The Importance of Proper Tension Control Throughout My Web Processing Line Paid Members Public
Presented by Bob Pasquale, New Era Converting Machinery This presentation will discuss the importance of proper tension throughout a web processing line. We will cover how web tension can impact the performance of various parts of a processing line including unwinding, coating, drying, laminating, embossing and winding, as well as
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Control Basics Paid Members Public
Presented by David Stephan, PCT Ebeam and Integration An examination of the five building blocks (Reference Generation, Tension Regulator, Speed Regulator, Feedback, and Compensation) that make up a tension loop for non-control personnel. Each block and its relevant parameters are discussed. Straight-forward examples are used to illustrate concepts without diving
Now We Can Laugh - Intermittent Electrical Problems Paid Members Public
Presented by Clarence Klassen, KlassENgineering At the mention of "electrical problems", many of us are filled with dread. This is made worse when the problem is intermittent. I will describe many common intermittent complaints and troubleshooting methods for electrical web handling equipment. In this presentation, an intermittent electrical
Now We Can Cry – Intermittent (but regular as rain) Web Problems Paid Members Public

This list is huge and includes things like baggy webs, wrinkling and winding defects. I call these intermittent but regular problems,
Roll-to-Roll Production of Perovskite Solar Cells Paid Members Public
Presented by Thad Druffel, University of Louisville The perovskite technology has been touted as a huge economic opportunity because the thin films can be deposited using low temperature solution phase processes that can be easily scaled to roll-to-roll platforms. The Conn Center for Renewable Energy Research has been exploring the
Rapid Thin Film Structure Development Enabled by Advanced R2R Equipment Design, Automation and In-Situ Monitoring Paid Members Public
Presented by Mike Simmons, Intellivation Mike Simmons, Intellivation, Loveland CO Mark George, Plasma Thin Films, Phoenix AZ Development of vacuum deposited layers for new applications requires a transition from small volume (sheets, wafers) to larger volume roll to roll (R2R) while maintaining process parameters and precision deposition. The ability to
