Process monitoring and fault diagnosis of the continuous annealing process lines (CAPLs)
have been a primary concern in industry. Stable operation of the line is essential to final …

Low cost and high productivity are two primary goals in design of a web transport system.
One approach to achieve low cost is through the implementation of observer techniques in …

There are many important applications in printed electronics and publishing industries that
use the principle of roll-to-roll manufacturing to make printed electronic devices with lower …

Braiding is a manufacturing process for making tubular braided products like braided ropes,
sutures and braided composite tubes. A yarn or tow tensioning system is required that …

Multi-layer printing technology is used wisely in printed electronics industry. The small
variation of web tension will reduce the quality of production. Thus, web velocity and tension …

The continuous annealing process line (CAPL) has complex process characteristics, such
as strong correlation of a large number of process variables and interconnected multi …

In this paper, the design and control aspects of a multispan tension simulator are presented.
The simulator consists of four driven rolls, including unwinder, winder, and two bridle rolls …

System friction or rotational roll inertia can cause a problem in estimation of web tension if
the process speed and/or its variation are high. Very few literatures have considered both …

There are many important applications in printed electronics and publishing industries that
use the principle of roll-to-roll manufacturing to make devices at high speeds with lower cost …

The focus of this study is on the development of a mathematical model for estimating tension
of a printing section by using the register error in R2R (Roll to Roll) e-Printing systems. In a …
