| Who is WTI? |
| Wti was formed in 1979 and introduced
the concept of "all electronic" web
guides to the North American marketplace.
Presently, WTI 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 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 equipment be mounted? |
| As close to the process,
needing the most accuracy, as possible. |
| How
should the 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? |
| 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? |
| 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? |
| In addition to your local representative,
WTI has an on-site technical staff
to assist you. WTI maintains full parts
availability for immediate shipment
in downtime situations. |
