Setup, mounting, configuration
Quick Answer:
Minutes, not hours. Set sensor orientation, servo-center, and set the guide point—no manual calibration needed when materials change.
Once the guide is mounted, commissioning is a short menu sequence on the controller: set sensor orientation, check jog direction, servo-center, set the guide point, and switch to Automatic. This is particularly valuable for converters running short production runs with frequent changeovers—there is no need to move sensors or recalibrate when switching materials or web widths.
Quick Answer:
Yes, retrofit kits available for Fife, AccuWeb, E+L guides. 2-4 hour install.
Yes. Roll-2-Roll upgrade kits replace the sensor, controller and actuator on many existing web guides, including some Fife, AccuWeb and Erhardt+Leimer models. The actuator is matched to your guide's mount type (fixed or floating), and adapter kits are model-specific, so contact us to confirm your model.

Typical retrofit takes 2-4 hours.
Quick Answer:
Electronic adjustment via touchscreen—no mechanical repositioning needed.
Simply adjust the "guide point" on the SCU6x touchscreen. The sensor stays fixed—no mechanical repositioning required. Width changeovers take seconds, not minutes.
