      What changes constantly, is optimized with difficulty, and cannot be bought or sold; yet without it, making web based products is impossible? The answer: Web Handling Technology. Ten years ago 3M established a Web Handling ...
    • Measurement and modeling of bearing drag in idler rollers 

      Dobbs, J. N.; Kedl, D. M. (Oklahoma State University, 1997-06)
      Idler roller bearing drag plays a critical role when modeling web tension in a web line system. Lubrication, line speed, radial and axial loads on bearings can influence drag, which is directly reflected as a tension load ...
    • Shear wrinkling in isolated spans 

      Good, J. K.; Kedl, D. M.; Shelton, J. J. (Oklahoma State University, 1997-06)
      Web wrinkling is a problem which plagues the web process industry. Most webs are quite thin, on the order of 4-150 μm, and become subject to lateral shear during transport either by misaligned rollers or by guide rolls. ...
    • Wrinkle dependency on web roller slip 

      Dobbs, J. N.; Kedl, D. M. (Oklahoma State University, 1995-06)
      The shear forces in a web introduced from an untrammed roller create wrinkles that are affected by web twisting or slipping on the upstream roller. The web span bounded between the untrammed and upstream rollers behaves ...
