ELGUIDER pivoting frame system

Function
On an ELGUIDER pivoting frame system, the
web changes direction four times, each time by
90°. The system is based on a pivoting frame LÜ
with two path rollers. The imaginary pivot point
is located on the infeed plane. Lateral web
corrections can only be achieved by pivoting
around this pivot point. The prerequisite here is
always sufficient tension for traction between L1 L2
A-A B-B
the web and the guide roller.

45
Area of use 15
Thanks to optimized exploitation of the 45
15
2 3 4 5
elasticity ranges, the pivoting frame
is particularly suited to use even in really tight
spaces.
1
Application
The greater the web tension, the module of
elasticity and the required correction, the longer B-B
the infeed, exit and transfer paths should be de- A-A K
signed. Experience has shown that these paths
should be the equivalent of 60 to 100% of the AB
web width. The sensor should be positioned
behind the positioning roller, as near to it as
possible.

ELGUIDER | Steering roller system

ELROLLER steering roller system

Function
L3
ELROLLER steering roller systems already
L1 L2
correct the web position on the infeed plane.
They consist of a fixed base frame and a mo-
A-A
vable guide frame. The latter accommodates
one or two positioning rollers and swivels round
an imaginary pivot point on the infeed plane. L4
B-B
The pivot point should, on the one hand, be far
enough away from the infeed roller to ensure
that the web correction does not influence the 2 1 3 4 5
infeed roller. On the other hand, it must be far
enough away from the guide roller to ensure
that the elasticity of the web may be fully ex- B-B
ploited but not over-strained. A steering roller is A-A K
termed a proportional actuator. It must therefore
operate in a friction-locked manner and must AB
not permit any sliding between the web and the
guide roller.

Area of use
ELROLLER systems are always used where
there is a long entry path due to technical pro-
L3
cess reasons.
L1 L2 L4

Application
Depending on the space available, steering rol- B-B
lers may be fitted with one or two guide rollers.
A-A
On versions with one roller, the web is guided
with a wrap angle of 90°. On versions with two
guide rollers less wrapping is possible. In this 2 1 3 4 5
case, the web runs at almost the same level as
the outfeed roller. The following applies when
mounting an ELROLLER: the infeed path should B-B
A-A K
be the equivalent of two to three times the web
width, the exit path should be between 50 and
AB
100% of the web width. The sensor should be
positioned behind the positioning roller, as near
to it as possible. As a result, improved control
dynamics are achieved thanks to the resulting
short response time.

Web guiding with ELTURNER turning bar A

systems is based on a simple principle: a bar is A-A
mounted at an angle of 45° to the longitudinal K
and transverse axes while the web runs over it
with 180° wrapping. This has the immediate ef-
fect of changing the direction of web travel by AB
90°. To correct the web position at the same

time, the turning bar is moved parallel to the in-
feed plane according to the actuating signal, 3

thus offsetting the web to the side as it runs off.

Function
Web guiding with ELTURNER turning bar LÜ
systems is based on a simple principle: a bar is
mounted at an angle of 45° to the longitudinal
and transverse axes while the web runs over it
with 180° wrapping. Using an additional guide
roller and turning bar, the web is turned such L2

that the underside is on top. By mounting the L1

Application AB

The greater the web tension, the module of

elasticity and the required correction, the longer

ELGUIDER | Winding station system

ELWINDER winding station system

Function Unwinding
In production processes with moving webs,
there is typically an unwinder at the machine
infeed and a rewinder at the exit. During un- L1
A
winding, the winding station is moved via a li- A-
near drive to feed the web in the desired positi-
on. On the other hand, during rewinding, the
winding station follows the constantly changing
web position via a linear drive to achieve an
evenly wound reel.
3 1 2 4 5

Area of use
Web guiders with ELWINDER winding stations K A-A
are used wherever it is not possible to use
ELGUIDER or ELROLLER systems due to lack of
space. AB

Application, unwinding
During unwinding, the sensor is mounted on the
machine to define the target web position. Here,
the position detection system should be located
as close to the final winding station guide roller
as possible.
Winding
Application, unwinding with synchronous
roller L1
If, for space reasons, it is not possible to fit a
guide roller to the winding station, it can be de- A-
A
signed as a synchronous electrically coupled
roller.

Application, rewinding
During rewinding, the sensor is fastened to the 2 4 5 1 3
winding station to set the target position of the
winding station for the controller. Here, the po-
A-A K
sition detection system should be located as
close to the final machine guide roller as pos-
sible. The guiding path L1 depends on the AB
elasticity of the web. The larger the transverse
elasticity range, the shorter the path L1 can
be. Experience has shown that the guiding
path should be the equivalent of half a web
width.

Functional safety

"Safe Torque Off" (STO) function STO activation in operation

§ The safety function STO (Safe Torque Off) 1 (n)
according to EN 61800-5-2 is a safety STO
function integrated into the drive; the safety
function shuts down the motor torque by
interrupting the control pulses. The safety
function STO can be used wherever the
actuating drive comes to a standstill in a
sufficiently short time due to the load torque
or due to friction, or where the actuating drive
"coasting down" does not have any safety-
related consequences. The standstill position t0 t 0 + t 2 (t)

is not monitored!
§ The safety function STO corresponds to stop
category 0 according to EN IEC 60204-1. t0 2 (t)
The figures show the sequence over time of
4
the two application examples for using the
STO function. (In the figures, t identifies the
response time of the safety function.) t0 t 0 + t STO 2 (t)
Prevention of starting by means of the activation of the STO safety function:

§ The internal layout of the actuating drive is
shown as a simplified block diagram in the fi- AG 9..2 / AD 1..2
gure shown. The integrated safety function is
marked in yellow. The STO module has a two-
STO
channel architecture (channel A and channel
STO-A
