Like Every AccuWeb® Guide Component,
the AccuGuide PDG-FS Series are Built to Last.

 



for Wide Web Applications

The PDG-PS Series web guide
assemblies are a cost effective
solution for narrow web applications.

The AccuGuide PDG-PS Series, part of AccuWeb’s complete line of Positive Displacement Guide systems, are engineered for ease of use and dependability. These compact, formed steel guides are cost effective systems that deliver reliable performance. Three or more proprietary linear bearings support and secure the moving frame and idler roller assembly to its stationary base. This unique linear bearing system allows the guide assembly to be installed in a vertical, horizontal or inverted position for optimum application performance.

Free-turning Idler Rollers — Free-running bearings minimize rotational torques – ideal for running light webs. Dynamically balanced rolls ensure vibration-free performance.

Specific models
designed for retrofits

• Projected Pivot Point — The unique bearing system is designed to position the pivot point exactly on the incoming web plane to ensure guide accuracy.

An AccuWeb® System is a Sound Investment

• Tangible Benefits — While web guides represent a nominal expense within an entire converting line, they can have considerable impact on product quality, process waste, operating speeds, efficiency and maintenance costs. Choosing a web guide system that delivers optimum trouble-free performance is a wise investment.
• The Support of Web Guide Experts — The AccuWeb application engineering team helps you determine the best guide design and location to fit your specific converting operation. By evaluating your web widths, materials and change-over frequencies, as well as operating environment, AccuWeb helps ensure greater harmony between our innovative guide components and your web converting process for an optimum return on your investment.

 

A Modular Design For Drop-in
Installation

A PDG is the most common and accurate way to guide a web. It requires relatively small entry and exit spans. The moving frame pivots on the incoming web plane to guide the web to its desired position. The AccuGuide PDG-PS Series are engineered for web widths ranging from 2" (51 mm) to 16" (406 mm).
