How to Set Up Web Width Measurement through a PLC

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.

How to set Web Width Measurement Parameters using PLC

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 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.

 

Wide Web Guide System for Textile Fabric

Body
Very impressed with the Roll-2-Roll centering device and how simple it is to use and set up. We were looking for a way to accomplish this without having to add the camera systems or special sensors which would have required technicians in the field to have to be trained on and learn how to use correctly. With the Roll-2-Roll unit, just load the fabric, verify that the sensor is on the edge of the fabric and push the start button.
