Linear Actuator Controller
If you own or manage a company that operates film/web processing machinery, then you probably understand the importance of having high quality linear actuator controllers. These can be used to control and guide all types of material, from very thin plastic film to very thick metal strips. They can control webs that are wide or narrow. The types of applications that can benefit from edge guiding control include blown film processes, gravure printing, slitting, extruders, flexo printing, etc. With a linear actuator controller, loss of material can be reduced to a minimum, and the product can be processed using the highest standards. This equals cost and time savings for all involved!
The controller works by calculating the difference for the given position, and then controls the actuator accordingly. The actuator is the component that actually guides web or film material back to the proper position. This makes it possible to control the film as it goes through various stages, while changing its shape and size. If you’re not sure what type of linear actuator controller you’ll need, contact a manufacturer to speak with a representative about your needs. Carotron, Inc., a motor control manufacturer, offers one-on-one consultations with qualified engineers to guide you through the edge guiding and control process.
