All of AccuWeb’s dynamically adjusted WideArrayTM and standard edge detectors, as well as the AccuBeam® 3 line guide and all linear actuators, are compatible in one enclosure.
Designed to handle the most Demanding Web Guide Applications
The Micro 4000NET controller is the heart of the industry’s most powerful web guide system. It’s built to handle any application, run in any environment, and steer all web content.
Interfacing with existing customer networks and PLCs gives the Micro 4000NET a lot of versatility. As a result, you’ll be able to give unrivaled accuracy, consistency, and dependability. All of AccuWeb’s dynamically adjusted WideArrayTM and standard edge detectors, as well as the AccuBeam® 3 line guide and fully linear actuators, are all compatible in one enclosure.
Designed for Any Harsh Environment
Despite the presence of flammable or combustible gases and vapors, the AccuWeb hazardous environment system gives you complete control over web position.
An intrinsically safe edge detector and an explosion-proof or air-purged actuator are included in the system.
Sensors
Dynamically Compensated Edge Detectors Offering a Wide Sensing Range Using Ultrasonic or Infrared Sensing Technology
WideArray ™ Edge Detectors have broad detection ranges to accommodate varying web widths. Edge detectors can be physically repositioned because web widths can be changed on the fly. A WideArray is a rugged and compact device that is easily mounted and requires only a single cable.
Every WideArray incorporates AccuWeb’s patented Compensated Array Technology, which automatically compensates for dust, temperature and humidity changes, web flutter and passline variations, and other environmental factors.
Dynamically Compensated Edge Detectors for Single Point Web Guide Accuracy
Point Source edge detectors use a unique two beam system that continuously monitors the energy transmitted while compensating for minute environmental changes to maintain a consistent guide point. This results in improved web accuracy and reliability, as well as less downtime.
No other edge detector provides greater accuracy and reliability, even in the harshest environments.
Actuators
AccuWeb’s actuators feature industrial-grade sealed thrust bearings sized at 200% the rated load and are prelubricated for maintenance-free operation.
Rugged Designs to Meet the Demands of All Wide Web Features
The AccuGuide PDG-FS Series of Positive Displacement Guides are made of welded structural steel tube, which provides the strength and reliability required for wider webs and higher tension applications. The PDG-FS Series, like all AccuWeb web guides, incorporates proprietary linear bearings and a carriage design that allows for optimal web guide performance whether installed vertically, horizontally, or inverted.
Rugged, Dependable and Precise Performance for Mid to Narrow Web Applications
The AccuGuide PDG-AP Series, which is part of AccuWeb’s full line of Positive Displacement Guide systems, is designed for precision and dependability. The AP Series, made of tough anodized aluminum plate, are cost-effective systems that deliver premium performance in even the most demanding operations.
The moving frame and idler roller assembly are supported by one or more pairs of proprietary linear bearings, which securely connect it to its stationary base. For maximum application flexibility, this one-of-a-kind linear bearing system allows the guide assembly to be installed in vertical, horizontal, or inverted positions.
Cost-Effective Solutions for Narrow Web Applications
The AccuGuide PDG-PS Series, which is part of AccuWeb’s full line of Positive Displacement Guide systems, is designed for simplicity and dependability. These compact, formed steel guides are low-cost systems that provide reliable performance. The moving frame and idler roller assembly are supported and secured to the stationary base by three or more proprietary linear bearings. For optimum application performance, this one-of-a-kind linear bearing system allows the guide assembly to be installed vertically, horizontally, or inverted.
Manufactured for excellent performance and reliability
AccuGuide Steering Roll assemblies are made in two different ways. Anodized aluminum plate (SR-AP Series) is used for mid-to-narrow webs and structural steel tube (SR-FS Series) is used for wide web or high tension applications. Both designs feature a proprietary linear bearing system mounted to an integral frame that allows for easy tram and level mounting. This simplifies installation and eliminates alignment issues. For maximum application flexibility, this one-of-a-kind linear bearing system allows the guide assembly to be installed in vertical, horizontal, or inverted positions.
Engineered to provide superior performance and reliability
Unwind/Winder-Rewind AccuGuide Shifting Base assemblies are built using one of two methods. Anodized aluminum plate (SB-AP Series) is used for mid to narrow webs and structural steel tube (SB-FS Series) is used for wide web or high tension applications. Linear bearing systems with low coefficients of friction provide superior long-term reliability and accuracy.
Shifting base assemblies are designed specifically for each application. Tension/safety chuck systems are accommodated by uprights and mounting surfaces. These assemblies are pre-assembled and ready to install, with level and tram mounting feet.
Web width monitors that set a standard for accuracy and reliability
In converting applications, web width or web edge position can be critical. AccuWeb’s Web Width Monitor excels at making these measurements for acquisition as well as process control. To measure web width and position, the system employs patented WideArrayTM edge detectors and a Micro 4000NET controller outfitted with Web Width Monitor software.
Retrofits
When tighter customer tolerances demand precise web guiding, the AccuWeb patented 800 series delivers
This economical drop-in system is intended to add or replace an existing web guide. A Micro 1000® digital controller, a specially designed PointSourceTM edge detector, and a compact AccuGuideTM PDG-PS positive displacement guide structure are all part of the system.
Linear actuators for industrial performance
Only AccuWeb’s electromechanical linear actuators cover the full range of industrial performance. Brushed DC, DC, and AC Servo versions are available. Available for any application, including those with total loads exceeding 100,000 lbs.
Electro-Mechanical linear actuators are being used to replace pneumo-hydraulic systems.
Reduce the expense of changing hydraulic filters, air filters, hydraulic fluids, air pump vanes, and other maintenance items while enhancing accuracy by eliminating the possibility of contaminated web paths caused by leaking hydraulics.
Electro-Mechanical linear actuators are essentially maintenance free and feature zero backlash for optimal accuracy.
