Introduction

In modern industrial production, where speed and precision go hand in hand, maintaining accurate material alignment is vital. An Automatic Guiding System ensures that your web or material stays perfectly positioned during high-speed processes such as printing, packaging, laminating, and coating. At Abhisara International, we design and manufacture advanced guiding systems that integrate seamlessly into your production line, ensuring high accuracy, reduced waste, and improved efficiency.

Our guiding systems are trusted in industries worldwide — from rotogravure printing to slitter rewinder operations — delivering consistent, high-quality output. Whether you need a solution for edge guiding, center guiding, or intermediate guiding, we offer fully automated systems that adapt to your production needs.

What is an Automatic Guiding System?

An Automatic Guiding System is a sensor-driven alignment solution that detects the position of a moving web or sheet and makes real-time corrections without manual intervention. The system works by:

Sensing – Using ultrasonic, infrared, or optical sensors to detect material edges or printed marks.
Processing – Feeding data into a controller that determines necessary adjustments.
Actuation – Moving the guiding mechanism via an electromechanical or hydraulic actuator.
Continuous Feedback – Monitoring and adjusting position throughout production.

This automation ensures that your material remains aligned, even at speeds exceeding 500 m/min, and prevents defects such as misprints, wrinkles, or uneven coatings.
