Servo Center Servo Installation

The servo centering is a term used to indicate the middle or center position of a web guide mechanism. For an intermediate web guide this would be the position where the web guide mechanism would be aligned with the rest of the machine so that idle roller(s) on the web guide would be parallel to the other fixed idle rollers on the machine. With terminal guides this would usually correspond to the middle of the stroke of the unwind/rewind carriage.

Master/Slave Web Guiding System Installation

Master/slave guiding is a technique used to align two layers of web material, one on top of the other. This process involves measuring the position of the unguided master web, which serves as the base substrate. The position measurement is then relayed to a slave web guiding system. The slave web guide utilizes this information, known as the guidepoint offset, to accurately guide the web material. As the master web moves, the guide point of the slave web is adjusted accordingly, ensuring that the web is guided to a new location that maintains proper lamination between the two webs.
