Abstract
The invention relates to a control for a machine for producing paper padding material. The machine comprises a drive motor which transports sheets of paper through a shaping device. In this shaping device, the sheets of paper are shaped to paper padding material which is then cut to the desired length in a cutting device. The inventive control allows for an automatic memorization of a manually selected storage length.
Claims16
A control (10, 40) for a machine for the manufacture of paper padding, wherein the machine comprises a drive motor having a cutting device and a shaping device to form a piece of padding from a paper web and to cut it off in a desired length, comprising
- an input means (18) to input a desired length of padding;
- a control unit (10, 40) having a memory to control the drive motor in response to the input means (18),
- wherein an activation of the input means (18) starts the drive motor and a deactivation of the input means triggers a cutting procedure and stops the drive motor so that the time period of the activation of the input means corresponds to the length of padding produced, and
- wherein the control unit (10, 40) automatically stores the length of padding produced in the memory on deactivation of the input means (18) and makes it available for a further call up.
