In this episode of our webinar series on web guiding fundamentals, we explore the installation and operational intricacies of a steering guide. We cover the mechanics of a single roller installed on angled raceways, its bending action, and essential guidelines for entry and exit spans. We discuss the importance of maintaining a 90-degree exit span angle to minimize stress and prevent issues such as wrinkles and web tear. The video also explains the concept of the Instant Center and its role in web guide dynamics, providing installation tips to prevent oversteering and under steering. Join us to learn about maintaining optimal performance and reducing stress in your web handling system.
