| Who
is WTI Web Guides? |
| Wti was formed in 1979
and introduced the concept of "all
electronic" web
guides to the North American marketplace.
Presently, WTI Web Guides has over
7000 systems in operation worldwide
in all types of applications. |
| Why
do I need a web guide? |
| A web guide will maintain the accuracy
of your substrate into your manufacturing
process, increasing production and
reducing waste. |
| Why
is an electronic system better than
a pneumatic/hydraulic system? |
| Electronic system monitors and corrects
edge position 4 times faster than pneumatic
systems. Accuracy improves from ±015"
to ±003" or better. Maintenance
decreases in the absence of fluids,
filters, etc. Ask for our justification
sheet. |
| What
maintenance is required for a WTI
electronic system? |
| Grease the ball screw bi-annually
and occasionally clean the sensor lens
(varies depending on the process environment). |
| What
types of web guiding equipment can
WTI provide? |
| There are 3 types: Positive Displacement
Guide (PDG), Steering Roller Guide
(SRG) and Shifting Stand (Unwind and
Rewind). |
| Where
should the web guiding equipment
be mounted? |
| As close to the process,
needing the most accuracy, as possible. |
| How
should the web guiding equipment
be mounted? |
| PDG's can be mounted in nearly every
available space envelope, as long as
the standard guiding principles are
followed. |
| What
type of accuracy can I expect to
gain from WTI web guides? |
| Depending on the application
and requirements, accuracies of ±.003"
are easily maintained. For less demanding
applications, less expensive systems
are available. |
| Who
does the installation of the web
guides? |
| Generally, the customer does the
installation. WTI provides exact installation
drawings. These drawings are provided
prior to fabrication and define all
installation parameters. |
| What
type of service or support is available
for web guides? |
| In addition to your local representative,
WTI has an on-site technical staff
to assist you. WTI maintains full parts
