FIELD: process engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for optimizing slab rolling in device comprising, at least, one furnace 2, at least, one slab processing device 3, 4 arranged in slab transfer direction F downstream of furnace 2, and, at least, one group 5 of rolling mill stands. Note here that said device incorporates appliances 6,7 to apply force to slab sides 8, 9 to make slab axis 10 shift across said direction F in compliance with axis 11 of aforesaid group 5. To optimise rolling by precise feed of slab 1 into group 5, first appliances 6 are used to apply lateral force thereto at first section 12 and by second appliances 7 at second section 13. Note here that said second section 13 in direction F is spaced from first section 12. Note also that first section 12 is located downstream, of furnace 2. Note that second section 12 is arranged upstream of, inside or downstream, of, at least, one processing device 3, 4. Proposed device comprises appropriate equipment.
EFFECT: optimised forming.
