Complete Web Handling SolutionsXW Machinery supplies integrated web handling and automation components that can be combined with the guiding system to improve winding stability and alignment: automatic web tension controllers, split type tension controllers, pillow block tension sensors, magnetic powder clutches, magnetic powder brakes, air expanding shafts and differential shafts.
Quality & ManufacturingSystems are manufactured using high-quality electronic and mechanical components and precision assembly techniques. Each system undergoes functional testing, sensor calibration, actuator verification, communication testing and continuous operation evaluation prior to shipment to ensure dependable industrial performance. Manufacturing follows ISO-certified processes for consistent quality and long-term reliability.
OEM & CustomizationXW Machinery offers factory-direct OEM supply and can provide both standard and fully customized solutions to meet machine structures and production requirements. Customization options include web width, correction stroke, sensor type (ultrasonic, infrared, CCD, edge sensor, color mark), controller configuration, actuator selection, communication interfaces and control panel branding/labeling.
How it worksThe system continuously monitors lateral web position using a selected edge/center sensor. The controller processes the sensor signal and drives the actuator (servo or pneumatic actuator options) to provide fast lateral correction, keeping the web centered or tracking a defined edge or mark during high-speed production.
