B&R launches software library for controlling winding processes

The benefits are said to be impressive: tension can be stabilised even in the acceleration and deceleration phases by automatically adjusting both the speed control parameters of the drive and the feed-forward controls for speed and acceleration. Together with a precise calculation of the winder diameter, these features are claimed to take precision and robustness to a whole new level. High-quality printing on ultra-thin, highly elastic film demands this type of advanced technology, so the software library enables the efficiency of these machines to be improved.

Furthermore, the range of functions is not limited to printing machines; it includes all winding processes such as those involving wire saws, sheet metal, textiles, cables and much more.
