Periodic Tension Disturbance Attenuation in Web Process Lines Using Active Dancers

摘要: This paper investigates the role of active dancers in attenuation web tension disturbances a process line. A general structure dancer is considered; governing equations for spans upstream and downstream to roller are developed. structural limitation that facilitates efficient design system disturbance derived discussed based on developed model. An open-architecture experimental platform conducting real-time control experiments using system. The model experimentally identified standard identification techniques available literature. Three types designs were investigated system: proportional-integral-derivative controller, an internal linear quadratic optimal controller. Data collected from series three validate usefulness attenuating representative sample data presented discussed.
