Web Guide Types
Unwind Web Guides
Commonly called "shifting stands", unwind guides are a kind of terminal web guide that require no pivoting motion when aligning the web material into a converting machine. Unlike the terminal web guides, no pivoting motion is necessary for these types of web guides. Unwind guiding is obtained by automatically positioning an unwinding roll of material mounted on a laterally shifting roll stand carriage. A shifting idler roller is attached to the stand. The sensor is fixed and mounted independent of the stand.
Rewind Web Guides
Commonly called "shifting rewinds", are located at the end of roll-to-roll machines, and are one of the tools used to ensure that the wound roll is not telescoping. Rewind guiding commonly referred to "chasing" provides edge position controls by having the shifting stand and attached sensor chase any web misalignment as the roll is winding to align each new wrap or layer of the wound roll. A fixed idler roller is required between the sensor and the rewinding roll.
Basic Components of Web Guide
Guide mechanism is typically a mechanical structure that makes contact with the material and moves the web material. Depending on the type of web guide, the shape and size of the guide mechanism are varied. An actuator moves the web guide mechanism to guide the web at the appropriate location.
A web edge sensor or a web position sensor detects the position of the web material. This measurement is used to determine and control the desired position of the material.
The Controller is the brain of the web guiding system. The controller uses the measurement from the sensor to determined the necessary corrective action. The controller then command the actuator to move the guide mechanism to actively control the web position.
Web guides work to keep material aligned while being transported through a web. When moving through rollers, web materials tend to align themselves perpendicular to the axis of the rollers. Without a guiding system in place the material would misalign (think of how easily a garden hose telescopes when rolling it up on a retractable reel).
As any flexible material is transported through a web it is subjected to the “normal entry rule" – which basically means that the rollers in the converting machine must be aligned properly. Normal entry must be applied when transporting webs or the results will be much like the garden hose – misaligned. Normal entry is accomplished by deliberately setting or programming the axis of rotation of the guide roller in order for the material to be steered or guided into a different position.
