Air Guides
No electricity! No electronics! No hydraulics!
Easy to install and simple to operate, these systems are remarkably accurate and extremely responsive.
That’s why so many different converting applications today use Coast Controls web guides.
Plus, every All-Air web guide is backed by an unprecedented 10-Year Warranty … and every web guiding application is guaranteed to the customer’s complete satisfaction.
There are 4 basic types of Web Guiders Applications:
- Steering Guides
- Displacement Guides
- Unwind Guides
- Rewind Guides
Steering Guides
Typically used in applications with long, free-entering spans such as extrusion lines, drying ovens, envelope manufacturing, etc. Click here to view more
Displacement Guides
Typically positioned where there are space limitations and web accuracy is needed prior to a converting process (printing, slitting, laminating, coating, etc.)

Unwind Guides
Coast Controls Unwinders provide accurate edge alignment for unwinding rolls of material at the beginning stage of a process.
Lateral stand movement is power by a 6” or 8” diameter air cylinder with a 4” or 6” stroke. These manufactured guides evolved to replace existing stationary roll stands that would not otherwise lend themselves to automatic guiding applications.
These machines are most commonly used in industries such as paper, pharmaceutical, and food packaging.
Coast has three base models of unwinding guides designed for various types of web material and loads up to 7,500 lbs. Click here to view more
Rewind Guides
Somewhat similar to the unwind guide, we design our rewinders to evenly wind-up rolls of web material using a laterally shifting roll stand, powered by a 6” or 8” air cylinder.
An airflow sensor detects the web’s edge for misalignment, sending a signal to the controller, which sends a signal to activate the pneumatic actuator, thus shifting the roll stand to the properly aligned position.
We can retrofit existing electric or hydraulic rewind stands with our low-pressure air-powered systems.
Our rewind guides come in three base models, all created for various types of weights and web material weighing up to 7,500 lbs. Click here to view more
