Analysis and Design of the Control Strategy of Three-roll Rewinder

By dividing the rewinding process of a three-roll rewinder into three zones, mathematical equations were formulated and diagrams were drawn to determine the structure factors of the rewinder, such as the diameters and spatial distribution of the rewinding rolls. The qualitative and quantitative analysis results show that the roll gap of the first two rewinding rolls and the angle between the line that connects the center points of the first two rewinding rolls and the vertical line play an important role in determining the ideal log diameter, which is related to the production capacity of the rewinder. Additionally, the ideal roll gap has a significant effect on the spatial distribution of the three rewinding rolls, the rewinding dead zone, and the rewinding quality of the log, which should be taken into full consideration when designing and improving rewinders to enhance production efficiency and satisfy ultra-high quality requirements.
