In this video we show how quick and easy it is to install an ARIS Web Guiding System. Unpack the box and lay down all the components such as the cables, web guide mechanism, the web position sensor and power supply. The compact web guiding system is pre-wired for easy installation. All that is required is a single allen wrench tool to fasten the web guide to your machine frame using the mounting holes at the bottom of the web guide.

We even provide the 6 millimeter mounting screws with spacers to make it really quick and easy for you. Carefully unscrew the four mounting screws and spacers from the web guide. Place the four spacers over the pre-drilled mounting plate on your machine. Carefully set the web guide over the spacers paying attention to the direction of travel of the web.

Use an allen wrench to securely mount the web guide onto your machine frame. The compact and lightweight design of our web guiding system makes it easier for quick installation on your machine. The mounting holes also provide the necessary electrical grounding of the web guiding system if the machine frame is properly grounded. Please refer to our user manual for more information about grounding.

Next mount the web position sensor on the aluminum rails already mounted on the web guide. Use the thumbscrews to secure the sensor to a desired position. Using the 12 pin DIN connector on the sensor cable, connect the sensor to the web guiding system Make sure to thread the sensor connector all the way through to secure it in place. Next connect the power to the web guiding system using a pre configured power supply.

Once the web guide powers ON set it to automatic control and the web guide is ready for operation. NO other setup or calibration is required. The intelligent control system takes care of the rest of the settings for the sensor and the controller. We have spent the time on R&D so that you save every minute of your valuable time.

That’s how quick and easy it is to install our guide. All in less than 7 minutes. For more information please contact us.

our web guiding system ARIS features the latest in web guiding technology it adapts to any material, requires no calibration and is very simple to setup. Now it features a comprehensive guiding sensor that can be used in any kind of sensing including edge, line, contrast, composite or layered web detection. In this video we use two web guides as a test machine to introduce several speeds and disturbance frequencies. One web guide creates a disturbance while the other correct this disturbance.

This test allows us to evaluate how our machine adjust to these different disturbances. This video shows contrast guiding of composite web where the web is guided based on a die cut of the label. Our web guides can work with continuous or intermittent lines or contrasted edge. Our edge sensor detects the web position of any materials used without the need for manual adjustments.

A previous version of our sensor used a reflection of infrared light to take a picture of the edge of the material. These pictures and processed using digital signal processing algorithms to accurately sense the true position of the material irrespective of its physical properties. The updated version is more comprehensive and uses white light to take a picture of the web materials and in the line detection mode, the sensor can handle a solid or intermittent line or even in contrast between two materials. As you can see this video, the web guide is unaffected by missing labels.

Our tests have shown our sensor technology works automatically with materials of varying contrast. The use of fiber-optic technology eliminates a need for focusing and eliminates need for calibration and set-up. There are details on these experiments available in our white papers. You can find a link in our description below.

our web guidance system RS features the latest in web garden technology in adapts to any material requires no calibration and it is very simple to setup our technology allows the sensor to be material agnostic this means ours accurately detects the web edge position of any materials used without the need for manual adjustments our SS sensor technology works differently than any other currently available sensor in the market it uses the reflection of infrared light to take a picture of the edge of the material this pictures and processed using digital signal processing algorithms to accurately sense the true position of the material irrespective of its physical properties other sensors use a blocking technique where the web is used the block light sounder air since the amount of blocking depends on the material properties the current sensing technology is less accurate with porous or transparent materials ultimately the web Guardian performance is affected by the inaccurate sensor measurement in addition to sensing capabilities ours communicates intelligently with the sensor watch the screen as we show how the sensor communicates with ours a green web detected indicator will verify that the edge is detected by the sensor if the sensor is not connected properly or if the edges outside the window the indicator will not really about the icons you will see a material edge position indicator when the material is in the correct position you will see one red bar and one green bar the green bar indicates the metal portion of the sensor and ideally the web should be in the green bar region if it's incorrectly positioned you will either see no green bar or you will see red bars on both sides of the green if the sensor is not within the measurable distance then the material edge position indicator will be grave the sensor position indicator on either side of the web guide picture shows the position of the sensor with respect to the guide if the sensor indicator does not register the sensor on a correct side of the web or the green bars is white on the wrong side of the web press the find sensor to automatically register at the sensor position indicator to make it simple and foolproof the intelligence and ours can work irrespective of the sensor position as long as the web is inside the sensing window if no sensor is connected or if the sensor is faulty none of the position indicators will be lit when the sensor has plugged back in ours will automatically register the correct sensor position find out more about Aras and our sensors using the link in our description below

The video shows ARIS guiding a burlap web at different frequencies and a web speed of 4.26 meter per second. Using a two guide test machine, we will show you several speeds and several disturbance frequencies that are introduced to evaluate the performance of ARIS when it handles burlap, a non-porous material. Watch the red laser to see difference of the controller when its on vs when its off. As a porous material, burlap presents a special challenge because current sensing technology is not able to handle the gaps between the threads of the material.

The image processing in the sensing technology in ARIS allows it to detect the edges of a porous material. You can find a link for more information in our description below

ARIS is an intelligent guiding system that uses a revolutionary fiber optic sensing technology technology to actually measure and control what position this video gives you a closer look to their frequency response performance of our 254 mm web guide from 1 hz to 9 hz. We have a whitepaper on our website that gives more details about the frequency response information. You can find a link for more information in our description below.

ARIS is an intelligent guiding system that uses a revolutionary fiber optic sensing technology to accurately measure web position. In this video, we use a two guide test machine to introduce several speeds and disturbance frequencies. One machine creates the disturbance, while one corrects this disturbance This test lets us evaluate how our machine adjusts to these disturbances. Watch the red laser to difference between when the controller is off vs when it’s on.

As a real plug-and-play system, ARIS adapts to any material, requires no calibration, and very little set-up time. First plug in the sensor to the 12 prong outlet in the back of the machine, using the guide notch that aligns the plug to the outlet. Once the sensor is plugged in, tighten the lock collar to hold the sensor cord in place. Slide the sensor into the sensor guide rail.

Make sure the middle of the sensor is aligned with the material’s edge. Once connected to a 24 volt power supply, the user operator interface featuring language independent icons will come. A green sensor indicator will verify an operable sensor. Above the icons you will see the material edge, position indicator, represented by a green and red bars.

When the material is in correct position, you will see one red bar and one green bar. If it's incorrectly placed, you will either see no green bar or red bars on both sides of the green. Once the sensor has been aligned with web, secure the sensor using the thumb screws. When the screen turns on, the automatic/manual icon will indicating the guides last operating condition.

A green icon indicates the guide is in automatic operation. A red icon indicates the guide is in manual operation. The operator can change the condition by pressing the icon once. ARIS does most of the work through its automatic option, so press the icon to set to green and let it roll.

Today we want to show a feature in our web guides that allows for guide point adjustment We can do a fine guide point adjustment or a gross guide point adjustment without having to physically move the sensor The adjustment can be made on the operator interface by just sliding our finger across the screen In a previous video we talked about the fine guide point adjustment and today we want to go over the gross point adjustment For that we have to go to the operator interface screen, and there is a black bar on the screen and all you have to do is slide your finger across the black bar and it will move the guide point After that you will need to hit accept and the guide point will be set Unless you hit the accept button after moving the guide point, the system will not register the change in guide point If by mistake you touch the screen and move the guide point, the guide point will return to its original setting unless you hit the accept icon This is just another of our features on our web guides available in the control unit version 2.4 which is standard in all our web guides since June 2017 Fine and gross guide point adjustment, something we believe will be very beneficial for any converting operation Visit our website at www.r2r-tech.com for more information on all these features
