Analysis of the Effect of Idle Rollers on Tension Vibration in Discontinuous Web Transport Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tension control and precise conveyance in web-handling machines are critical to ensure product quality. This paper is focused on analyzing the effect of idle rollers on flexible web tension vibration for discontinuous web transport systems. First, the simplified algebraic dynamical models of the inertia and friction are presented, which plays an important role for the design of idle rollers’ layout systems. Second, the tension vibration test method and tension data collection scheme are introduced, respectively. Finally, based on the mathematical model and test strategies, an experiment platform is established. Several experiments have been performed to show idle rollers’ effect on tension control and tension vibration in the discontinuous web transport system.
