A method of controlling a wrap system of a round baler includes determining a current characteristic of a supply roll of wrap material related to a current weight of the supply roll, and controlling rotation of a pair of spool rollers based on the current characteristic of the supply roll. As the current characteristic indicates a decrease in weight, the rotation of the pair of spool rollers is controlled to achieve a desired acceleration rate of the spool rollers, such that a leading edge of the wrap material is ejected from a nip formed between the pair of spool rollers at an ejection trajectory that is within an allowable angular range relative to a tangent of the nip, so that the leading edge of the wrap material passes through an access and into a baling chamber of the round baler.
A method of controlling a wrap system of a round baler, the wrap system including a supply roll of a wrap material and a pair of spool rollers forming a nip therebetween, wherein the pair of spool rollers receive the wrap material from the supply roll through the nip, the method comprising:
A method of controlling a wrap system of a round baler, the wrap system including a supply roll of a wrap material and a pair of spool rollers forming a nip therebetween, wherein the supply roll of the wrap material rests against an elastomeric outer surface of a first roller of the pair of spool rollers, wherein the pair of spool rollers receive the wrap material from the supply roll through the nip, and wherein a driver outputs a torque that is transmitted to the pair of spool rollers for rotating the pair of spool rollers, the method comprising:
A round baler comprising:
