control unit

Hi, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today we talk a little bit as things that we can do with our sensors. Now our web guides are capable of doing edge guiding or center guiding with just a touch of an icon and that is because of our sensor technology. Now our sensors on their own they can actually have many other features that deal with that application.

For example this 221 mm sensor, we can use it to monitor the width of any material that is within the 221 millimeter sensing window. In this case they can measure the width, it can also detect that there are differences in the width and therefore send out a signal to tell you that there's something wrong with it. Now we can also do that, let's say that the sensing the material is wider than the sensing window. Well we can also use two sensors we can use two 221 mm or 2 48 mm and then hook them up to our sensor control unit and keep on doing that same application which is measuring the web width or at the same time controlling or monitoring the web width in case you want to make sure that the material is within specs in width wise.

This can be done with any of our sensors. This can be done with our 221 millimeter sensor the WPS 221 IR or this can be done with our 48. There are 16 mm sensors too and also with our new sensor the 440. Now this is some of the features that we have and we will talk some more about other features in future videos Thank you very much

Today we want to show a feature in our web guides that allows for guide point adjustment We can do a fine guide point adjustment or a gross guide point adjustment without having to physically move the sensor The adjustment can be made on the operator interface by just sliding our finger across the screen In a previous video we talked about the fine guide point adjustment and today we want to go over the gross point adjustment For that we have to go to the operator interface screen, and there is a black bar on the screen and all you have to do is slide your finger across the black bar and it will move the guide point After that you will need to hit accept and the guide point will be set Unless you hit the accept button after moving the guide point, the system will not register the change in guide point If by mistake you touch the screen and move the guide point, the guide point will return to its original setting unless you hit the accept icon This is just another of our features on our web guides available in the control unit version 2.4 which is standard in all our web guides since June 2017 Fine and gross guide point adjustment, something we believe will be very beneficial for any converting operation Visit our website at www.r2r-tech.com for more information on all these features

This is Pedro Velasco from Roll-2-Roll Technologies and today we're a test bench where we you know do some variants of our products. I want to talk to you today about one of our products that we have on the sensor control unit side. Now one of our options for smart sensor control in our line of products is the ARIS SCU for control cabinet mounting on a thin rail as we have shown here. Now we have arranged the sensor control along with a couple sensors so we have two units with two sensors that actually for burning.

This was originally designed for OEMs who wanted to as an in capita control unit and they wanted to use our sensor technology with their own actuator systems and their web guiding systems. Therefore they were benefiting from our technology from our smart technology that's offered in our whole line of products now. The ARIS SCU provides it can provide an analog output, a connection for Ethernet IP applications, an operator interface so to connect the display to it and then on the bottom side, you can see we'll have the two sensor controls, two sets of connections now. The sensors then, the sensors we provide with this, would be with a shielded cable and they can be installed far away.

This is particularly useful for those applications where the sensor needs to be in an environment in which the control unit cannot be in. For say for example, an environment like a vacuum environment now the ARIS SCU can also be used in other applications. You know like for the detection of web positions, monitoring measurement of web width, any industrial operation so it's not only for those OEMs it can also be used for those who have a very special applications like I mentioned before. Applications where the environment wants or requires that the sensor control unit be away from the sensor.

Now this is a lightweight, easy to install, smart sensor control unit that is a coupled with our sensor technology and it allows you to detect and monitor any material position without the need for calibration.

Hi, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Our products are based on our own research. Every so often we'll go back and do some more testing and we do some further investigations of our products work. In this case, I want to show you this is one of test benches.

We build this on our own. Right now, we're actually doing some some data collection on our newest web guide, which is the compact low profile Displacement guide and what we're trying to do right now is we're putting in a disturbance upstream sinusoidal disturbance and then we're recording comparing what the material coming in, how it's coming in and compare with the material coming out, the result of correction through our web guide. We take all that data and then we do some comparisons and make some corrections and further improve the way our systems work. So right now, we're showing you the downstream side of a web guide and what we're doing is the sensor on this sensor here is actually reporting the information from the data at the position of the web guide and of course our web guide is being controlled or guided thanks to that sensor that we have over there, which is a sensor that's provided with the web guide.

As you can see from this view we can see the sinusoidal disturbance being caused by one of our web guides on the front through programs that have to do that for us and then downstream closer to the camera, you can see the our featured web guide doing the correction. Now one of the features our controls is they learn on their own. And that's part of our algorithm So we take the information from this and we further correct it. also allows us to create other features for our customers such as the KOIOS data analytics which can actually help predict other problems upstream from where the web just based on information that are systems provide.
