Web Handling Roll Alignment refers to the precise positioning of a web of material as it moves through web handling system, such as a printing press, laminating machine or converting line. This is achieved by aligning the rolls of the machine so they are parallel, level and square to each other and perpendicular to the web path.

Proper roll alignment is critical for maintaining consistent quality and avoiding production problems.
Unlike traditional alignment methods using a straight edges, or dial indictors, Rotatek field engineers utilize state-of-the-art 3D laser trackers for unparalleled accuracy, precision and measurement acquisition time.
Web handling roll alignment is a complex process that requires careful planning, attention to detail and highly skilled operators in order to achieve accurate, reliable results in a timely and efficient manner.
Laser trackers operate by measuring two angles and a distance. The tracker sends a laser beam to a retroreflective target held against the object being measured. As light is reflected off the target, it bounced back and re-enters the tracker at the same position it left and is measured by a distance meter, measuring the distance between the tracker and target.
