Customer Need

Due to customer demand the client needed an automated processing system capable dispersing proprietary material onto a web system. Custom Systems and Controls was asked to design and build an automated system to effectively perform with the following design specifications:

  • Speed Control
  • Tension Control
  • Directional (wind or unwind)
  • Fit into existing footprint

Solution

CSC designed and built a system that allowed the client to control all aspects of the process from one interface. This system allows for all rolls to function independently or synchronously.

Some features of this project are:

  • 6 Independent rolls (7axes)
  • Custom designed and fabricated print head
  • Custom software for controls
  • Custom high current drivers for LED light sources
  • Pressure monitoring of sensor
  • Digital control of solenoid (8)
