Design and Control of Guide-wheel-type Paper Alignment Mechanism to Improve Production Reliability of Corrugated Paper Plants [PDF]

Keywords: servomotor, corrugated paper, photo-couple, paper alignment mechanism

The manufacturing process for corrugated paper products is usually mass production and batch-by-batch production. Therefore, a high-speed mass production is required. Because the conveyer speed of the production line in a corrugated paper plant is very fast, unwanted material loss or even process interruption may occur during the cutting or clipping process if the corrugated paper on the conveyer is slanted. Hence, the paper alignment on a conveyer is important and necessary. In this study, we install photo-couples at both edges directly over the conveyer path to detect whether or not the corrugated paper is slanted from the number difference between non-activated photo-couples of the two edges. The deviated angle is calculated through a computer program using the detected information, and a servomotor-driven wheel aligns the paper in accordance with the calculated angle. This work reduces the material waste and promotes the production reliability and utility rate of the material for a corrugated paper plant.
