摘要： Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection in deposition of acquisition material, which on current machines frequently flips and is difficult to detect when it has flipped causing manufacturers to scrap thousands of products. Using the present invention, defects are able to be detected by discerning a difference in the appearance from side to side with a vision camera, and an acquisition inverter can flip the material to a correct orientation.

摘要： A motor driver drives a motor that controls a position of an object based on a command from a controller. The motor driver includes: a correction command output part that outputs a correction command for correcting a position of the motor based on a position of the object detected by a displacement sensor that detects the position of the object; and a position controller that outputs a drive signal for driving the motor based on the command from the controller and the position of the motor detected by an encoder that detects the position of the motor, or based on the correction command and the position of the motor detected by the encoder.

摘要： In an example of the disclosure, a first optical sensor positioned adjacent to a web path and having a first sensor beam is utilized to identify a first signal value as the first optical sensor detects an eye-mark as the web is moved along the web path. A second optical sensor positioned adjacent to the web path, downstream of the first optical sensor, and having a second sensor beam, is utilized to identify a second signal value as the second optical sensor detects the eye-mark. A lateral misalignment of the web is determined based upon the first signal value, the second signal value, and a lateral offset of the first sensor beam from the second sensor beam.

摘要： Web lifter and/or stabilizer and method of lifting and/or stabilizing a travelling web and for coating a web. The device creates a web hold down force via a negative pressure slot at its exit side, which draws the web down against the surface on the entry side. The device can be actuated to move the web relative to a slot die coater off the die lips and stop the application of slurry to the web, thereby creating uncoated regions on the web surface. The device can then be actuated to move the web back into contact with the coater to start the application of slurry to the web, thereby creating coated regions on the web surface. Web lifting can be accomplished by rotating the device in first and second directions to lift the web off of the slot die coater and return the web back into contact with the coater.

摘要： The present application relates to rolled good feeding device and method. Material feeding devices and methods are provided for conveying material from material rolls. The material roll may be adjusted in the longitudinal direction during the feeding process by a rectifying frame to aid in maintaining alignment during the unrolling. Tension of the unrolled material may be monitored and unrolling speeds of the feeding device can be adjusted to maintain tension of the material within a range for that material. Aspects also contemplate elements to feed multiple rolled materials simultaneously for subsequent processing in combination as layered materials.

摘要： Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection both before and after application of component patches to a traveling web to create a product. Web defect detection may be provided by way of at least one visual inspection station located upstream from the patch applicator. Patch defect detection may be accomplished by way of a visual inspection station located proximate the patch applicator. If defects are detected in either the traveling web or the component patch prior to patch application, patch application may be prevented until both a satisfactory web and patch are provided. If defects are detected after patch application, the resulting product may be culled. Furthermore, the apparatus may be provided with diagnostic software to warn against extant or imminent machine complications.
