Strip Guide Applications
Sensors monitor the exact position of the moving strip and transmit the information to the controller, which then sends a signal to the actuator to adjust the strip positioning assembly to maintain accurate alignment of the strip. Our solutions are designed to keep your strip tracking straight, even on your most challenging problems.

Strip Guide Application Products
Kamberoller Steering Guide Systems
Durable and reliable steering guide systems that provide precise control for a variety of industrial applications.
Fife LRB Offset Pivot Guide
The LRB offset pivot guide is designed for reliable performance using either an electromechanical actuator or a hydraulic cylinder as a power source. Using low-friction ball bushings and precision race rod supports, it delivers low-maintenance operation for edge, line, or center guiding applications.
Controllers
Using the measurement from the sensor, the controller determines the necessary corrective action, commanding the actuator to move the guide mechanism for active control of the web position.
