SCU6x Controller

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.

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.

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.

In this educational video, we delve into the fundamentals of web guiding systems, essential for the Converting Industry. We'll explore four key components of a web guide: the guide structure or mechanism, the actuator, the sensor, and the controller. Learn how each element works together in a closed loop feedback control system to ensure precise web positioning. Ideal for industry professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of advanced web handling technologies.

In this demonstration, we showcase the flag detection capabilities of Roll-2-Roll Technologies' SCU6x Controllers combined with ODC Sensors. The setup includes both unwinding and rewinding mechanisms, with a sensor monitoring the edges of the web. The SCU6x Controller is configured to detect flags effectively, ensuring accurate monitoring even with web oscillation. The video highlights the ease of setting up the system, the parameters involved, and the robust nature of the algorithm, making it a reliable solution for web handling applications.
