Different terms related to web guiding are discussed in this article.
Web guiding is the process of regulating the cross machine position of the web while the web is transported over the rollers in roll-to-roll processing machinery. Other terms for web guiding include:
Many displacement guides, steering guides, unwind / rewind guides manufactured in the 1960’s, 1970's, 1980’s and 1990's were controlled using both pneumatic and hydraulic control systems which are often referred to as pneumo-hydraulic web guides. These web guide were really common before the mass adoption of the electronic (analog and digital) controllers and electric actuators. A lot of these units were predominant in blown film lines, extrusion lines, flexographic printing presses and even in paper converting machines.
Check out this video to see how easy it is to simply plug in and use our web guiding system without any type of setup or calibration.
The compact web guiding system from Roll-2-Roll Technologies is powered by the ARIS web position sensor. The revolutionary sensor technology enables the web guide to work with any material without the need for setup or calibration.
This demo video shows the capabilities of the Roll-2-Roll Technologies web position sensor to work with different web materials without the need for any setup or calibration.
