Web Guides / Web Guiding Systems

Re web guiding systems are used to maximize product quality in web unwinding and winding applications. They ensure perfect web alignment using advanced sensors and guides, with edge guiding, center guiding, or line guiding. All Re web guides use high-precision stepper motors to provide proportional error response, ensuring rapid and accurate adjustments, and significantly lower maintenance costs.

Web Guides / Guiding Devices

Linear actuators are used to move unwinding and rewinding stations laterally during the winding process to align the roll perfectly.

Pivoting web guiding systems are the ideal solution for most applications. A moveable frame with rollers pivots as the web passes over it ensure alignment.

Steering rollers are used mainly in applications that have a long
infeed path, like the pre-print zone in a printing process.

Web Guide Controllers / Control Systems

The time-tested MWG10.1 controller provides smooth and reliable communication between sensors and correction devices

The MWG22 control unit, with optional ProfiNET or EtherCAT connectivity, offers the same functionality as the MWG.10.1 in a more compact package.

SmartMotion is an advanced control unit designed for small to medium-sized web guiding systems. It is capable of controlling multiple web guides within one controlle

Ultrasonic, Infrared and Optical Sensors

SU ultrasonic edge sensors detect the edges of web materials like paper, cardboard, and plastic film.

SIR infrared edge sensors detect the edge of sound-absorbent materials like fabrics and non-wovens.

The Pyramid optical sensor detects printed lines, material edges or color patterns (continuous or intermittent).

The PTS 25 digital sensor detects continuous or interrupted printed lines, material edges and patterns on a wide range of moving materials, even in low contrast conditions and at high speeds.

Python is a next-generation wide band infrared sensor that integrates the illuminator and receiver in a single housing. It can read the web material across its entire width.

Precise sensor positioning for ultrasonic, infrared, or optical sensors, ideal when sensors are in difficult to reach locations. They automatically position sensors as needed. 

Special Web Guiding Systems

The ReCorr web guide system is designed for installation at the exit of the bridge in corrugated cardboard production lines.

The web guiding system WG Reverse with turning bars is a complex system designed for the double-side processing of
