| Type of Web Guide | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Displacement | Displacement guides correct web misalignment (error) by pivoting a set of guide rollers about a fixed point to geometrically displace (align) the web. A displacement guide provides correction with minimal entry and exit span requirements. Displacement guides are ideal for applications with space limitations. | ||
| Steering | A steering guide is also called an intermediate guide because it is positioned between the beginning and the end of the web handling/converting process. | ||
| Winding | Winding guides are used to accurately align the web coming from an unwind, and accurately wind webs on a rewind to assure smooth, straight-sided rolls by shifting a rewind operation. | ||

Configuration

|
| ||
| Sensor | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Contact | The guided web is monitored by a sensor that physically contacts the web. | ||
| Infrared | An infrared sensor is used to measure the edge of the guided web. | ||
| Photoelectric | A photoelectric sensor is used to measure the edge of the guided web. | ||
| Pneumatic | A pneumatic (air-driven) sensor is used to measure the edge of the guided web. | ||
| Ultrasound | An ultrasonic detector is used to measure the edge of the guided web. | ||

| |||
| Actuator | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electromechanical | An electromechanical device is used to move the guide rollers to ensure the guided web maintains a consistent path forward. | ||
| Hydraulic | A hydraulically-driven device is used to move the guide rollers to ensure the guided web maintains a consistent path forward. | ||
| Pneumatic | A pneumatically-driven device is used to move the guide rollers to ensure the guided web maintains a consistent path forward. | ||

Performance

|
|
| ||
| Roller Width | The width of the roller over which the web passes. The roller must be wider than the web and is typically greater than two inches wider on each side. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Roller Diameter | Larger diameter rollers can provide more wrap surface; meaning, more contact time for the web as it traverses the guiding system. While increased contact time can improve response time and position control, a larger roller may also add inertia to the system. | ||

Application

|
|
| ||
| Web Material | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Paper | Paper webs are made of cellulose and/or other natural and synthetic fibers. Paper is usually fairly flexible (except at very high basis weights) and will not stretch appreciably during processing. | ||
| Film | Films are polymer-based materials that are usually very flexible but are generally extensible; meaning, they can stretch during web processing. | ||
| Foil | Foils are thin metallic materials (notably, aluminum) that have low tear strength but do not exhibit much stress. | ||
| Tape / Label | Tape and label materials can be a combination of printed papers, films, foils and adhesives. These laminate structures require precise web guide control for printing registration and application to a surface. | ||
| Textiles | Textiles include woven fabrics, knitted structures and nonwoven materials. The materials are typically porous, flexible, and moderately extensible. | ||
| Rubber | Rubber webs are non-porous, heavy, and often highly extensible. | ||

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Clean Room | The web guiding systems is designed for use in medical, electronics, and other clean room facilities requiring high levels of cleanliness and control. | ||
| Explosion Proof | The web guiding system meets industry requirements for safe operation such that electrical circuits are properly enclosed to prevent short circuits, sparks, and other discharges that may interact in a negative manner with the surrounding environment. | ||
| Horizontal | The web guiding system is intended for use on webs that travel in a horizontal direction. | ||
| Vertical | The web guiding system is intended for use on webs that travel in a vertical direction. | ||
