Abstract

Method for the determination of the winder quality of a film roll ( 10 ) of a film ( 30 ) on a winder roller ( 20 ) comprising the following steps:
determination of the roll hardness (WH) of the film roll ( 10 ) during the winding on of the film ( 30 ) on the winder roller ( 20 ), determination of a variation from the determined roll hardness (WH) of the film roll ( 10 ) from at least one standard value (V 1 , V 2 ) for the roll hardness (WH) of the film roll ( 10 ), determination of the film roll ( 10 ) using the determined variation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for the determination of the winder quality of a film roll of a film on a winder roller comprising:
determination of the roll hardness of the film roll during the winding on of the film on the winder roller as a measure for the size of air spaces between film layers of the film in a direct manner at the film roll,
determination of a variation from the determined roll hardness of the film roll from at least one standard value for the roll hardness of the film roll,
determination of the film roll using the determined variation;
wherein only for the two outermost layers the determination of the roll hardness occurs.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the step of determination of the roll hardness of the film roll occur continuously.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of determination of the roll hardness of the film roll during the winding on is contactlessly performed.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of determination of the roll hardness of the film roll during the winding on is performed using at least one of the following methods:
ultra sonic measurement
laser measurement
radar measurement, terahertz, microwaves
contacting track roller.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least two standard values define a standard area as upper standard value and lower standard value.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a step for the submission of at least one operating parameter is performed which influences the winder quality wherein these operating parameters are configured according to the dimension of the film of the film roll.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the determined winder quality and the determined variation is used as an input parameter for the regulation of at least one operating parameter which influences the winder quality, at least one of the following operating parameters:
web tension contact roller
web tension winder roller
contact pressure contact roller.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein during the regulation of at least one operating parameter a radial pressure pattern is considered which adjusts during the winding on of the film roll.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in direction transverse to the winding on direction of the film an at least twofold sectional determination of the roll hardness of the film roll occurs during the winding on to the winder roll.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein in the direction transverse to the winding on direction of the film the roll hardness or a manufacturing profile of the film is kept constant orby the regulation of at least one operation parameter.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein on the basis of the determined winder quality or the determined variation an alteration of a manufacturing profile of the film is performed in a previous production process.

12. A monitoring device for monitoring of the winder quality of a film roll of a film on a winder roll comprising at least a sensor device for a determination of a roll hardness for only two outermost layers of the film roll during the winding on of the film on the winder roll as a measure for the size of air spaces between film layers of the film in a direct manner at the film roll, further comprising a control device, which is configured for the determination of a variation of the determined roll hardness of the film roll of at least one standard value for the roll hardness of the film roll and the determination of the winder quality of the film roll by means of the determined variation.

13. The monitoring device according to claim 12 , wherein the control device is configured that at least the step of determination of the roll hardness of the film roll occurs continuously.

14. The monitoring device according to claim 12 , wherein the control device is configured for changing between manual, semi automatic and full automatic operation.
