INTRODUCTION Product Overview

The ARIS web guiding system brings an innovative way of guiding the web to the converting industry; a guiding system that does not require any setup or manual recalibration after product changeovers. The technology in ARIS can adjust automatically to the physical characteristics of the web material, correctly positioning the material through the process.

ARIS is designed for the exclusive use in industrial and lab equipment that process materials in web form as they move through a converting or raw material manufacturing process. Web guides are installed inline with the flow of material through the process. The guide provides steering of the material to maintain lateral alignment at any point where such alignment is critical to the process.

The ARIS web guiding system is a simple, yet sophisticated plugandplay system that requires no adjustments. Once the guide has been properly installed and the sensor positioned with respect to the desired web position, it is just a matter of switching the guide to automatic mode.

The unique compact, aesthetic, and functional design makes it easy to install and operate. The sensor assembly is positioned directly under the roller so it does not protrude outside of the guide’s footprint.

There are three basic processes in the ARIS web guiding system: detection of the position of the web, processing of the information of web position, and correction of the web position.

Product Description The ARIS web guiding system has three major assemblies: the roller platform assembly, the control unit assembly, and the sensor assembly. Each assembly is maintenance free.

The roller platform assembly is composed of the grooved guide rollers, the roller assembly plate, and the installation bolts (Fig. 1).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The ARIS web guiding system is an electromechanical device that operates on low voltage. However, it does present a few safety requirements that must be followed in order to assure safe operation of the system.

Instructions for use The ARIS web guiding system must be properly transported and stored to avoid crushing of body parts . Only persons who have the necessary qualifications should work on the installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the web guiding system.

Notes: ● Please read the product manual and properly follow its instructions. ● Be aware of all national, state, and local requirements for accident prevention and environmental protection.

Proper use The ARIS web guiding system is made for indoor uses only. ARIS is designed for the exclusive use in industrial and lab equipment that process materials in web form as they move through a converting or raw material manufacturing process.

Improper use Any use outside the technical specifications shall be considered improper use of the web guiding system and voids any warranty of the equipment. Any replacement parts or modification necessaries should be made by Roll2Roll Technologies.

Pinch Points ● The roller assembly and the control unit assembly will present a gap between the two assemblies. This entire area must be considered a pinch point. The force of the actuator motor can cause damage to body parts due to crushing if these are caught in a pinch point. Additionally, the gap between the rollers and the roller

Content subject to change without notice

support plates must be considered a pinch point. The guide rollers are not powered and are only driven by the friction of the web on the rollers as the web travels over the rollers. However, while the material is threaded and transported over the guide rollers this creates pinch points between the web and the roller. Under no circumstance should the roller or the web be touched while the web is transported.

● Any installation, maintenance, or inspection work on or around the guide must be performed when the guide is turned off or unplugged. It is recommended that caution should be exercised when handling the guide under power to avoid having body parts caught in the pinch points.

● The complete guide assembly has an estimated weight between 22 lbs and 35 lbs depending on the model number. Care should be taken when handling the guide during shipping, transportation, or installation to avoid crushing of body parts or of other equipment from impact due to mishandling of the guide and to avoid personal injury. The web guide system should be securely and properly assembled before placing it in operation. Internal safety rules should be observed during the assembly process.

● ARIS web guiding system is an automatic control device that may stop and start at any time without notice. Hence standard safeguards must be in place to prevent any kind of injury.

Static discharges and grounding The electronic elements of the guide are sensitive to static discharges. Make sure that the guide assembly, the power supply, and the machine on which the guide operates is properly grounded to avoid shock.

OPERATOR INTERFACE

Operator Interface Screen The ARIS web guiding system operation is accomplished through the operator interface located on the side of the guide control box assembly. The interface uses a language independent icon based screen that allows ease of operation. Fig. 3 presents an image of the Operator Interface screen:

Fig. 3: ARIS Operator Interface (Manual Mode)

The interface is a touch screen panel. Never use sharp or pointed tools of any kind to operate the interface. Best practice is to have operators use their fingers to press the different icons for operation of the guide. Care must be taken to clean the touch screen surface periodically.

Its icon based design allows for a language independent operation without the need of translation of the screen for setup and operation in different countries.

Automatic/Manual Operation

Manual Automatic

The web guide can be put into manual or automatic operation mode by pressing this icon. The guide is in manual operation when the icon is red and is in automatic mode when the icon is green. When the guide is in manual mode and the icon is pressed, the guide will switch to automatic mode. When the guide is in automatic mode and the icon is pressed the guide will be put into manual mode. Changing from one mode to another can result in change in the web guide position causing process upsets. Caution must be exercised when changing the operating mode and should be done by those who completely understand the consequence of this change.

● The guide should be placed in manual operation during initial setup of the guide, or during routine maintenance of the production line. ● The guide must be placed in automatic operation when the production line is in production mode.

WARNING: No personnel should be manually handling the guide or the material around the guide when the guide is in automatic operation. Failure to follow this warning could result in crushing of body parts at pinch points around and within the web guiding system.

WARNING: Care must be taken that only one person is working on the guide when it is in manual operation. Failure to follow this warning could result in crushing of body parts at pinch points around and within the web guiding system.

A few icons on the operator interface changes as the guide is switched between manual and automatic mode based on the available options in each mode. Fig. 4 shows the operator interface while the web guiding system is in automatic mode.

Jogleft/Jogright Operation

Jogleft off Jogright off

Jogleft on Jogright on

The Jogleft/Jogright icons allow the operator to manually move the guide roller assembly to the left or to the right as needed. These operations can be performed only when the web guide is in manual operating mode. ● The Jogleft/Jogright operation icon indicates the operation is off when the icon is red.

● When the operator turns the Jogleft or Jogright ON by pressing the icon, the guide will start moving to the left or right position. The respective icon will turn green during the Jog operation and will turn back to red when the operation is stopped.

The Jog operation can be stopped at any time by pressing the respective icon any time during the jog. If the guide reaches the extreme position, the jog operation will stop automatically. This operation can only be performed when the guide is in manual setting.

The left position of the guide is defined as the left side of the guide if the operator is viewing the guide from the downstream position (facing the sensor). Similarly, the right position of the guide is defined as the right side of the guide if the operator is viewing the guide from the downstream position.

WARNING: JogLeft and JogRight operation can be performed only when the web guiding system is in manual mode. Pressing the icons during automatic operation will perform a different function.

WARNING: This is a manual procedure of the web guiding system. No personnel should be performing work on or around the guide during the jog procedure. Failure to follow

Content subject to change without notice

this warning could result in crushing of body parts at pinch points around and within the web guiding system.

Guide Point Adjustment

The guide point of the web guiding system (reference or the desired location of the web with respect to the sensor) is set to 50% of the sensing window of the sensor when shipped from the factory. In this setting the web will be guided to a position exactly in the middle of the sensing window. The guide point can be adjusted to a different location ranging from 25% to 75% of the sensing window. This setting is absolute irrespective of the sensor position. The current guide point setting is indicated by the guide point indicator as shown in Fig. 5.

Fig. 5: Guide Point Indicator The guide point can be adjusted by pressing the left () and right (+) arrow icons on the operator interface while the web guiding system is in automatic mode. Every single touch of the left or right icon will respectively decrease or increase the guide point by 5%. This change is immediately displayed by the guide point indicator. Pressing the middle icon (servocentering icon) will reset the guide point to 50%.

WARNING: Guide Point adjustment can be performed only when the web guiding system is in automatic mode. Pressing the icons during manual operation will perform a different function.

WARNING: Guide Point adjustment should be made only if it is necessary and should be carried out by personnel with good knowledge about the consequences of the change. The performance of the guiding system may deteriorate if the guide point is too far away from

Content subject to change without notice

the desired 50% setting. Some of the changes might have no effect if the web guide is in an extreme position.

Web Position Indicator

A horizontal bar graph indicator (see Fig. 6) is available on the operator interface to indicate the position of the web as seen by the sensor. Depending on the position and orientation of the sensor the bar graph may increase: ● from left to right for an edge sensor located on the right side of the guide ● from right to left for an edge sensor that is located on the left side of the guide.

The top web position indicator displays the right edge of the web and the bottom web position indicator indicates the left edge of the web. When two sensors (one left and one right) are connected or if a wide sensor is connected the edge position indicator may indicate both the left and the right edge of the web.

Fig. 6: ARIS Operator Interface

Web Detected Indicator

A small square indicator on the bottom left part of the screen (see Fig. 6) indicates the presence and absence of the web as seen by the sensor.

● Whenever the sensor sees a web or a web edge, the indicator turns green. ● When the web is outside the sensing window the green indication goes off.

This web detect indicator can be used for troubleshooting purposes. If this indicator turns off intermittently while a web is in front of the sensor it may indicate that the sensor is finding it difficult to accurately sense the web. This indicates a low contrast condition for

Content subject to change without notice

the sensor. Such a condition may occur for optical grade clear webs with low scattering in the infrared spectrum.

Sensor Position Indicator

The position of the sensor is indicated by two square indicators on the display (see Fig. 6) that are located downstream of the web guide picture. ● The indicator turns green to display the position and orientation of the sensor with respect to the guide and the web edge. ● If no sensor is attached to the web guiding system then both the indicators will not turn green. ● If two sensors (one right and one left) are attached to the web guiding system or if a wide sensor with center guiding option is used, both indicators may turn green. ● It is important to ensure that the sensor position indicator accurately indicates the actual position of the sensor with respect to the guide. ● The operator can find the correct position of the sensor by pressing the find sensor button that automatically detects the position of the sensor.

Find Sensor Button

The find sensor button (see Fig. 6) can be used to automatically detect the position and orientation of the sensor with respect to the web guide and the web edge. Once the button is pressed the button will change state (as shown in Fig. 7) until the web edge is found. ● This button should be used whenever the sensor position is changed or when the edge orientation is changed. ● When the edge orientation changes, the bar graph will also change orientation. ● Find sensor button is activated only when the web guiding system is in manual mode.

Communication Indicator

A round indicator at the left bottom of the operator interface (see Fig. 4) indicates the communication between the electronic hardware and the operator interface. ● This indicator is used for troubleshooting purpose. ● During normal operation this indicator will switch between red and green at a frequency of about 2 to 4 Hz.

Edge/Contrast Web Position Sensing

Edge sensing Contrast sensing

Depending on the type of sensor (infrared or white light or ultraviolet) the ARIS web guiding system can operator in either edge sensing mode or contrast sensing mode. The default configuration is edge sensing with infrared light source.

In edge sensing mode the sensor will look for the web edge scanning from the outside to the inside of the sensor. For a left sensor the scan goes from left to right, while for a right sensor the scan goes from right to left.

Contrast sensing mode will only work with white light sensor. This sensing mode can be used to detect a line or a contrast in the web. In contrast sensing mode the web position, of the first contrast change in the web, as the sensor scans from inside to outside is

Content subject to change without notice

detected. An additional setting to optimize the sensor performance is available for advanced users through the advanced setting screen.

WARNING: Do not use contrast sensing method with an infrared sensor unless there is a specific need that has been already identified and tested.

WARNING: The Edge/Contrast sensing method selection is visible, and can be changed, only when the web guiding system is in manual mode.

WARNING: Both edge and contrast sensing method may work with white light. However the direction of scanning is different. Additionally optical clear material may be difficult to sense with a white light option.

Advanced Settings Screen The ARIS web guiding system is a truly plug and play system without any need for setup or calibration. However, it may be necessary to adjust a few parameters in rare occasions based on the processing conditions. The advanced setting screen (see Fig. 8) will allow the user to adjust three parameters: motor speed, minimum contrast and web width.

Fig. 8: Advanced Settings Screen

Motor Speed In rare occasions when the web guide reaction speed needs to be reduced the speed slider can be used to vary the speed. The default setting corresponds to 99% of the maximum speed and the speed can be reduced all the way up to 0%. The speed reduction may be necessary while handling delicate material such a thin foils.

Content subject to change without notice

WARNING: When the speed is set to 0% the web guide will not respond in the automatic mode.

Minimum Contrast When contrast web position sensing method is chosen the contrast slider can be used to set the minimum contrast that the web position sensor can detect. The default setting is 50 with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. This relative scale adjusts the contrast sensitivity of the sensor output.

WARNING: The minimum contrast setting will have no effect when edge position sensing method is used.

WARNING: A very low contrast setting will make the sensor to be extremely sensitive to minute contrast difference.

Web Width The web width selection slider (an optional setting) can be used to set the type of width output from the web guiding system. This setting is valid only when two sensors, one left and one right, or a wide sensor is used.

Analog Output When the width output is set to be analog, the ARIS web guiding system sends an analog output ranging between 0 to 10 Volts based on the percentage of the sensor(s) covered by the web. For example, with a wide sensor if the web covers 60% of the sensor window 6 Volts is output. If two sensors are used, one left and one right, then the output will be the total percentage of the two sensors covered by the web on either side.

Digital Output The digital output option can be used for event based web monitoring. When this option is selected additional settings are available to the user as shown in Fig. 9.

Content subject to change without notice

Fig. 9: Digital width output settings.

A lower (ve limit) and an upper (+ve limit) web width tolerance can be set to trigger outputs based on web width. By default the lower and upper limits are set to zero. The resolution of the tolerances is in millimeters. By using the up and down buttons the lower limit and the upper limit can be changed. Any change in the limits must be accepted by pressing the “Accept Limits” button that becomes visible when the limits are changed (see Fig. 10). The nominal web width is recorded at the instant when the “Accept Limits” button is pressed. As soon as the “Accept Limits” button is pressed the button disappears indicating the limit acceptance as shown in Fig. 11.

Fig. 10: Accept Limits button is visible after a limit change.

When the web width goes above the positive limit a positive high signal (+10V) is sent out by the ARIS web guiding system. Similarly when the web width goes below the

Content subject to change without notice

negative limit a negative low signal (10V) is sent out. When the web width is within the positive and negative width limits 0V is output.

Fig. 11: User interface after the pressing Accept Limits button.

WARNING: This option may not be available on all the web guiding systems.

WARNING: If only one edge sensor is present then the output from the web guiding system, irrespective of the web width setting, will be an analog voltage between 0 to 10 Volts proportional to the web position (the percentage of the sensor covered by the web).

WARNING: Whenever a different web material with different nominal width is used the nominal width and the limits must be reset.

The unit and the equipment to which the unit is installed must be properly grounded. There are three conductors in the power cable. ● the red colored conductor is the 24 V power. ● the black colored conductor is the DC return or electronic circuit ground. ● the white colored conductor is the earth ground or PE.

Content subject to change without notice

For safety and normal operation the equipment to which the guiding system is installed must be properly grounded. Once power is connected, the operator interface will turn on automatically. The guide is ready, commissioning and operational.

Preconfigured quick connect power supply option is also available for quick installation.

An additional earthing screw is also provided for proper grounding.

WARNING: Even though the mounting holes provide grounding of the ARIS web guiding system, please use all possible options to safely earth the web guide. Improper grounding may result in static buildup that can potentially result in malfunction of the web guiding system.

Commissioning The ARIS web guiding system is a real plugandplay system. A properly installed ARIS web guide requires correct threading of the web over the guide rollers and initial positioning of the sensor based on the desired position of the web to provide optimum performance. Once the material is threaded over the guide rollers and the sensor has been properly positioned, all the operator has to do is to press the automatic operation icon on the operator interface.

The following section describes the steps and conditions required for automatic operation of the ARIS web guiding system.

1. Power ON the system 2. Automatic/Manual operation set to “Manual” (Automatic/Manual icon pressed to red) 3. Jog the guide to left extreme and then to right extreme to correct for any transportation related guide roller assembly movements. 4. Press the ServoCenter button to center the guide rollers. 5. Thread the material over the rollers. The material wrapped over the rollers must be at a 90 degree angle both at the entry and exit of the guide rollers. 6. Verify that the material is aligned in the desired position with respect to the upstream and downstream position of the web. Place web under normal operation tension. 7. Adjust sensor position on the desired edge of the web. Then manually position the sensor so that the edge of the web is at the middle of the sensing window. This

Content subject to change without notice

can be done by observing the web edge position indicator on the display. When the bar is in the middle position then the web edge is in the middle of the sensing window. 8. Tighten the sensor thumbscrews to secure the sensor position on the sensor rail. 9. Press the “Find Sensor” button on the operator interface so that the guiding system automatically find the position and orientation of the edge sensor. 10. Press the Automatic/Manual operation icon to “Automatic” (Automatic/Manual icon pressed to green). 11. The guide will automatically adjust the position of the web material to guide it to the correct position.

General maintenance The ARIS web guiding system is virtually maintenance free. However, the sensor lid should be cleaned to remove any dust particles that might accumulate on the surface. ● You may use any lens cleaning solutions available in the market. ● Do not use use petroleum based products as these can damage the sensor cover and affect its performance. ● This cleaning can be done as part of a weekly maintenance schedule or as required by usage or environmental conditions.
