Adjustable Wire Guide Roller FAQ
Will the AR be compatible with my unit from a different manufacturer?
Yes! We have designed our AR wire guides to completely align with any comparable inlet guide and any machine to ensure your worn model is replaced with Sjogren quality, worry free.
If a standard option is not available, we have expert engineers that will design your custom AR guide to fit your production.
Why rollers on the roller guides?
Sliding wire causes more friction, and with friction comes marking.
The rollers allow the wire to roll, rather than slide, into or out of the machine, keeping friction at a minimum, and your wire and cable or flat stock in top shape.
What if our rollers seize?
Depending on your production and lubrication, it is possible that with time the rollers will get "gunked up".
Regular, planned preventive maintenance is essential to maintaining your roller guides.
They are built to last, and we are here to assist with troubleshooting and replacement as needed.
What are some common signs of wear to stay ahead of unplanned downtime?
Watch out for an amber color on your rolls. This indicated the temperature has reached 450 to 500°F/ 232°C to 260°C. This is a sign of bearing failure. Keep a thermometer nearby to check weekly on high-intensity productions.
Keep your lubricants at bay. Ensure a regular cleanup between new coils, or every shift to ensure longevity.
What do these AR guides cost?
Crafted from premium materials and engineered with precision, our products stand out for their durability, often outlasting typical wire guides by double.
The longevity and reliability of our products offer unmatched value. Additionally, we provide volume pricing on nearly all items, allowing you to benefit from cost efficiencies when ordering in bulk.
Our production process is optimized to reduce costs when manufacturing five or more units in a single run, and we share these savings with you.
