Picture ekr 500 digital Controller Intended Use

The ekr 500 digital is a micro processor
controlled web guiding controller with
removable control panel. It can be used
for web edge guiding (guiding to the
right or left web edge), web center-line
guiding as well as line and contrast
guiding. The web guiding controller is
intended for the installation in another
machine or for the merge with other
machines to a machine in accordance
with Council Directive 2006/42/EC
(Machinery Directive).

Note: For installation, commissioning and

operation, please refer to the separate
installation and operating manual.
