ROTOGRAVURE
PRINTING MACHINE
INTRODUCTION
Rotogravure runs at 150m/s.
Uniform speed of DC drive and tension of the film
is to be maintained for desired output.
This cannot be done manually.
Tension Controller Circuit is implemented using
load cells and PID controller.
BASIC MODEL
BLOCK DIAGRAM
LOAD CELL
An electromechanical type of transducer.
Converts mechanical force into electrical signal.
The sheet being printed will apply the tension on
load cell.
Load cell will concert the tension applied into an
electrical signal.
INSTRUMENTATION
AMPLIFIER
A type of differential amplifier which eliminate
the need for input impedance matching and
thus make the amplifier particularly suitable for
use in measurement and test equipment.
Signal from load cell will be given as input to
the instrumentation amplifier.
Instrumentation amplifier will remove the noise
and amplify the signal by adjusting suitable
gain value.
PID CONTROLLER
The proportional-integral-derivative (PID)
controller is a generic control loop feedback
mechanism widely used in industrial control
systems.
The algorithm involves three separate
parameters; the Proportional, the Integral and
Derivative values.
The Proportional value determines the reaction to
the current error.
Contd..
The Integral determines the reaction based on
the sum of recent errors.
The Derivative determines the reaction to the
rate at which the error has been changing.
By "tuning" the three constants in the PID
controller algorithm, the controller can provide
control action designed for specific process
requirements.
Contd..
In our project the output of instrumentation
amplifier is given to PID controller along with
the feedback input.
Reference input is also given to PID controller in
order to specify the desire tension along with
the speed at which the machine is to run.
PID controller will compare the reference
voltage and feedback voltage and will bring the
feedback voltage closer to reference voltage,
which result into control output from PID
controller.
MICROCONTROLLER
AT89c2051
8-bit microcontroller with 2K bytes
reprogrammable flash memory.
Microcontroller will help us to display the output
signals from load cell, PID controller and load cell
with proper programming.
DC MOTOR DRIVE
The controlled output from PID controller will be
given to motor driver.
The drive and control speed of the film cylinder
depending upon the tension applied by the
sheet on load cells.
