Paper web winding: roll quality improvement through the maximization of coupling between drive rolls and driven built paper roll

Abstract

A System and Method for Adaptive Paper Web Winding that adjusts Operational Parameters, including torque, pressure, tension, acceleration, Jerk Rate, and sheet speed, in response to Operational Data and feedback. The system, in one embodiment, comprises a Front Drum with adjustable torque control, a Rider Roll with variable pressure regulation, an Unwind Section with tension control, and a Control Unit configured to maximize coupling between drive rolls and driven built paper roll. The method involves detecting the Coefficient of Friction of a Paper Web, then adjusting Operational Parameters in response to Operational Data and feedback. This invention improves efficiency and reliability in paper winding operations by automating adjustments to accommodate variations in the Coefficient of Friction of a Paper Web.
