Don’t Let the Web Guide You

Seeking a simple web-guiding solution, Cardinal purchased an all-air web-guide system from Coast Controls. Immediately after installing the RDG5 automated web guide in December 2007, Cardinal says it realized benefits in the form of improved quality and productivity. The all-air unit, powered by low-pressure, plant-supplied air (3 to 6 psi), consists of an anodized aluminum frame, guiding rollers, an air-actuation cylinder, and a friction-free servo controller. Self-cleaning pneumatic edge detectors work with all opaque and transparent webs, including paper, film, foil, and nonwoven materials.
