Quick Answer:
Short Answer
Yes. Cascading configurations use each lane's edge position to set the guide point for the next lane, enabling edge-to-edge alignment across multiple lanes.
Yes. Roll-2-Roll Technologies systems support multi-lane cascading alignment where each lane's edge position automatically sets the guide point for the next lane.
Example configuration (14 lanes):
- Each lane has two sensors: one monitors the "master" edge, one guides the web via a slave guide
- Lane 1's right edge position sets the guide point for Lane 2's slave guide
- Lane 2's right edge sets Lane 3's guide point, and so on
- Result: All lanes maintain edge-to-edge alignment automatically
For faster response: The SCU6x controller's industrial Ethernet connectivity enables a central PLC architecture where any lane change can instantly adjust guide points for all subsequent lanes simultaneously, rather than propagating lane-by-lane.
