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

Roll-To-Roll technologies offers web guide retrofit kits for operations that need to upgrade their guiding systems. The mechanical systems and web guides can outlive the control Sensor and/or the actuator in their guiding systems we can provide options that allow you to retrofit our sensor Sensor control unit and actuator to an existing web guiding system The upgrade is easy to install and you will get the benefits of the technology that powers errors products Making your process easier to control For more information, visit us at www.r2r-tech.com

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. For more information subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out other videos that we have with additional tips and tutorials on our products. Thank you.

This is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today I want to introduce to you one of our new products in our line of compact web guides. This is our low profile web guide, 3.5 inches tall that can go from 10 inches up to 22 inches. It's very lightweight, very easy to install, very easy to handle and it has the same capabilities that's in our compact web guide.

So having no need for calibration of the sensor, easy to operate interface for operators and you have the same quality and endurance of our compact line of web guides. The only difference is that a control unit in the control unit is placed away. You can either have with same conditions as these where we can have Ethernet IP connections, you can have analog outputs, you can have a operator icon based interface but it still has the stepper motor now which provides very smooth operation and at the same time everything that we have in our technology on the compact web guides is in this guide. These web guides are available at the end of July and we recommend them highly if you have an operation where you have very tight spaces in your line and you want to install a very reliable web guide.

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.

Hi this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies . Today we're going to talk to you about one of our line of web guides within the narrow web applications, specifically steering guides These come with the same features as the displacement guides that we are well known for. These are especially for applications where you have a very long entry span into the into the web guide, for example when you're coming off an oven and you need an application right after the oven, The steering guides come with the same linear displacement actuators and they also come with the air SCU5 sensor control unit which is the brain of the web guide and then also with the ARIS WPS web position sensors which come in sensing width of 48 mm up to 221 mm. Our steering web guides come with either grooved rollers or smooth rollers.

Now we recommend the grooved rollers if you're running webs at very high speeds, therefore allowing you to eliminate the entrapped air between the web material and the surface of the roller and eliminating any slippage. With these web guides you can edge guide, center guide, and additionally contrast and line guide using our white light contrast sensors You can actually guide any type of material with no need for calibration of the sensors and it's a very easy to install and operate system. We are Roll-2-Roll Technologies and and you can talk to our experts by contacting us through our website www.r2r-tech.com

Hi this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. We're going to talk a little bit about adjusting the guide point on our sensors for the web guides In many cases people want to be able to do this adjustment without having to move the sensor, and that's what we're offering now with this feature that we're going to talk about. Today, we have what we actually have two ways of doing this guide point adjustment. Ones a gross adjustment the other is fine adjustment.

We're going to talk about the fine adjustment Which is something that some of our customers have requested us to do. In this case we can provide you a fine adjustment of a little bit over .25 millimeters per step that you're going to adjust. Now this adjustment has to be done while the web guide is on and the machine or the converted process is running at the same time. We got set up on our test machine with one of our web guides with this condition.

As you can see I'm going to put the web guide on automatic and let's start our machine. So right now on our Display you can see that the two sensors are on. We actually Installed 221mm sensors on our machine in order to do a center guide. And let's say at this point.

It's the Web Material is centered on the web guide. If I want to move it to the right four to five millimeters all I have to do is press this button. and they'll recorded this there and this set. You don't have to do anything else.

It's already set that the guide point has been displaced .25 millimeters to the right and I can keep on displacing the guide for as long as I think the material is within the sensing window. Now if I want to place it back to its original position all I have to do is hit the center button. And it's in fact there. As you can see I don't have to do anything else.

All I have to do is press those buttons and it gets back there. If I went to move the guide point to the left, I hit the other Direction. As you can see it implements a little bit over 0.25 and it's excellent now. What is that value?

Well in this case is you can be very precise moving the web as you process the material. In another condition that we have, you can do gross adjustments, but we'll talk about that in a future video. now this is only available in our latest firmware version for our web guides, version 2.4 right now [this] is available for you, and actually give you more control of the web material as you're processing it. So thank you very much and let's hope to see you again in our next video
