The performance of the compact web guiding system with a challenging porous web, burlap web is shown in this video.

## Transcript

The video shows ARIS guiding a burlap web at different frequencies and a web speed of 4.26 meter per second. Using a two guide test machine, we will show you several speeds and several disturbance frequencies that are introduced to evaluate the performance of ARIS when it handles burlap, a non-porous material. Watch the red laser to see difference of the controller when its on vs when its off. As a porous material, burlap presents a special challenge because current sensing technology is not able to handle the gaps between the threads of the material.

The image processing in the sensing technology in ARIS allows it to detect the edges of a porous material. You can find a link for more information in our description below
