Roll-2-Roll Unwind/Rewind Guide

Most Intelligent WEB GUIDES should be EASY TO USE!

Lead Time: 6-8 Weeks
10+ Years R&D 1000+ Installations Setup in <5 Minutes

Key Features

Technical capabilities designed for precision and reliability.

  • Shifts roll stands – positions entire unwind or rewind assemblies
  • High load capacity – supports loads up to 15,000 lbs (6,800 kg)
  • High thrust actuators – up to 1,500 lbf (6,670 N) for heavy rolls
  • Variable stroke lengths – 1 in (25 mm) to 12 in (300 mm)
  • Zero recalibration sensors – material-agnostic detection works on any substrate

Key Benefits

Measurable business value and operational improvements.

  • Stop manual roll positioning that slows changeovers and creates safety risks
  • Eliminate edge tracking issues caused by roll buildup variation
  • End operator intervention during roll diameter changes
  • Remove roll quality defects from inconsistent winding
  • Prevent safety incidents from manual roll shifting with heavy loads
