Abstract:
A method of measuring feeding velocity of a web, on which a scale having pitches different from pitches of a mask are formed, is provided. The method includes: calculating a number of vibrations of a moiré image of light passing through the mask and the scale; calculating pitches of the scale of the fed web based on the calculated number of vibrations of the moiré image; averaging the pitches of the scale so that a change in a pitch between adjacent timings among the calculated pitches of the scale is minimized; extracting first signals corresponding to our phases for one pitch based on the averaged pitches of the scale; calculating two second signals for forming a Lissajous circle from the first signals; and calculating an angle of the Lissajous circle by the two second signals and then calculating the feeding velocity of the web by using the calculated angle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of measuring web feeding velocity by using an encoder. A method of measuring feeding velocity of a web, on which a scale having a different pitch from a pitch of a mask is formed, includes: calculating a number of vibrations of a moiré image of light passing through the mask and the scale; calculating scale pitches of the fed web based on the calculated number of vibrations of the moiré image; averaging the pitches so that a change in a pitch between adjacent timings among the calculated scale pitches is minimized; extracting first signals corresponding to a plurality of phases for one pitch based on the averaged pitch; calculating second signals for forming a Lissajous circle from the signal corresponding to the plurality of phases; and calculating an angle of the Lissajous circle by the second signals for forming the Lissajous circle and then calculating the feeding velocity of the web by using the calculated angle.
