Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
In a wide range of manufacturing situations, feedstock material, stored in rolls, is processed in a continuous manner. For example, in the manufacture and subsequent processing or conversion of aluminium foil, thin plastic film and paper products, systems of rollers are used to convey the materials to the point(s) of conversion, at which it may be coated, slit and re-spooled, glued and combined with other rolled feedstock material, chemically treated or formed and cut. Following discussion with several major rolled products users, we have highlighted a generic problem. This is due to lateral (across the web) variations in machine-direction tension. Measurement and subsequent characterisation, using wavelet theory, of the manner in which the non-uniformity of lateral distribution occurs, as a function of its position down the web length, is the aim of the programme. The model resulting from this work should form the basis of an adaptive or predictive control system.
