PAST E-SEMINAR
Maintaining Web Alignment
In this hour-long seminar, Ken Hopcus provided insight for assuring proper alignment of a moving web by focusing on key aspects of web guiding. He addressed the considerations of various guide-types, location options and provide guidelines to properly set up each type of guide. Plant Supervisors and Engineers will learn selection techniques to extend the life of a guiding system, and how to troubleshoot common guiding/alignment issues.
Ken discussed specific variables that affect the lateral position of a moving web, including:
-
Variations in caliper of web material
-
Roller alignment
-
Existing conditions in the parent roll (i.e. telescoping)
-
Tension (especially on ramp-up and ramp-down and at splices)
-
Bearing condition
