Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour revêtir une bande métallique à l'aide d'un dispositif d'enduction. À l'intérieur du dispositif d'induction, la bande traverse d'abord un récipient d'enduction comprenant un agent de revêtement liquide et ensuite un dispositif à buses de raclage permettant de racler l'agent de revêtement superflu de la surface de la bande. Après le dispositif à buses de raclage, la bande traverse typiquement un dispositif de stabilisation de bande comprenant d'une multitude d'aimants sur les côtés de la largeur de la bande. Une différence de réglage de forme est déterminée sous la forme d'une différence entre une forme réelle déterminée de la bande et une forme de consigne prédéfinie de la bande, et cette différence de réglage de forme est utilisée pour commander les aimants du dispositif de stabilisation de bande afin de transformer la forme réelle de la bande en la forme de consigne. Comme possibilité alternative pour la génération d'un couple, en particulier d'un couple de flexion dans la bande, les aimants du dispositif de stabilisation de bande (130) sont placés dans une position de déplacement dans le sens de la largeur R de la bande (200) par rapport aux aimants sur le côté de la largeur de la bande opposé respectivement en fonction de la différence de réglage de forme.
