Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Maintaining a level of tension on material as it is processed in a manufacturing operation assists in the processing of the material. The tension of the material as it is fed through a process station is maintained by a material sag portion, such as an unsupported portion of the material extending between a roll of the material and the process station. The formation of the sag portion and the loading of the material forming the sag portion are automated and adjusted with a system having a material storage retrieval system, a shuttle, a tensioning device, and/or a processing station.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A material tensioning system in a manufacturing process, the system comprising: a tensioning device, the tensioning device comprising: (1) a longitudinal position movement mechanism, wherein the longitudinal position movement mechanism is configured to adjust a position of a roll of a material between a first position and a second position in a longitudinal direction of the system that corresponds with a material flow direction; (2) a material sag s…
