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.
Different terms related to web guiding are discussed in this article.
Web guiding is the process of regulating the cross machine position of the web while the web is transported over the rollers in roll-to-roll processing machinery. Other terms for web guiding include:
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.
Roll-2-Roll Technologies is releasing a new bigger and better sensor. Check out this video to learn more and reserve yours today!
One of the many features of our wide width sensors is the ability to function as a sensor for both edge and center guiding without the need for calibration. See how easy it is to use one sensor for both center and edge web guiding applications in this demonstration of switching from edge guiding to center guiding on-the-fly.
Check out the many capabilities our sensors have in edge, center, width, contrast and mark sensing. Our sensors require no calibration. These advanced sensor capabilities are shown here in this video.
Web width measurement is a common need in the converting industry. This video shows the web width measurement application with the WPS.
