DCC axial winder

The "DCC axial winder" functionality covers a wide variety of winder applications.
With a suitable device configuration, it allows a winder or unwinder to be configured for a
wide variety of applications, such as film production plants, printing machines, coating plants,
coil winders for wire-drawing machines or textile machines.
An axial winder solution usually comprises a winder drive, a continuous web and possibly
sensors. The axial winder is used to wind or unwind a continuous web with a defined
tension. The wound roll diameter changes during the winding process. The product thickness
increases or decreases during the winding or unwinding process. The drive system
calculates the current diameter on the basis of system variables and influences the speed or
torque, depending on the application, so that the tension and velocity of the web is
maintained according to specifications. This requires the current velocity of the web and the
rotational speed of the winder axis to be known.
Features
● Different winding and control methods can be applied, e.g. direct closed-loop tension
● Closed-loop control can be implemented through "Tension controller acting on torque
● Adaptation of tension controller and speed controller gain based on diameter or
● Diameter-based winding hardness characteristic
● Diameter calculation
● Acceleration-based torque pre-control
● Flexible sensor evaluation (e.g. dancer roll, load cell)
