In most parts of a machine, you move the web to match the machine. In rewinding, you must do the opposite: move the machine to match the web. If a web arrives at the winder with a slight wander, holding the winder stationary will result in a "telescoped" …
In standard web guiding, the machine steers the web to align it with a fixed process. However, in "Chasing" or "Tool Tracking" applications, the web is allowed to flow naturally, and the process mechanism itself (such as a slitter knife assembly or …
In roll-to-roll processing, the material entering the machine must be perfectly aligned, even if the source roll is telescoped or loaded off-center. An Unwind Guide (or Shifting Stand) physically moves the entire heavy unwind roll left or right to ensure …
In converting processes like film extrusion, coating, or rewinding, material often has slight thickness variations ("gauge bands") running down the length of the web. If wound in a straight line, these thicker spots stack up on top of each other, creating …
Overview Roll-2-Roll Technologies provides advanced sensor solutions designed for the spatial constraints and precision requirements of modern battery manufacturing. As the industry moves toward wider webs and faster line speeds to reduce cell costs, …
Overview The converting industry is defined by "High-Mix, Low-Volume" production. Converters constantly switch between materials—clear poly films one hour, opaque paper the next, and reflective foils after that. Roll-2-Roll Technologies delivers One …
R2R Technologies, an Oklahoma State University student-led business, was one of the major winners at the Tri-State Donald W. Reynolds Cup business plan competition in Las Vegas last …
Overview Printing circuits (RFID, OLED, Solar) on flexible substrates combines the throughput of roll-to-roll manufacturing with the precision of semiconductor fabrication. R2R provides a Vision System in a Sensor Package , delivering the micron-level …
Overview Film extrusion (Blown and Cast) is a continuous, 24/7 process where stability is paramount. [R2R sensors] provide non-contact precision to measure and align the web without damaging the delicate product. With no programming needed and a robust …
Overview The Narrow Web market is focused on label printing (flexo/digital) and converting. Space is the defining constraint. R2R delivers high-performance guiding that fits where others can't, offering a lower initial cost by integrating light source, …
