ABSTRACT:
My invention relates to guide roll apparatus for use in a metal strip processing line wherein it is desirable that the longitudinal centerline of the strip remains coincident with the centerline of the processing line. My improved guide roll apparatus embodies sensing mechanism to sense the position of a longitudinal edge of the strip as it moves in the processing line, the sensing mechanism sending an electrical signal to a circuit including solenoid controlled valves which control flow of compressed air to a pair of air cylinders which are in back-to-back relation and which tilt the steering roll to compensate for deviation of the strip from its desired path.
