Roll-2-Roll Unwind/Rewind Guide
Most Intelligent WEB GUIDES should be EASY TO USE!
10+ Years R&D
1000+ Installations
Setup in <5 Minutes
Key Features
Technical capabilities designed for precision and reliability.
- Shifts roll stands – positions entire unwind or rewind assemblies
- High load capacity – the RLA-200 moves about 33,333 lb on rolling bearings at μ 0.06 (20,000 lb at μ 0.1); see the RLA load table
- High thrust actuators – RLA Series, 500–2,000 lbf nominal, for heavy rolls
- Variable stroke lengths – 4 in (100 mm) to 12 in (300 mm)
- Zero recalibration sensors – material-agnostic detection works on any substrate
Key Benefits
Measurable business value and operational improvements.
- Stop manual roll positioning that slows changeovers and creates safety risks
- Eliminate edge tracking issues caused by roll buildup variation
- End operator intervention during roll diameter changes
- Remove roll quality defects from inconsistent winding
- Prevent safety incidents from manual roll shifting with heavy loads
