Web Width Measurement

Unveiling the Advantages of the SCU6x Controller & ODC Sensors

In this episode of the Multiple Web Width Measurement Application Series, we showcase the advanced pattern teaching feature of the SCU6x controller. Learn how to set up widths, samples, and jobs to monitor changes in material movement and width accurately. Discover the advantages of the pattern teaching mode, such as alerting when a web breaks and maintaining precise measurements even with intervening materials. This tutorial highlights how our system prevents measurement jumps and ensures consistent tracking of web position, making your slitting process more efficient and reliable.

Setting Nominal Width, Upper and Lower Limits for Multiple Web Width Measurement

In this episode of the Multiple Web Width Measurement Application Series, we demonstrate how to set nominal width, upper limit, and lower limit parameters for web width measurements on the SCU6x Controller. Learn how to adjust increments, set alarm and warning limits, and configure digital outputs to monitor width variations effectively. Whether you're manually setting up or automating through Ethernet, this guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for optimizing your web handling processes.

Accessing the operator width measurement and monitoring screen from the home screen is a simple task to perform. In this brief video, we guide you through the steps necessary to set your SCU6x Controller for web width measurement and monitoring. 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.

SCU6x Controller Calibration for Precision Width Monitoring

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.
