Abstract
A web-guiding system operates entirely on plant compressed air to automatically and accurately guide a moving web of material on a wide variety of processing lines. Materials such as paper, [...]
Reports on the creation of a low-cost way to endow ink-jet printers with precise paper-cutting abilities, by researchers at CEA Le Ripault in Monts, France. Combination of a relatively low-power single-emitter infrared laser diode with an ink that is transparent to visible light; Applications of the approach which include the cutting of complex shapes that can include partially scored cuts suitable for folding; Contact information.
The article looks at the combination of mechanical, electrical, and control engineering to reduce design and development costs while increasing production at the Paper Converting Machine Co., a builder of wet-wipes converting machines. Topics include the function of converting machines, the composition of wet wipes, and the mechatronic approach combing the software of SolidWorks models and the Motion Analyzer software by equipment manufacturer Allen-Bradley.
