Precision Alignment for Consistent Packaging Performance
Correct former alignment plays a vital role in maintaining packaging quality, reducing waste and ensuring reliable machine performance. Even small changes in the positioning of a forming tube can lead to issues such as creasing, inconsistent back seals, poor pack presentation and unnecessary production downtime.
At KENRAY, we understand the importance of precision throughout the packaging process. Our Alignment Jigs are designed to provide a practical and reliable way to check, maintain and restore the correct positioning of forming equipment, helping manufacturers achieve consistent results across their production lines.
By making alignment checks easier and more consistent, KENRAY Alignment Jigs can help reduce avoidable production issues, minimise downtime and support the long-term performance of forming equipment.
Explore our range of alignment jigs below and discover how KENRAY can help your packaging line Perform Better.
Side Drive Alignment Jig
The KENRAY Side Drive Alignment Jig is designed to ensure accurate positioning of the forming tube, allowing the back-seal area to align correctly with the sealing bar while maintaining alignment of the side flats.
Originally used as a manufacturing tool, the jig is also a valuable addition to factory maintenance procedures, allowing operators to carry out periodic checks to ensure the forming tube remains correctly positioned.
If a former requires resetting or realignment, the jig provides a reliable reference point for checking its position before it is reinstalled on the packaging machine.
It is particularly useful in production environments where forming equipment is regularly removed for cleaning, inspection or maintenance, helping operators confirm correct alignment before restarting production.
Front Drive Alignment Jig
The KENRAY Front Drive Alignment Jig is designed for forming equipment where the drive system is positioned at the front rather than the side.
It enables accurate alignment from top to bottom and side to side, helping ensure the forming tube is correctly positioned in relation to the machine’s drive system.
Using the same principles as the Side Drive Alignment Jig, it provides a practical method for checking positioning, identifying misalignment and supporting adjustments during manufacturing, maintenance or reinstallation.
By helping operators maintain consistent former positioning, the Front Drive Alignment Jig supports reliable packaging performance and reduces the risk of alignment-related production issues.
Douglas Alignment Jig
The KENRAY Douglas Alignment Jig is a compact but important tool designed to support accurate positioning of the forming tube and PTFE strip.
Correct positioning of these components is essential for maintaining back-seal alignment and reducing the risk of creasing and other packaging defects.
The jig provides operators with a practical way to check positioning and make necessary adjustments, helping ensure the forming equipment is correctly aligned before production begins.
