hi in rolls-royce technologies we keep making advancements with our products and I want to talk to you a little bit about the our retrofit kits for web guiding systems now our retrofit kits are available for most applications that are out in the market the advantage is you just replace controller the actuator and the sensors on your web guiding system and just keep the mechanical components mechanical components can last a very long time and they're easy to maintain but the this part is what's really the the the nitty gritty of a web guiding system and what we want to allow you to do is to have the most advanced technology in your existing web guiding system so for a typical what typical retrofit kit would be composed of a a control unit with a screen a motor driver an actuator and a sensors in this case what I have and what I'm showing you here is something that we have actually modified to our old systems they make them a lot better according to what our customers have been requesting from us for example in our in our motor driver now it's a quick disconnect so as you can see we can just plug and unplug a cable here and allows you to also have the same thing on our actuator now this allows the customer to select the size or the length of the cable that they need and it's on off-the-shelf cable so you don't really have to buy from us you can go directly to the cable suppliers additionally we have also come up in our sensor mountings we have come up with brackets that slide are easy to lock on to position very sturdy so therefore you just mount a aluminum extrusion or one inch aluminum extrusion and it's very simple to use you just turned the the locking mechanism and you can slide it into position water ever you want and once you have it in position you can lock it back up and it's firmly in place now these aluminum extrusions you can buy them off the shelf and you can buy them for any length that you want so these are very very handy to have now they are also available for our other sensor sizes for the 221 millimeter sensor to now the advantage of the 221 millimeter sensor is that with the flow these forty eight millimeter sensors you would have to move them if your web with changes quite a bit but with a 221 if the web width is within the sensing window of the 221 you can just use our application where you can adjust the the guide point either automatically or by just with your finger or by setting it by moving it in increments of a certain length so that's those are some of the features so with our actuator we can provide you with options as to how to connect the actuator to your machine now we can provide you with either clevis amounts on e on either side or we can provide you with a feral rods it all depends on what you have in currently installed in the machine we're trying to get as close as possible to doing this that's a drop in there might be some slight modifications but if we can you make it as a drop in it will be a lot better for you now another thing that we have available for you a controller that has the operator interface and a screen touch screen where the operator can actually do all the controls of jogging left/right or several Center put the machine in operation determine whether what the sensors are the controller also has up to two sensors that it can work with for the guiding process another thing that we have available for you now we have a team of sales reps all over the United States so they can help you start the process of determining what do you need for your system in order to do the retrofit retrofit kit for your current web guiding system in order to do that all you have to do is just go visit us at our website at www.ge.com tacked us there we have a whole listing of all our are all sales reps all over the US in Mexico and in Europe we hope that this can be of service to you and we believe that this application of retrofit kits will be of great value for your operation you
