3 Design and Function
3.1 Functional Principle
The Master-Slave Guiding with Sensor Positioner is used when
two webs of material have to be guided together precisely to the
web edge or web center-line (laminating control). In doing so, the
positions of the unguided MASTER web (guide web) and the
guided SLAVE web (following web) are detected by edge sensors
that are positioned by motor-powered sensor positioners.
