System for Automatic Web Guiding for Roll-to-Roll Machine Working in a Start-Stop Mode

Abstract:

Web guiding used in roll-to-roll material processing machinery is connected with a number of issues including the maintenance of the web tension, the precision of the lateral web displacement, the accuracy of transport positioning of the web, and the selection of web transport velocity. The article presents the precision of the lateral web displacement issue during the start-stop work mode of the web transport. A model of a system for automatic web guiding is shown. The requirements of the lateral web guiding for transporting material over rollers in a processing machine working in a start-stop mode are presented. The control system is discussed, particularly its hardware structure and behaviour. The obtained functionality of the control system enables its application in roll-to-roll material processing machines, working either in the start-stop mode or continuously.
