one of our features and our sensor and controllers setups that we have is the automatic guide point adjustment which makes it easier to set up your converting line by just putting the material on your sensor and then once you have the material at the position you want you can just by pressing a button reset the guide point whatever you want so let me show you how it works in this case we have it set up for senator guiding right and as you can see as I move the material around you can see where the material position is at and you can see the center of the material with that green line but however on the top part of the screen or that bar you can see a gray bar that is our actual guide point right now but if I want to reset it to say this position right here all I have to do is just press the reset guide point button and then as soon as I hit accept it will automatically take it to that position so now I have reset my guide point for this operation now this can be used for edge Center guiding with one or two sensors or contrast guiding this is beneficial for people who have operations where they move the material quite often where in in their converting line and therefore do not want to have the hassle of just doing a precise reset of their guide point it's a very easy setup very easy operation and it will save a lot of time for you in your converting line you

Our web guiding system, ARIS, features the latest in web guiding technology. It adapts to any material, requires no calibration, and is very simple to set-up. Our technology allows the sensor to be material agnostic, which means ARIS accurately detects the web edge position of any materials used without the need for manual adjustments. ARIS’ sensor technology works differently than any other currently available sensor in the market.
It uses the reflection of infrared light to take a picture of the edge of the material. This picture is then processed using digital signal processing algorithms to accurately sense the true position of the material irrespective of its physical properties. Other sensors use a blocking technique where the web is used to block light, sound or air. Since the amount of blocking depends on the material properties, the current sensor technology is less accurate with porous or transparent material.
Ultimately the web guiding performance is affected by the inaccurate sensor measurement. In this experiment, we will show you four materials, black nonwoven material, white nonwoven material, transparent film, and burlap. Our experimental setup is equipped with a high precision motor stage which moves the web material, which is 10 mm away from the sensor, back and forth. This setup is used to quantify the sensor performance.
With each material we repeat the exercise four times. The green line represents linear regression, which quantifies the precision and accuracy of the sensor. The blue represents the actual position of the web as measured by the sensor. Follow the results as the experiment progresses.
The video shows the web as it moves away from the center and the sensor’s ability to follow the position. The experiential results clearly show that the precision and accuracy of the sensor is unaffected by the material properties. Our sensor has linearity of plus or minus 1 percent without any calibration. Find out more information about ARIS and our sensors, using the link in our description below.
