# What line speeds can edge guiding handle?

> Roll-2-Roll edge guiding systems maintain 0.0635 mm (0.0025 in) sensor resolution and ±0.127 mm (±0.005 in) repeatability at line speeds up to 760 m/min (2,500 fpm). With a 500 Hz update rate, the sensors respond fast enough for high-speed converting lines.

## 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).
