In this educational video, we delve into the fundamentals of web guiding systems, essential for the Converting Industry. We'll explore four key components of a web guide: the guide structure or mechanism, the actuator, the sensor, and the controller. Learn how each element works together in a closed loop feedback control system to ensure precise web positioning. Ideal for industry professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of advanced web handling technologies.

In this demonstration, we showcase the flag detection capabilities of Roll-2-Roll Technologies' SCU6x Controllers combined with ODC Sensors. The setup includes both unwinding and rewinding mechanisms, with a sensor monitoring the edges of the web. The SCU6x Controller is configured to detect flags effectively, ensuring accurate monitoring even with web oscillation. The video highlights the ease of setting up the system, the parameters involved, and the robust nature of the algorithm, making it a reliable solution for web handling applications.

How to Access the Operator Width Screen

In this video, we guide you through the steps to access the operator width screen from the home screen. Start by pressing the tools icon, followed by the operator icon located at the top right, and then the width icon. You'll first arrive at the operator width home screen, and there's an additional setup screen available where you can perform further setup tasks.

Multiple Web Width Measurement is made simple by the SCU6x Controller and the application that is accessible through Ethernet communication for a continuous multiple web width measurement. This application allows converters with processes such as slitter rewinders to eliminate down time due to width verification of the multiple webs. This unique feature of the Roll-2-Roll Technologies SCu6x Controller allows for monitoring and data collection of up to 32 web widths simultaneously and constantly.

Multiple width measurement is an application that many operations in converting would like to have. Much better if the application was capable of simultaneously measuring and monitoring the widths of several webs. Join Aravind Seshadri from Roll-2-Roll Technologies as he delves into the capabilities of the SCU6X controller and ODC sensors for web width measurement. Learn about the unique advantages of one-sided sensor technology, such as ease of installation in tight spaces and high resolution, independent of field of view.

How to Find the IP Address of Your SCU6x Controller

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to find the IP address, subnet, and gateway of your SCU 6X controller using the tool icon, power user, and communication settings. Discover the type of module you have - in this case, an ethernet IP module - and ensure you're connected to the correct network to connect to the app.

Exploring the Dual Rail Power Supply Feature of the SCU6x Controller

In this video, we delve into the dual rail power supply feature of the SCU6x Controller. This feature provides a separate power rail for the driver and the logic, enhancing safety by allowing the power to the driver part to be cut off when necessary, such as during access to a web guide. Demonstrations include how to indicate power status and control the actuator via this dual rail system.

A Common Customer Concern, Controlling the Actuator when the Web Breaks

In this video, we address a common customer concern about actuators in the event of a web break, focusing on the safety features of the SCU6x Controller. We cover how the actuator will not drive to a mechanical limit due to electronic limits, preventing burnout. Additionally, we discuss the advanced digital system of our stepper motor-based actuators, which includes electronic stroke limits, limit switch options using NPN proximity sensors, and the lock on lost edge feature.

In this episode, we explore how to utilize the center guiding feature of the SCU6x Controller with two sensors, focusing on automatic adjustments and setup. We demonstrate the mechanics of center guiding using an actuator and explain the importance of using sensors of the same range. With detailed visuals, we show how to reset the guide point and align the material to the center of the machine.

In this video, we explore the two main reasons for using center guiding in web handling systems, focusing on the advantages it brings when dealing with varying web widths and poor edge quality. The SCU6x Controller's advanced sensor technology allows seamless adjustments without the need to move sensors, accommodating significant width changes efficiently. This ensures high response times and minimizes wear on actuators.
