In this video, we explore the process of center guiding using a single sensor. Unlike edge guiding, which focuses on one edge, center guiding utilizes both edges, making it highly effective for managing changes in web width. The tutorial covers setting up the sensor to detect the web's voltage, aligning the web's centerline with a guide point offset, and maintaining the center position with the actuator. The video also highlights the advantage of this method in handling width variations seamlessly and ensuring consistent alignment to the centerline, even with variabilities. Additionally, it addresses how the sensor deals with web breaks and resumes operation efficiently.
