A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial digital computer which has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, or robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability control and ease of programming and process fault diagnosis.

In this case, Roll-2-Roll Technologies programs the PLC for web width measurement in converting operations.

In this case, Roll-2-Roll Technologies programs a PLC, so you are able to set the parameters (or recipes) that best suite your operation for web width measurement. Learn how set up or change these recipes in your PLC in this video.

Roll-2-Roll Technologies offers robust width measurement capabilities with the WPS 440 Sensor. Using a PLC  connected via ethernet, we are able to accurately measure the width of any material.
