Abstract:
One or more actuator driven devices on a sheet forming machine receive power and engage in bi-directional Communications with one or more quality control systems either by having no physically connected cables to transmit the power to the actuators (46a, 46b, 46c ... 46n) and no physically connected cables used for the bi-directional communications; or contactless power and communication on a power cable; or a cable connected from the power source to the actuators to provide both power and bi-directional communications; or power is provided to the actuators by a cable and the bi-directional communications are wireless .
