edge sensor

In this episode of our webinar series on web guiding fundamentals, we dive into the critical role of sensors in web guiding systems. Learn about various sensor terminologies such as range, resolution, accuracy, and linearity, and understand the importance of accurate measurement for effective control. We discuss different sensor technologies including infrared, optical, and ultrasonic, and explore the challenges they face including issues with temperature drift and material properties. Discover why precise sensing is essential for guiding performance in web handling applications.

Roll-2-Roll Technologies would be introducing the WPS 900 sensor, one of the widest sensors that in the market. With over 35 inches of sensor range, this is one of the widest edge sensors, if not the widest in the converting industry. Please come visit us at the booth to find out more.

The webinar will cover sensing and measurement technology that are used in Roll-2-Roll® Sensors.

The presentation will cover:

• the fundamental working principle of the patented fiber optic technology
• how it differs from the conventional sensors
• benefits of the fiber optic technology
• application of the fiber optic sensor technology for sensing and measurement applications such as edge detection, width measurement, registration mark detection, flag detection, void/hole detection, tear detection, etc.

Roll-2-Roll Technologies has released a new feature for it's web position sensors. This feature benefits all converting operations. The advanced contrasting capabilities can detect the smallest changes in colors and markings. Stay tuned for more information about our advanced contrast sensor capabilities for converting operations.

Check out this video to see how easy it is to simply plug in and use our web guiding system without any type of setup or calibration.

The compact web guiding system from Roll-2-Roll Technologies is powered by the ARIS web position sensor. The revolutionary sensor technology enables the web guide to work with any material without the need for setup or calibration. 

This demo video shows the capabilities of the Roll-2-Roll Technologies web position sensor to work with different web materials without the need for any setup or calibration.

Web width measurement with ARIS web position sensor from Roll-2-Roll Technologies is shown in this video. The capabilities of the sensor include both web width measurement and monitoring.
