Features

This Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies And we want to show you a little bit more about our sensor technology and its different applications. So here we have a demo set up to show some of the features that are sensors have. Right now we're showcasing the 221 infrared sensor and on the left side you'll see the forty eight millimeter white light sensor which we used mostly for contrast sensing so we have already set up the Infrared sensor and we're going to do first let me show you the in the edge mode all the capabilities that it can do. So they can do so right now number one.

It can actually tell you exactly where the sensor is mounted and Which side is that it's that said its absolute sensing so as you can see it automatically detects a sensor And then it's affecting the edge on this side, right? but I Want [to] change it. Just press here if I come from this side? See it automatically detects no calibration needed for this operation.

Additionally we have other characteristics that we can do with this we can do something with this same sensor. We can measure width. We set it up to monitor in this case. It can be a pass or fail condition so now there's no material, so I'm gonna put a material here, and then I'm going to set a Condition and I'm going to set it up.

Let's say I want to accept two millimeters off That's accept so now it has recorded the distance that just width that I want right? but put another material, that's a different width It will leave me a fail condition because it's beyond the limits that I've all already set up over here So that's another characteristics of our sensors. We can also show you another which is the string mode right here for the 221 sensor if I present one string? will actually see one string.

But that is the same time you can also see two strings and you can see even Three and many more right, but the best thing that we can do is we can actually also give you the distance between the strings between the edge of the strings, so in this case is telling us between the third and First string there's Thirty six millimeters right however we can adjust this, prepare you with our system so that they can actually tell you the difference between individual strings Now let me hook up now our White light sensor so as you can see I'm just going to unhook our 221 sensor infarred sensor And then I'm going to just hook up The light light sensor as you can see it turns on immediately It detects it and of course a white light sensor can do edge guiding. All right Just this the other sensors You can do it from either side, it auto detects. But I can also select the mode So right now. It's going to do contrast sensing So it will tell me The position this contrast as you can see by that?

Green and Red bar right, but I can also tell you Not only that I can tell you the width of that So it gives us a 9-millimeter width, if I change it and see, it changes. of course, if I Had a steady hand this little better, [okay]? [okay], so that's one of us the many features that we have and that's with the white light sensor the contrast capabilities also, we [can] also give you a Mark so let's say for example. You have something like [this] We wanted to detect the mark, so as soon as the sensor sees it It will tell me that the mark is detective.

Mark detected. This comes across, so this has multiple applications if you had For example. We can actually give you the distance between marks through a one of our algorithms But the best thing we can do is, we can also do this with ultraviolet light and then you can have a mark with UV ink which can also be detected. So these are some of our capabilities that are sensors can do.

Of course now we're looking for other applications As we do our research in our developing products by right now these are available to you. Just give us a call or visit our website, and you can actually see your products there. Thank you very much

Hi, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies We want to answer one of the questions that reader in e-news sent us. His question was literally just how do you calibrate your sensors and one of the things we do with Roll-2-Roll Technologies with what we have developed It's that you have to, you don't need to do any calibration of our sensors. Right here today I'm going to do a very short demo using one of our demo units plus two of our main sensors, the 48 millimeters White light sensor to use for contrast sensing and edge sensing and then our white 221 millimeter sensors infrared which we use for edge detection but also for measuring width and center guiding. So let us show you how.

In this case you notice immediately as soon as I plug it in the sensor came on with no need of any other procedure in just coming you know. Now as you can see right now on the screen the sensor I have to go and tell it find the sensor It's searching and then as soon as I put the material It detects where the sensor is at. As you can see it's actually detecting the material as it goes through Ok so now let's say that I want to change the sensor for some other reason and now all [I] do is just unplug the sensor And as soon as I unplug it the display tells us that there's no sensor there and at the same time I'm going to plug in one of our featured sensors the 221 millimeter sensor which has many capabilities like for example We can do edge detection, it can do width sensing and immediately it detects a sensor there. However I'm going to do a search sensor and the same procedure and as soon as I put material it detects the material.

Now it is only guiding off on the edge of the material on the leading edge. That is how simple it is Change Sensors and as you can see there's no need for calibration We hope that this video has helped you understand a little bit more about our about our technology And we will continue to show more stuff, but especially the features that are sensors have. Thank you.

Hello, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today we're going to talk a little bit about one of our sensors in our web positioning sensor line. So imagine this, what if you have a line where you're trying to run several strands like wires and material so you want to monitor if the wires are there or not. In this case the WPS 440 can actually give you that application.

In this case, I have set up right now seven wires that in the production line probably running over the face, separate from the face that would be running across it right. So if I eliminate, even one take it away, you would actually get a signal telling you that it has been removed, it's missing and that would be one of the features of this product one of the applications. At the same time, if these wires come together then it also can tell you that that is happening also tell you that there's a problem in the system. Additionally it can actually give you just measure each one of the wires and give you an average of the measurement of the width of each wire and then at this same time tell you there's a problem with your system so this is one of the features of the WPS 440- 440 millimeter sensor window and included with the SE unit and closed within the housing unit.

It's all available to you through our Roll-2-Roll Technologies. You can see more information about the sensor at www.r2r-tech.com

hi this is privileged old troll technology today I want to talk to you about our newest addition in our line of work this is the local contact web guy which is good for narrow web applications with the displacement guide that you go from 10 inches up to 20 inches in budget what about drinking shoes with is the low profile of it which has is reduced to about 40 inches in height but also all the controls are picking away so we have a remote control display that you can place anywhere away from me hung from the machine our remote control has all the other the same applications as our physical web guide and including every will display into operator interfaces for now while the great feature with this is you can do any type of web guy usable we can do edge and the thinner you can also a little contrast guiding so those applications where you want to guys off the the contour of the edge of a label and you can do also wine guy by changing the sensor you can do these applications and when we do for a change for many of these applications are going to present an icon only on the operation support now another feature that we have is you can get these guides with either a new path or a or a d-pad so he can get a web path or exemptions are probably go to the bottom or vice versa these are some of the pieces that we have with our new line of web guides available in the flyer we office and we can see more of the art information on our web guides at www.artoffire.com

All right, this is Pedro Velasco with Roll-2-Roll Technologies. Today, we want to talk to you about using retrofit kits in order to improve your existing web line or a production line. So one of the can one of the things that usually a any Integrator or OEM or a rebuilder of machines will face even even an end-user will face is that you have a machine, you have a web guiding system, and you need to replace it But one of the things that we found out is that you really don't need to replace the mechanical components. If you have a retrofit kit You will probably get a lot of bang for your buck instead of expending a lot of money on just a complete web guide.

Advantage of this is that number one, you don't have to buy an expensive web guide system new for your operation. Number two, is that when you buy a new web guide system sometimes because things have changed through the years then you have to do a lot of adjustments within your machine such as drilling new holes, adapting your web guide to that. Number three if you get a retrofit kit, you have the advantage of getting the best or the newest technology that there is in controls and in sensors. So what you usually get when you get a retrofit kit?

Number one, you'll probably get a sensor one or two depending on your application. You will get a control unit. You will get an actuator with a motor driver and of course all the necessary accessories in order to connect all this. So those are the things that you're looking for.

Now in an additional video will teach you or will talk to you about how to do the connection of all these items so you can apply them to your lines. So if you're an integrator, you're an OEM, you're a rebuilder, even an end-user one of the best things you can do is use a retrofit kit in order to get your operation into the best technology available instead of spending a lot of money just getting a new web guide.

So here at Roll-2-Roll Technologies we keep advancing with our developments. Today I want to talk to you about the contrast sensing application and something new that we have come up with through our development space. So we have set up here a screen where we'll show you the contrast being read by the sensor below. In this case I'm going to show you this is a strip of material that has several labels on top of a white substrate and as I present it to the sensor, you will see on the screen how it can actually see each one of those labels and the position of the labels, right.

So this is a silver on white. We can also look at a white on white if necessary and as you can see it actually detects where the material is at. I think you can see the edge of the material and you can see actually the white strip in on that white substrate Another thing is we can actually also look at different colors and it can look at each one of them individually and seen on the screen. More extreme, we have this white on white label so we have a label on extremely white substrate we can hardly see it with our eyes but as you can see not only this would pick up the edge of the material and the edge of that white label on it but if we have a a printed yellow line also and you can also detect the two all at the same time.

Now what this application is one of the applications for this type of feature is for example on slitting applications where previously you would need to print a line on the on the material in order to do the slitting by guiding yourself off the line now you can do it like just guiding the material off this any type of age of a label. It doesn't matter the contrast is very low so all that because our sensor feature that can detect any type of differences in contrast with our powerful sensor application.
