Roll-2-Roll Technologies has introduced two new lines of narrow web guiding systems with production and distribution already in full strength. These two new product lines are powered by Roll-2-Roll Technologies’ ARIS Web Position Sensors and controllers, which allow for fast and easy installation and operation.

The intelligent sensor and control systems allows converters to handle any material without the need of time costly calibration or adjustments.

The Roll-2-Roll Technologies Low Profile Narrow Web Displacement Guides are lightweight with height profiles of 3.5” and 4.5”. The low profile, lightweight design provides converters with a web guide system that can be placed in tight spaces within their converting lines.

The Low Profile Web Guides can guide webs up to 20” in width and are especially designed for nonwoven and narrow web converting applications.

The Roll-2-Roll Technologies Narrow Web Steering Guide can also guide web materials with widths up to 20” and is ideal for applications where a displacement guide cannot be used, especially after a long entry span.

Both web guides can be used for applications, such as edge guiding, center guiding, line guiding or contrast position guiding, using the recently introduced SCU5 controller. The SCU5 controller can process two sensors while guiding one web guide mechanism. The controller features include touchscreen language independent operator interface, communication through industrial ethernet such as EtherNet/IP or PROFINET and optional analog output.

“As a young company, we are quick to respond to customer needs, and these product are the result of customer feedback,” says Aravind Seshadri, president of Roll-2-Roll Technologies. “We leverage advanced technologies to make our products simple and easy to use. Our simple solutions save a tremendous amount of time for our customers while improving their process efficiency. That is the best way we can apply our knowhow of web handling.”
