Abstract
A device for processing a material web (3) that includes means (2) for conveying the material web in a longitudinal direction (L), wherein both an applied, in particular repeated printed image (9) and a control line (10, 11) extending in the longitudinal direction are configured on the material web (3). The control line (10, 11) has a defined position transverse to the material web (3), and the control line (10, 11) is scanned by means of a sensor (15, 16) in a material web (3) processing step. The control line (3) has a digital code structure in its longitudinal direction (L) that encodes a data set of at least four bits, in particular at least two bytes, of information content.
Claims28
A device for processing a material web, comprising:
- conveying means for conveying the material web in a longitudinal direction, wherein the material web includes at least one applied printed image;
- and
- a first control line applied to the material web, the first control line extending in the longitudinal direction of the material web, wherein the first control line comprises a linear structure and a digital code structure in the longitudinal direction, wherein the digital code structure comprises a data set, including a plurality of code segments having at least four bits of information content associated with the at least one printed image, and wherein one or more sections of the first control line is scanned by a sensor in a material web processing step to provide a lateral positional control of the material web relative to the conveying means during processing or manipulation of the material web.
