1DC Sensors

Roll-2-Roll Technologies introduces their sophisticated splice detection system using the 1DC480 sensor. Demonstrating at speeds up to 1000 feet per minute, the video showcases the sensor’s capability to detect various splice types, including bright, dark, and transparent splices, alongside voids and defects. The sensor's versatility is highlighted as it differentiates between splices and web instability without the need for reconfiguration.

In this installment of the Webinar on Web Guiding Fundamentals, we delve deeper into the pivotal role of controllers in web guiding systems. The episode covers the function of controllers, components such as gain, operating voltage, and sensor inputs, and explores the control structure for web guide systems, including fixed gain proportional control and adaptive control technologies. By examining open loop and closed loop responses, we highlight the importance of optimal tuning for improved performance.
