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.
The innovative Roll-2-Roll® Sensor technology mimics camera-based systems, offering superior measurement accuracy and resolution. Combined with the user-friendly Roll-2-Roll® Controller, the system delivers a streamlined, easy-to-use solution that any operator can manage.
One of the ODC 960's most notable features is its one-sided sensor design, allowing for installation near or on a roller. This unique configuration provides multiple benefits, including web stabilization, air removal, and a compact footprint that fits easily into tight spaces, minimizing the risk of sensor damage from threading errors. The one-sided design also enables downward-facing installation, leveraging gravity to reduce dust accumulation.
The ODC 960's modular design integrates the light source, optics, and 1D camera within a compact profile, facilitating close web installation and enhancing measurement resolution and accuracy. This design eliminates the need for external lighting, gantry construction, and long working distances typically required by conventional camera solutions.
Furthermore, the ODC 960's linear optics deliver 1:1 magnification with higher resolution, mitigating lens distortion or aberrations commonly associated with circular lens optics. The camera's field of view does not affect the measurement resolution or working distance, offering unparalleled accuracy and precision to engineers and technical personnel.
Roll-2-Roll Technologies' President, Aravind Seshadri, shared his thoughts on the new ODC 960 sensor: "Our customers consistently request wider sensors, as they enhance operator safety by eliminating the need for manual repositioning, reduce operator errors, and save time. We're proud to offer this highly sought-after feature while maintaining exceptional resolution even at such an expansive sensing range." Seshadri also highlighted the versatility of the ODC 960, stating, "The applications for this sensor include web guiding, web width measurement, thread/elastic counting, strip width measurement, flag detection, splice detection, and many more."
Roll-2-Roll Technologies will unveil the ODC 960 at the Converters Expo show in April 2023, where they will showcase their full range of web inspection and control solutions at booth 11. The Converters Expo will take place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 13th, presenting an exciting opportunity for attendees to discover the latest advancements in web inspection and control technology.

Hello everyone, this is Aravind Seshadri from Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today we are really excited to talk about one of our newer products for edge guiding, sensing and different applications. We have our ODC 960 this is one of the widest edge sensor that is available in the resolution of 5 thousand's of an inch and this is one of the higher resolution cameras that we have for such a wide sensing range. There are lots of applications for this including web guiding, width measurement, thread counting, flag detection, splice detection.
Some of the unique features of this system is that it is a one sided solution. So when you have a one sided solution you don't have issues when you are trying to install it in a compact space. Becasue if it is one sided you can install it vertically or you can install it facing down so that you don't have to worry about the dust accumulation on the sensor. It also occupies a This is an unique and proprietary technology where we have our linear optics.
This allows us to install the sensor really close to the web. So even though the field of view is pretty wide. You don't have to worry about trying to have a large working distance. We don't have that issue.
And also because we have the linear optics we have a 1:1 magnification ratio. That means that we have a really good resolution in terms of the image that we are capturing. If you compare that to traditional machine vision system with a circular optics, when you increase the field of view your resolution goes down. In our case our resolution doesn't go down.
Right now we have plugged it up with our SCU5 controller where you can get about 5 thousands of an inch resolution. This can be used any of the applications we already support. Anyway we are introducing this at the converters expo show 2023 in Greenbay. And it should be available this summer for purchase.
Take a look at our website and we will have more information about the sensor and feel free to contact us. Thank you!
