What is Converting?? The Siemens Converting Toolbox Web Handling with SIMOTION, SINAMICS and SIMATIC
Converting is Web Handling & Web Processing Webs include paper, film, foil, nonwovens, and other thin flexible continuous materials.
Roll to Roll Web Processing Converting processes that start and end with a wound roll of material are called roll-to-roll (R2R). Roll-to-roll Web Processes
Roll to Sheet Web Processing Converting processes that start and end as a sheeted product are called roll-to-sheet. Roll-to-sheet Handling Cutting
Converting Machines / Applications Slitter Rewind Coating & Laminating Sheeter / Rotary Knife Tissue / Towel Lines Label / Die Cut Core Winder
Converting Applications and Process Requirements Unwind Process Rewind Unwind Register control Rewind Knife / Perforator Tension control Position Based Web Control Tension control Automatic splice Automatic splice

Performance Review - Diameter Calculation Methods Comparing the Calculation Methods In analyzing diameter calculator methods, two factors are considered: Constant speed operation vs. acceleration profile Update frequency of the diameter calculator logic Evaluation of actual results. The following analysis will look at three calculation modes under different conditions.
Performance Review - Diameter Calculation Methods Constant web speed: 100 m/min RED GREEN BLUE - V/n diameter - INTEGRAL diameter - POSITION diameter
Performance Review - Diameter Calculation Methods Acceleration profile: 50 m/min > 300 m/min > 10 m/min Update (sampling) time: 6 ms RED GREEN BLUE - V/n diameter - INTEGRAL diameter - POSITION diameter
Performance Review - Diameter Calculation Methods Acceleration profile: 50 m/min > 300 m/min > 10 m/min Update (sampling) time: 1 ms RED GREEN BLUE - V/n diameter - INTEGRAL diameter - POSITION diameter
The Converting Toolbox Libraries (Available blocks) General tools Cycle time determination Ramp-function generator (with or without jerk limiting) Characteristic block (20 or 180 interpolation points) Linear interpolation between two interpolation points Interpolation of a point table Limit value monitoring Braking distance and time calculation Drive functions Recording a friction characteristic, e.g. for the winding block Diameter Calculator (with multiple modes) Activating interfaces Closed-loop control related functions PT1 element Derivative action element/integrator DT1 filter Dead zone and dead band filter Limiter with feedback signal Limit value monitoring PID controller Sliding average value generator Setpoint control
