System MXs Simplifying Tension Control System Design for Roll-to-Roll Transport Equipment

Customer Challenges Control-Design Workload and Prolonged Adjustment
for Compact, Narrow-Width Roll-to-Roll Equipment

Customer Challenges

Compact, narrow-width roll-to-roll transport equipment, such as test coaters, general-purpose coaters, and roll presses, often has the following needs:

  • sentiment_sad Only the necessary and sufficient control functions are needed
  • sentiment_sad Equipment needs to be commissioned in the shortest possible time with minimal engineering effort
  • sentiment_sad A more compact control panel and equipment footprint is required

At the same time, insufficient tension control or transport accuracy can lead to:

  • sentiment_sad Quality variation during coating and pressing
  • sentiment_sad Longer control design and adjustment, delaying start-up and the transition to mass production

Solutions Easy and Reliable Tension-Control System Construction with System MXs

Solutions

1. Easily Build Tension Control

  • sentiment_very_satisfied Packages the tension-control software required for roll-to-roll, allowing customers to build the control system easily
  • sentiment_very_satisfied No need to create control logic individually, greatly reducing control-system engineering work
  • sentiment_very_satisfied Can be introduced with the minimum configuration matched to equipment specifications

2.More Efficient Start-up and Adjustment

  • sentiment_very_satisfied A touch-panel HMI lets customers intuitively switch axis direction and adjust operation
  • sentiment_very_satisfied Shortens the adjustment period during start-up
  • sentiment_very_satisfied Data monitoring supports data collection and analysis when problems occur

3.Space and Labor Savings

  • sentiment_very_satisfied An integrated configuration of required functions saves control-panel space
  • sentiment_very_satisfied A simple configuration reduces labor and staffing requirements across the equipment

System MXs makes it possible to achieve the necessary and sufficient control with minimum engineering work.
