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 episode of our webinar series on web guiding fundamentals, we explore the installation and operational intricacies of a steering guide. We cover the mechanics of a single roller installed on angled raceways, its bending action, and essential guidelines for entry and exit spans. We discuss the importance of maintaining a 90-degree exit span angle to minimize stress and prevent issues such as wrinkles and web tear. The video also explains the concept of the Instant Center and its role in web guide dynamics, providing installation tips to prevent oversteering and under steering.

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 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.

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.

In this video, we explore the nuances of using different sized sensors for center guiding in web applications with the SCU6x Controller. Normally, it’s recommended to use two sensors with the same measuring range and resolution to avoid confusion. However, this video demonstrates how it's possible to use sensors of varying sizes and addresses the potential confusion that may arise. You'll learn about sensor configuration, including how the screen displays information when different sensors are used, and how the web position indicator operates.

This video shows how to set the actuator parameters on the SCU5 controller. 

Since Roll-2-Roll Technologies offers several different actuators from different vendors, this allows for lot of flexibility for the end customer.
