The purpose of the tenter rail guider is to adjust position of the tenter entry rails, so the fabric entering the tenter frame can be properly attached to its clips or pins, The Tenter Rail Guider model TG-2 consists of:
- Two ES-2 edge sensors, for sensing fabric’s both selvages.
- Two drive units, one for each rail, for transversal rail movement.
- Two rail hinge limit switches, one for each rail, for preventing rail damage.
- One control cabinet, including: an edge sensor signal processor, two servo drives and a power supply.
- Two operator’s push-button stations, one for each rail
