Rider Roll Drive Configurations for PM Winders, 2001 Process Control, Electrical & Info. Conference Proceedings
Robert G. Lucas, Pete Werner--The function and proper configuration of drives applied on PM winders and unwinds are reasonably well recognized. The appropriate application and configuration of the less dominate auxiliary driven sections (guide or lead-in roll, rider roll, paper and spreader rolls) are often given limited attention, and are poorly understood.
This paper will review the application criteria and configuration for DC and AC drive systems for PM winder rider roll drive sections.
