In this hour-long e-Seminar, Ken Hopcus provides 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.

Ken also will discuss 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)

  • Bearing condition
