A roller guide assembly is disclosed for guiding a workpiece into a roll pass of a rolling mill. The guide assembly comprises: a rigid housing structure; a pair of roller holders extending lengthwise of the housing structure on opposite sides of the intended direction of travel of the workpiece; guide rollers rotatably carried on the roller holders, the guide rollers defining a gap therebetween and being configured to engage and guide the workpiece into the roll pass of the rolling mill; pivots for mounting the roller holders on the housing structure for movement about axes extending generally parallel to the rotational axes of the guide rollers; springs for applying forces to the roller holders to rotate the roller holders about their respective axes in directions urging the guide rollers apart; and stops on the housing structure for resisting rotation of the roller holders, at least one of the stops acting through a force sensor to provide a measure of the force being applied to the respective roller holder. |
