Center Guiding Application
For center guiding application follow the same steps for each sensor before enabling the automatic guiding
mode.
Standard Operating Procedure
The standard operating procedure for the web guide controller involves the following steps.
1.
During startup or change over, servo center the web guide to its home/middle position.
2. Thread the web at the desired location on the web guide rollers.
3. If the guide point offset is not needed then clear the guide point offset to zero, else reset the guide
point to the current web location.
4. For edge guiding applications, position the sensor such that the web aligns with the guide point
location on the screen.
5. If manual positioning of the sensor is not desired, use the reset guide point operation to digitally
move the guide point to the current web position. This is mostly applicable with wide sensors when
the new location of the web is still within the sensing window of the sensor.
6. If the web is guided to the center line position, reset the guide point to the current location of the
web while ensuring that both edges are seen by the sensors.
7.
Set the web guide in automatic mode.
8. If during operation fine adjustments to the guide point are needed, then use the fine guide point
adjustment procedure to make the necessary changes while the web guide is in automatic mode.
The effect of the guide point adjustment will be seen only when the web is moving.
9. Once the line is stopped for changeover or production stoppage, set the web guide to manual mode
and if needed servo center the web guide to its home/middle position.
