Using a winding model to reduce winding defects
Abstract
As a roll is wound, stresses in the roll develop - and change as the roll builds. The stresses on each layer in the wound roll influence whether the roll is likely to telescope, star, cinch, yield, block or ooze - to name just a handful of winding defects. Finding the right balance between "too tight" and "too loose" defects can take significant trial time and material. Changing several winder inputs simultaneously increases the problem complexity - especially if a wide range of materials is also involved. This paper discusses how a 1D winding model can be used to speed the troubleshooting process to optimize winder settings to avoid winding defects.
