How to make fine guide point adjustments on our web guides

Hi this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. We're going to talk a little bit about adjusting the guide point on our sensors for the web guides In many cases people want to be able to do this adjustment without having to move the sensor, and that's what we're offering now with this feature that we're going to talk about. Today, we have what we actually have two ways of doing this guide point adjustment. Ones a gross adjustment the other is fine adjustment.

We're going to talk about the fine adjustment Which is something that some of our customers have requested us to do. In this case we can provide you a fine adjustment of a little bit over .25 millimeters per step that you're going to adjust. Now this adjustment has to be done while the web guide is on and the machine or the converted process is running at the same time. We got set up on our test machine with one of our web guides with this condition.

As you can see I'm going to put the web guide on automatic and let's start our machine. So right now on our Display you can see that the two sensors are on. We actually Installed 221mm sensors on our machine in order to do a center guide. And let's say at this point.

It's the Web Material is centered on the web guide. If I want to move it to the right four to five millimeters all I have to do is press this button. and they'll recorded this there and this set. You don't have to do anything else.

It's already set that the guide point has been displaced .25 millimeters to the right and I can keep on displacing the guide for as long as I think the material is within the sensing window. Now if I want to place it back to its original position all I have to do is hit the center button. And it's in fact there. As you can see I don't have to do anything else.

All I have to do is press those buttons and it gets back there. If I went to move the guide point to the left, I hit the other Direction. As you can see it implements a little bit over 0.25 and it's excellent now. What is that value?

Well in this case is you can be very precise moving the web as you process the material. In another condition that we have, you can do gross adjustments, but we'll talk about that in a future video. now this is only available in our latest firmware version for our web guides, version 2.4 right now [this] is available for you, and actually give you more control of the web material as you're processing it. So thank you very much and let's hope to see you again in our next video
