Web-guiding systems are used in the converting industry to position flat materials, known as webs, before processing.
The system’s controls must put the output signals from the sensors in to a form that can drive the actuator.
Web guiding systems work at high speed, constantly making small adjustments to maintain the position of the material.
The latest systems use digital technology and touch screen operator interfaces to simplify set up.
If the line speed of web is reduced, the amount of lateral displacement error that can be controlled by the steering guide system also decreases.
