Abstract

A web support assembly for a moving web of substrate material includes a base having a primary support arm pivotally mounted thereto so as to be displaceable from a first position to a second position. The web support assembly includes a first biasing member in mechanical communication with the primary support arm. The first biasing member operates to impart a first biasing force to the primary support arm so as to move it from its first position to its second position. The system includes a dancer arm which is pivotally mounted to the primary support arm so as to be displaceable from a first position to a second position relative primary support arm. The web support assembly further includes a second biasing member in mechanical communication with the dancer arm. The second biasing member operates to impart a second biasing force to the dancer arm so as to move it from its first position to its second position. A roller is rotatably supported on the dancer arm. The roller is configured to engage a portion of the web. The web support assembly operates to maintain continuous contact between the roller and the moving web of substrate material as it passes through a multi-station processing system.
