In the fast-paced world of printing, packaging, and converting industries, precision in web handling is crucial for delivering high-quality products consistently.
Even the slightest misalignment of material can lead to wastage, printing errors, or uneven coating, which ultimately impacts production efficiency and profitability.
This is where a Center Guiding System plays a vital role.

At Abhisara International, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and supplying advanced Center Guiding Systems engineered to maintain perfect alignment of materials during processing.
Built with cutting-edge sensor technology, robust actuators, and intelligent control units, our guiding systems ensure that your web stays precisely in position, regardless of variations in speed, tension, or material type.

Our systems are widely used in rotogravure printing machines, slitter rewinder machines, lamination machines, and various other web-based production lines, ensuring unmatched accuracy, reduced wastage, and improved operational efficiency.

What is a Center Guiding System?

A Center Guiding System is a web alignment solution designed to keep the material centered during processing. It is ideal for applications where the material must be aligned with the machine’s centerline rather than the edges.

Unlike edge guiding systems, which align based on one side of the web, the center guiding system detects both edges and automatically adjusts the web’s position to keep it perfectly aligned to the center.
This approach ensures symmetrical processing and prevents distortion in printing or coating applications.

Why Center Guiding is Important

• High Printing Quality: Accurate center alignment ensures that print designs and patterns are perfectly positioned without distortion.
• Material Saving: Prevents unnecessary wastage caused by uneven trimming or printing errors.
• Consistent Production: Eliminates manual adjustments, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity.
• Versatility: Works with various materials such as paper, films, foils, nonwoven fabrics, and laminates.
• Long-Term Cost Savings: Minimizes rejects, reduces machine stoppages, and extends equipment life.

Key Features of Abhisara International’s Center Guiding Systems

Dual-Edge Sensors: Equipped with high-sensitivity ultrasonic or infrared sensors to detect both edges of the web with precision.

Center Guiding System – Ensuring flawless web alignment and superior production accuracy

• Heavy-Duty Actuators: Built for smooth, quick, and accurate movement, even at high web speeds.
• High-Speed Operation: Capable of operating at speeds exceeding 500 meters/minute, suitable for demanding industrial environments.
• Durable Construction: Designed with robust materials to withstand long production cycles and harsh operating conditions.
• Easy Integration: Compatible with various printing and packaging machines such as rotogravure printers, slitter rewinders, lamination machines, and coating machines.
• Energy Efficient: Optimized power consumption without compromising performance.

Applications of Center Guiding Systems

How the System Works

1. Sensing: Dual sensors detect the position of both edges of the web.
2. Processing: The control unit calculates the center position based on sensor inputs.
3. Actuation: The actuator adjusts the web position in real time to maintain perfect center alignment.
4. Feedback Loop: Continuous monitoring ensures that even if material position shifts due to tension variations or roll misalignment, corrections are made instantly.

Advantages Over Edge Guiding

• Symmetrical Accuracy: Ideal when center positioning is critical for the process.
• Better for Variable Web Widths: Adjusts automatically without frequent recalibration.
• Improved End-Product Quality: Essential for high-precision printing, laminating, and coating.
