Optimierung der Wickelgüte in der Spinnvliesproduktion mit Fuzzy Control

This work introduces a new control concept for a re-winder in the spunweb production. The rewinder serves to cut the spunweb-rolls into several rolls of customer-specified width. High customer demands toward roll quality were, so far, only met unsatisfactorily with PID control of the web-tension. The newly developed control concept uses fuzzy control. It provides a modular design and is specifically adjusted to the different states of the machine that occur during production. It was proven that this concept rapidly increases roll quality. The control concept is implemented on a PLC and used in industrial spunweb production at Freudenberg Vliesstoffe KG in Kaiserslautern.
