‘We took the Fife-500, which has been an industry favorite for more than a decade and asked our customers what they wanted in a next-generation guiding system,’ said Darren Irons, global product manager for Fife and MAGPOWR. ‘Our biggest takeaway was that our customers want robust networking options, like Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, CC-Link and more. We were able to pack in these features at a lower price point as our previous Fife-500, giving our customers more features and ultimately more value.’
Featuring a five-inch touchscreen interface with multiple languages, newly designed sensors, a smoother 8-pole motor for better guiding at slow speeds and an all-new modern design, the Fife-500 Max ushers in the next-generation of guiding from Fife, the company that invented the first web guide back in 1939. The Fife-500 Max can accommodate web widths up to 600mm, with Maximum tension up to 400 N. Fife will be releasing larger sizes of the Fife-500 Max, up to 900mm and 800 N, in Q4 of 2022.
