Slitting lines
Review centering at the decoiler feeding the slitter.
Retrofit web guiding · United States
Keep strip centered before it reaches your process.
Avenor reviews retrofit web guiding systems that measure material position and adjust the decoiler to help maintain center alignment on existing coil processing lines.

Applications for review
One retrofit concept. Evaluated against your line.
Cut-to-length lines
Assess strip position as material enters the CTL process.
Coil polishing and finishing
Check whether decoiler movement can support tracking into the finishing section.
Other continuous strip lines
Review line geometry, controls and mechanical arrangement before confirming fit.
The system is intended for continuous strip processes with a suitable decoiler or guiding mechanism. Coil storage, cranes and transport equipment are not assumed to be compatible.
How it works
Start at the material path and the existing machine.
The retrofit is reviewed around the installed line, operating conditions and controls. Avenor confirms the engineering basis before defining scope, price and schedule.
Measure
Measuring bars read material width and position relative to the line center.
Display and set
The PLC and HMI present position, width, operating status and alarms.
Adjust
The control system commands decoiler movement through the approved hydraulic interface.
Commission
Installation, startup and acceptance criteria are defined for the specific project.
System concept
From strip measurement to automatic correction.
The diagrams illustrate the sensing and decoiler-positioning concept. Final controls, HMI language, mechanical interfaces and performance criteria are engineered and branded for each AVENOR project.
Project design basis
Performance is defined against the customer’s line.
AVENOR does not publish a single universal rating for a retrofit system. Compatibility, correction travel, accuracy and response are confirmed after reviewing the installed machine and operating range.
- Material range
- Confirmed from customer coil and strip data
- Width and thickness
- Engineered for the verified operating envelope
- Line speed
- Reviewed with dynamics, sensor response and actuator travel
- Centering performance
- Defined through measurable project acceptance criteria
- Mechanical interface
- Verified against decoiler base, travel and available space
- Controls interface
- Integrated with the approved PLC, safety and hydraulic architecture
Final compatibility and performance depend on line layout, material, speed, available space, mechanical condition, hydraulics and controls.
