## Features

- Zero recalibration – sensor adapts automatically to any material (clear, opaque, metallic, nonwoven, mesh)
- High resolution – 0.127 mm hardware resolution
- Material-agnostic detection – fiber-optic technology based on light scattering and spatial filtering
- Temperature immune – unlike ultrasonic sensors, performance unaffected by temperature changes
- One sensor, multiple applications – edge guiding, width measurement, centerline detection, and more

## Benefits

- Stop losing hours to sensor recalibration when switching between materials
- Eliminate changeover delays – no manual sensor adjustments between product runs
- End quality escapes caused by undetected sensor drift between changeovers
- Remove safety risks from operators accessing sensors in awkward positions
- Prevent hidden scrap from temperature-related inaccuracies that plague ultrasonic sensors

## Applications

- Edge sensing, measurement and guiding
- Centerline web position sensing, measurement and guiding
- Web width measurement and monitoring
- Thread/ribbon inspection
- Flag detection
- Registration mark detection
- Defect detection

## About Roll-2-Roll Technologies

Roll-2-Roll Technologies designs and manufactures patented fiber-optic web position sensors and advanced web guiding controllers — the precision measurement and control core of modern roll-to-roll manufacturing. Spun out of Oklahoma State University's Web Handling Research Center and trusted by Fortune 500 medical, battery, and nonwovens manufacturers, our patented sensors work without recalibration, with 0.0635 mm resolution and ±0.127 mm repeatability at line speeds up to 760 m/min — typical customer outcomes are 50%+ less downtime and payback under six months. Headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, our team of PhDs, controls engineers, and industry veterans extends the sensor + controller core into complete web guide systems including stepper-motor-based linear actuators (RLA, BLA, LHS).
