    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for controlling the relative positions or phasing of advancing substrates and/or components in absorbent article converting lines. The systems and methods may utilize feedback from technologies, such as vision systems, sensors, remote input and output stations, and controllers with synchronized embedded clocks to accurately correlate component placement detections and placement control on an absorbent article converting process. The systems and methods may accurately apply the use of precision clock synchronization for both instrumentation and control system devices on a non-deterministic communications network. In turn, the clock synchronized control and instrumentation network may be used to control the substrate position. As such, the controller may be programmed to the relative positions of substrates and components along the converting line without having to account for undeterminable delays.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for detecting and rejecting defective absorbent articles from a converting line. In particular, the systems and methods may utilize feedback from technologies, such as vision systems, sensors, remote input and output stations, and controllers with synchronized embedded clocks to accurately correlate inspection results and measurements from an absorbent article converting process. As such, the systems and methods may accurately apply the use of precision clock synchronization for both instrumentation and control system devices on a non-deterministic communications network. In turn, the clock synchronized control and instrumentation network may be used to control a reject system on converters of absorbent articles. In some embodiments, the controller will reject only defective absorbent articles without the need to reject non-defective absorbent articles.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses sensing emitted light caused by fluorescence of adhesive to determine characteristics of absorbent structures during the manufacture of absorbent articles. Some absorbent articles may have absorbent structures that include an absorbent core disposed between a topsheet and a backsheet. And one or more of the absorbent structure components may be assembled with adhesive that fluoresces when excited by ultraviolet light. Aspects of the present methods relate to an inspection system that may be configured to interact with, monitor, and/or control a converting line. The inspection system may include a radiation source that illuminates a surface of an absorbent structure with ultraviolet light. A sensor may be adapted to receive light caused by fluorescence of the adhesive while being irradiated with the ultraviolet light. In turn, the inspection system may determine characteristics of the absorbent structure based on the detected emitted light.
