Importance of Sensors in Web Guiding Systems

In this episode of our webinar series on web guiding fundamentals, we dive into the critical role of sensors in web guiding systems. Learn about various sensor terminologies such as range, resolution, accuracy, and linearity, and understand the importance of accurate measurement for effective control. We discuss different sensor technologies including infrared, optical, and ultrasonic, and explore the challenges they face including issues with temperature drift and material properties. Discover why precise sensing is essential for guiding performance in web handling applications.

Introducing ODC 960

Roll-2-Roll Technologies is proud to announce the introduction of their latest product, the ODC 960 sensor. Boasting a sensing range of 37.8 inches and a resolution of 0.005" or 0.127 mm, the ODC 960 sets a new industry standard for wide-range sensors, providing unparalleled precision for converters seeking the utmost accuracy in their converting applications.

Roll-2-Roll® Sensors: How it works and what are the applications?

The webinar will cover sensing and measurement technology that are used in Roll-2-Roll® Sensors.

The presentation will cover:

  • the fundamental working principle of the patented fiber optic technology
  • how it differs from the conventional sensors
  • benefits of the fiber optic technology
  • application of the fiber optic sensor technology for sensing and measurement applications such as edge detection, width measurement, registration mark detection, flag detection, void/hole detection, tear detection, etc.

Pneumo-Hydraulic Web Guides

What are Pneumo-Hydraulic Web Guides?

Many displacement guides, steering guides, unwind / rewind guides manufactured in the 1960’s, 1970's, 1980’s and 1990's were controlled using both pneumatic and hydraulic control systems which are often referred to as pneumo-hydraulic web guides. These web guide were really common before the mass adoption of the electronic (analog and digital) controllers and electric actuators. A lot of these units were predominant in blown film lines, extrusion lines, flexographic printing presses and even in paper converting machines.
