How it works

How Web Guiding Works

Sensor, controller and actuator in a loop.

Measure

A sensor watches the web edge (or a printed line) and reports how far it has moved sideways.

Correct

A controller drives an actuator that swings a roller frame. Because the web follows the roller it runs onto, a small swing steers the web back into position – without slipping, so there must always be enough web tension.
