Modern production machines for the processing and
converting of web-type materials (for instance in the
printing industry), work at speeds which were unimag-
inable only a few years ago. However this development
must not be made at the expense of product quality.
No company can afford the waste resulting from even
minimum deviations from the default web position.
BST web guiding systems ensure precise web feed for a
wide range of materials in all kinds of production pro-
cesses. Waste and down times are kept to a minimum.
Make full use of your machine speed we will make
sure that everything is kept in line.

I am always being asked why
web guiding is necessary.
Webs of material guided by rollers tend
to move sideways off the correct track.
Among other things this leads to print
no longer appearing where it should
and to webs not being rewound
accurately.
This is where web guiding comes into
play. It keeps the material in a defned
position and guarantees an exact input
feed into the production process even
at highest processing speeds.
To summarize: web guiding ensures an
accurate running of the web where it
would otherwise wobble and shake.
On the following pages you can fnd all
the components which you need for a
wide range of requirements.
Types of guiding
The type of guiding is dependent on the degree of web processing.
Untreated webs can only be guided to the web edge or web center-
line, as there are no other contrasting characteristics available.
Finished webs, on the other hand, offer more possibilities, for instance
printed lines or other freely selectable contrasts. The scanning of the
web position is made using analogue or digital sensors.
The BST control circuit
The scope and level of automation of web guiding sys-
tems differ from application to application. Regardless
of this, every guiding system can be reduced to the
principle of the simple closed control circuit.
The starting point is the current position of
the web of material.
The guiding device corrects the position of
the web of material precisely and without
any delay.
One or more sensors scan the actual posi-
tion of the web and transmit this informa-
tion to the commander.
The commander compares the actual po-
sition measured to the specifed desired
value. If there is a difference it transmits a
correction signal to the guiding device.
Web edge guiding
Guiding to the left or right
web edge using one edge
sensor.
Web center-line guiding
Guiding to the web center-
line using two edge sensors.
Contrast guiding
Guiding to a continuous or
interrupted printed line or
contrast edge.

The ekrPro family of digital commanders combine a
compact design and an innovative CAN bus architec-
ture with a simple operation.
Totaleaseofuse
All members of the ekrPro family are characterised by
their ease of installation and their clearly arranged
control elements.
After selecting the connected components (sensors,
actuator, etc.) in the Set-Up menu all relevant control
parameters are automatically adjusted.
In this way only the control function (automatic, manu-
al or center position) and the guiding mode (guiding
to the left or right web edge, web center-line guiding)
need to be selected by the operator.
State-of-the-arttechnologyinthesmallestspace
The compact design of the commanders allows their
direct installation onto/into the guiding device.
All-purposeapplications
The large number of components which can be con-
nected guarantees an optimum adjustment to your
individual requirements. All commanders have connec-
tions for various kinds of sensors (ultrasonic, infrared,
line and refection sensors as well as CCD cameras) and
actuators with different performance levels (with and
without position feedback).
Networking
The commanders within the ekrPro family are ftted
with a CAN bus interface as standard.
This has the following advantages:
- Safe and quick data transfer
- Internal commander networking
- Connection to various bus systems via BST interface
modules (external networking)
- Problem-free connection to superior systems
(PLC or PC) via suitable gateways

The members of
the ekrPro family:

ekrPro Net
Commander without keyboard, for possible
applications in places which are diffcult to
reach.
It is operated using the ekrPro Com or an
external ekrPro Key keyboard.
Commanders
Quick and accurate signal processing
for perfect guiding results

The commander is the central con-

trol station of the web guiding system,
comparable with the human brain.
So that the brain, or commander, can
work correctly it requires information:
What should the sensors be scanning, the
web edge or some means of contrast?
What is the correct position of the web
which can be taken as a standard for the
guiding process?
Once this information is stored the guid-
ing process can start. The device re-
ceives the actual web position measured
by the sensors and compares this
with the set value. If the com-
mander recognises a deviation
from this standard it sends
a correction signal to the
actuator of the guiding
device and the position er-
ror is compensated.
A simple but powerful
system!

ekr 500compact,simple,clearlyarranged
The functions of this cost-effective commander are
designed to meet the standard requirements of web
guiding. This makes the ekr 500 particularly user-
friendly, as the effort required for set-up and operation
is minimal.
The compact design of the commander and the detach-
able operating keyboard allow easy use, even when
installing in places on the machine which are diffcult
to reach.
All relevant data, such as web position, sensor co-
verage and position of the actuator, are graphical-
ly displayed on the clear LC display.

Ultrasonic sensors
The scanning of the web edge is carried out contact-
less by ultrasonic waves.
Sensors
The right scanning system
for each type of material
On the next two pages you will
meet the eyes of our web guiding sys-
tem - the sensors.
Just as the human eye is continuously ob-
taining information and passing it on to
the brain, sensors continuously register
the position of the web of material and
transmit the relevant signals to the com-
mander.
Of course, while this is being done there
can be no contact with the web, because
otherwise this would lead to damage to
the web edge or surface. The non-contact
scanning is done with sensors which, for
instance, can see using infrared light,
ultrasonics or a light-sensitive CCD chip.
The types shown here are completed by
line and refection sensors for the scan-
ning of lines and contrast edges.
Which sensor is used in which specifc case
depends on the material used, the area of
application and the environmental condi-
tions.
My colleagues would welcome the oppor-
tunity to assist you.
Infrared
sensors
Non-contact
scanning of the
web edge is carried
out by infrared light.
PropertiesofBSTultrasonicsensors:
- Insensitive to dirt and changes in the transparency
of the material
- No changes to the measured values through
futter of the web in the sensor scanning area
- Large proportional scanning band permits web
center-line guiding even for relatively large web
width variations
- Compensation for any interference which may
be caused by external sound sources or other
environmental infuences
Areasofapplication:
- Materials with dust or fuff-like deposits
- Films with a variable level of transparency
- Light-sensitive materials
PropertiesofBSTinfraredsensors:
- Pulsed infrared light
(insensitive to external light sources)
- No infuence on the measurements
by futter of the web within the
light path
- Automatic contamination message
- Optional connection for air-driven cleaning
protects the lens against contamination
from paper, dust or other contaminants
Areasofapplication:
- Transparent and non-transparent materials
- Thick materials

Digital sensors
The non-contact scanning of the web of material is
carried out by detecting contrasts in light conditions.
In doing this a CCD camera can recognise up to eight
contrast transitions.
PropertiesoftheBSTdigitalsensors:
- Resolution of up to 30,000 pixels by a micro-
processor controlled CCD chip
- Adaptation of the viewing range to the specifc
application by selecting from a range of different
lenses
- Adjustment of the camera parameters as a result
of the change of material parameters with the
machine running (no changeover time required)
- Quick set-up and camera alignment via an
integrated graphic display
- Simple operation using standard integrated
automatic functions (for example, the removal
of interfering contrasts, compensation for
contamination, white balance, and storage of
the set-up values)
- The production and adjustment parameters can
be transmitted more quickly and more securely by
networking via the BST bus system
Areasofapplication:
Because of its large scanning area the CCD camera
is particularly suitable for:
- Digital scanning of web edges, printed edges
or printed lines
- Web center-line guiding
- Web width measurement
- Control of tools or other machines
(for example, tracing of cutting knives, etc.)

Electric-motor-driven actuators

Electric-motor-driven actuators are used where
very quick reaction to changes in the web positi-
on are required.
The actuator can be connected both directly to
the commander or via a module (for high actu-
ating forces).
The ready-to-ft design means that assembly
is quick and cost-effcient, in particular where
retroftting to existing equipment.
Where there is little space for ftting we offer
actuators with a space-saving design.
PropertiesoftheBSTelectric-motor-driven
actuators:
- Wear-resistant DC motors for low and
medium-range actuating forces
- AC motors for high actuating forces
(connection via a power module)
- Ball screw spindle drives with a minimum
of axial play and high durability
- Designed for curved and linear correcting
movements
- Various combinations of actuation paths,
force and speed are possible
- Available with and without position feedback
(precise register of the current position
of the actuator)
- Maintenance-free
Actuators
High-performance position control,
fexible areas of application
Hydraulic actuators

Hydraulic actuators are suitable for medium to high
actuating forces due to their sturdy design.
They can also be used in hazardous areas.
They are most commonly used for the movement of
heavy masses, for example for the direct control of
unwinding and rewinding units in reel slitters and
laminating systems.
Hydraulic actuators consist of a supply unit and a
hydraulic cylinder.
PropertiesofBSThydraulicactuators:
- Designed for curved and linear
correcting movements
- Adjustment of cylinder diameter
and stroke to the required actuating
force and speed
- Use of hydraulic cylinders from leading
international manufacturers
11
Now I would like to introduce you
to the muscle which gets the corrective
process moving the actuator.
Using its power it moves the guiding
device into the position determined by
the commander.
The movement can be made both by using
an electric-motor-driven or hydraulic
actuator.
The critical factor for the selection of the
actuator is the actuating force required.
A further criterion is the environment in
which the web guiding system is intend-
ed to be used.
In the rubber industry, for example, hy-
draulic oil is not welcome, as it can chan-
ge material properties. On the other
hand, in explosion-proof areas, a hydrau-
lic actuator is often preferred.
In this case advice is what its all about.
Make use of the experience of my BST
colleagues who will select the best solu-
tion for your application.
Performance data

Use the actuators together with our guiding devices to
cover a wide range of web guiding tasks.
We offer electric-motor-driven actuators with actu-
ating forces of 80 N to 9,900 N and a stroke of 20 mm
to 350 mm in designs both with and without position
feedback.
The actuating forces of our hydraulic units range up to
20,000 N for varying strokes.

Rotating frame guide (DF)
The BST rotating frame guide is comprised of a fxed
lower frame and a rotating upper frame, whose pivot
is located on the infeed of the web.
An incoming web path error causes the upper frame
to rotate around its pivot point to move the web of
material into a defned position on the next guiding
roller.
This guiding device is used if the web path must be
corrected within a short distance and a minimum of
material stress. Further advantages are the variable
installation positions and the low actuating forces re-
quired. The BST rotating frame guide is thus partic-
ularly suitable for web tension sensitive materials.
Functional principle of the rotating frame guide
Guiding Devices
Precise correction of the web path
in any mounting position
On the previous page you
met the muscle of our web guiding system.
It moves the guiding device which is what
I would now like to introduce you to.
The guiding device is the hand which
the web guiding system uses to make
the physical corrections to the web path.
It becomes active if the web position devi-
ates from the set position. It corrects the
web position, moved by the actuator until
the desired position has been reached.
The following factors are critical for the
selection of the most suitable guiding de-
vice for your application:
- Web width
- Web tension force
- Material (permissible stress)
- Available installation space on
the machine
All types of BST guiding devices may of
course be supplied in various sizes.
CompactGuide Precisewebguidingwith
minimalspace
Engineered for precise control of narrow webs in the
label, packaging, and non-woven industries, the high-
ly compact design of the CompactGuide allows for
easy ft onto production machines with minimal space
and effort.
The controller and actuator of the compact web guide
have been cleverly integrated into the housing to save
space. Operation of the guide is done via the unique
operator control panel. Mounted directly on the face
of the CompactGuide housing in the standard confgu-
ration, it is easily removed and mounted on your ma-
chine in the location best suited for the operator. The
entire guide is engineered for fast installation with
minimal effort. Install, connect, produce!

Functional principle of the swivel roll guide
Swivel roll guide (SF)
The BST swivel roll guide consists of a fxed lower frame
and a moveable upper frame, with one or two guiding
rollers. The upper frame moves around an imaginary
pivot located on the infeed side outside the guiding
device. With incoming web path error, the guiding de-
vice swivels out to the side and thus transfers the out-
going web into a defned position on the next idler.
The correction is already made in the infeed area.
The functional principle of this guiding device requires
adequate long infeed and exit paths.
Swivel roll guides are used where installation space is
limited, the required threading of the web does not
allow the use of a rotating frame guide or where the
web is continually drifting away to the side (integral
correction).
Preferred ftting positions:
15
Turning bar
The turning bar is used wherever a 90 turn in the
direction of the web is required, together with some
adjustment of the web alignment.
The turning bar is installed at an angle of 45 to both
the infeed and outfeed direction of the web.
The web winds itself around the turning bar 180 and
leaves the guiding device at right-angles to the infeed
position.
To correct the web path at the same time the turning
bar is moved across the outfeed direction (in other
words in line with the infeed direction) according to
the guiding signal.
In order to avoid material stress BST turning bars can
be supplied with an optional air connection which
puts a protective air cushion between the turning bar
and the web.

Controlled unwind and
rewind guiding systems
As a rule, material is delivered in rolls for the web
processing industry. It is unwound for processing, fed
through the production process and rewound at
the end of the machine. During these processes
there is often a lateral offset of the web, for example
caused by lopsided winding or poorly adjusted rolls.
BST unwind and rewind systems prevent this.
Controlled unwind guiding
In the unwind system the sensor is ftted on the
machine frame and the desired web position is fxed
from there. Movements in web position caused by
lopsided unwinding are compensated for by an
equivalent lateral displacement of the unwind stand.
Thus the material is accurately fed into the machine.
Controlled rewind guiding
In the rewind system the sensor is located on the
rewind stand and the desired position is fxed from
there. The rewind stand is guided to follow the
incoming web. As a result, rolls have straight edges.

If the position of the sensor is diffcult to reach or if
the sensing position has to be changed frequently due
to varying web widths, a sensor positioning device
(FVG) will take over the adjustment of the sensor posi-
tion. Both automatic electric-motor-driven systems and
manual positioning devices are available, depending
on the requirements.
Accessories
Practical add-ons
for special applications
Motorized sensor positioning
Sensor positioning device FVGPro 1/K; SP/K-1
The basic version of the motorized sensor positioning
device enables easy positioning of one sensor.
It is used for web edge guiding.
Sensor positioning device FVGPro 1/MK; SP/MK-1
This type allows the simultaneous positioning of two
sensors.
It is used for web center-line guiding with a fxed web
center-line.
The position of the sensors is adjusted by one common
drive. The sensors are moved in a reverse motion sym-
metrically to the center of the web.
Sensor positioning device FVGPro 2/MK
This sensor positioning device has two sensor attach-
ments and two separate drives.
In this way both sensors can be adjusted independently
of each other.
This unit is suitable for both web edge guiding and
web center-line guiding. Web movement over the en-
tire range is possible using synchronous drive control.
Use is also recommended for eccentric (half) webs.
The electric-motor-driven systems are controlled either
by the commander (FVGPro series) or by remote control
(SP series). Using these systems either one or two sen-
sors can be adjusted together or individually. Thanks
to their compact design, the sensor positioning devices
can be integrated directly into the guiding device.

So far I have shown you the
individual components of a BST web
guiding system and now I would like to
present some products from our range of
accessories.
Certain web guiding processes con-
tinuously repeat themselves. Others
vary from application to application.
Our accessories, such as sensor position-
ing devices or oscillation systems simplify
routine work, save time and help
you optimize productivity and
quality.
Electronic remote precision
adjustment (EFE)

Depending on the conditions surrounding the machine
or the production demands, it may be necessary to
adjust the web position far from the guiding device.
The electronic remote precision adjustment allows the
correction of the web position from any place on the
machine.
EFE 1,
analogue
Manual sensor positioning device

This cost-effective device permits the manual lateral
adjustment of the sensor position for varying web
widths.
The sensitive and smooth positioning allows a correc-
tion to the desired web position while the machine is
running.
EFE 1000,
digital
Oscillation

Oscillation enables the controlled lateral displacement
of the web of material with an adjustable amplitude
(size of the movement) and frequency (speed of the
movement). This functionality is either available
as the principle shown above, or by means of
two independent moveable sensors with an
electronic overlay.
Oscillation is mainly used for rewinding
of tubular flms or for materials
with an irregular thickness
profle in order to avoid
poor winding.

We have a number of special gateways available for
connecting our web guiding systems to all common bus
systems (CAN bus, EtherNet, Profbus-DP, DeviceNet).
In this way we always have the suitable interface for
integration of our web guiding system into your
machine or control system.
Using the BST feld bus you can obtain current data
from the entire system at all times, since the time-
critical process data are determined in real time.
If it is integrated into the operational process, the
BST feld bus system provides a valuable support to
existing quality assurance systems.

Digital communication is now an
important component in business
processes e-mail is just one example
of this.
So why shouldnt our web guiding system
components and your machine communi-
cate with each other digitally too?
The BST bus system ensures that all
elements understand each other, in other
words that data can
be exchanged quickly,
safely and without
loss.
Logic module BST ProLogic

For complex applications we offer the BST ProLogic
interface with a modular-design and its own comput-
ing unit (CPU).
The power of the BST ProLogic is that application
related software can be used to carry out demanding
tasks, such as the lamination/doubling processes in the
rubber and tire industry.
The basic unit of the logic module contains the inter-
face necessary for networking as well as for connecting
to all common feld bus terminals. The device has been
designed for incorporation into a control cabinet.
Add-on elements such as digital and analogue I/O
modules, enable the BST ProLogic to adapt perfectly
to a wide range of requirements, machines and
processes.
BST ProTouch input device

Complex processes must be able to be monitored and
controlled in a clear and simple manner.
The BST ProTouch input device serves as the central
interface between operator and machine, within net-
worked systems.
The BST ProTouch has an ergonomic touch screen user-
interface with plain text displays.
It is perfectly suited for incorporation into operator
consoles, control cabinets and control stations.

Rotating frame
guide design
The syntax of a rotating frame guide is defned as follows: DF A x D x L x C
It is composed of the following elements: DF = Rotating frame guide
A = Number of rollers
D = Diameter of the rollers
L = Length of the rollers
C = Correction span
The following information is necessary in order to design a BST web guiding system
with a rotating frame guide:
General data: - Machine type
- Manufacturer
- Mounting location within the machine
- Transparency of the web (clear as glass,
translucent, changeable, refective)
- Ambient conditions (normal, dirty, dusty)
- Ambient temperature
- Power supply

Guiding mode: - Web edge
- Web center-line
- Line
- Contrast
- Control voltage
- Operation mode (continuous, intermittent)
- Web speed
- Web tension at maximum width
- Thickness of the material
- Web width
- Variations in web width
- Maximum incoming error
- Elasticity modulus
C = Correction span
S
i
= Infeed span
