Hi, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today we talk a little bit as things that we can do with our sensors. Now our web guides are capable of doing edge guiding or center guiding with just a touch of an icon and that is because of our sensor technology. Now our sensors on their own they can actually have many other features that deal with that application.
For example this 221 mm sensor, we can use it to monitor the width of any material that is within the 221 millimeter sensing window. In this case they can measure the width, it can also detect that there are differences in the width and therefore send out a signal to tell you that there's something wrong with it. Now we can also do that, let's say that the sensing the material is wider than the sensing window. Well we can also use two sensors we can use two 221 mm or 2 48 mm and then hook them up to our sensor control unit and keep on doing that same application which is measuring the web width or at the same time controlling or monitoring the web width in case you want to make sure that the material is within specs in width wise.
This can be done with any of our sensors. This can be done with our 221 millimeter sensor the WPS 221 IR or this can be done with our 48. There are 16 mm sensors too and also with our new sensor the 440. Now this is some of the features that we have and we will talk some more about other features in future videos Thank you very much
