end, but still partially treated by a finishing stand arranged upstream of the driving device at it other end, the setpoint strip tension is changed such that the draw-back force of the driving rollers for the metal strip wound up by the coiling device is steadily increased before the hot rolled stock leaves the finishing stand with its trailing end and is increased in such a manner, that the driving rollers take over the full draw-back force after the trailing end of the metal strip leaves the finishing stand.
