Have a project coming up that would involve taking two rolls of different material and spraying glue on the bottom roll and after the glue is applied then both of the fabrics be laminated together.
Boss wants us to do this with AC variable speed drives. Any professional thoughts on this. From what little talks we have had it looks like there would be some type of feed belt that would pull the fabric off the bottom roll and glue be sprayed on the fabric and then both the bottom and top roll go through some type of nip rollers to compress them together. Looks to me like you would tell the rollers to run at a certain speed which may equal feet or yards per minute and a encoder or dancer switch that would feed back into the plc or inverter to trim the speed up or down in order to ensure that both the rolls of fabric where feeding at the same rate. Anyone ever done something like this? Any suggestions on the correct approach to take.
