I might be overthinking my problem, but I need some help. I am trying to write a formula in my plc to calculate the footage of paper being unrolled on a paper splicer machine. The total length of the rolled paper is 31,224 feet using the L=Pi(D^2/4-d^2/4)/thickness formula. The motor runs at 1450RPMs with a 2:1 gearbox. What is the formula to figuring out the amount of paper being unrolled every minute.
