Web Guide Controller MWG22

The MWG22 web guide control unit for web guiding systems is an advanced solution for adjusting material web position through communication with sensors and actuators. The control unit ensures precise and reliable alignment of the web before an important process. Designed to enhance performance in all working conditions, the control unit integrates the latest technologies for quick response and flawless accuracy.

The MWG22 control unit for web guiding systems combines control logic and stepper motor drivers in one compact case, optimizing space and reducing system complexity.

One of the control unit’s key features is its user-friendly design, highlighted by the 2.8″ color LCD graphic display, which provides a fast and intuitive human-machine interface. Additionally, the system includes clear and large physical buttons for easy calibration and system management.

The MWG22 stands out for its ability to connect via fieldbus comminication. It supports ProfiNET or EtherCAT protocols (optional), allowing perfect integration with PLCs for centralized control of the system. It also features analog inputs compatible with all Re sensors with analog output, along with a CAN communication system, enabling effective interfacing with remote keyboards and motorized sensor holders.

In a web guiding system, the MWG22 control unit receives signals from any type of Re sensor (ultrasonicinfraredoptical), interprets those sginals, and compares them to a pre-set value. It then sends a correction signal to a physical actuator (such as linear actuatorspivoting frames, or steering rollers) to ensure precise, stable, and consistent web material positioning.

The MWG22 web guide control unit is the ideal choice for those seeking a powerful and reliable solution for controlling web guiding systems, offering high precision, ease of use, and integrated PLC management.
