연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A method of controlling a moving web in relation to a selected transverse position comprising positioning a first positioning guide proximate a second positioning guide wherein the second positioning guide has a mechanism for positioning the web having minimal backlash. The web is passed through the first positioning guide and the second positioning guide. A sensor detects the transverse position of the moving web at the second positioning guide. The sensor transmits the transverse location of the web at the second positioning guide to a controller. The controller manipulates a zero-backlash actuator wherein the zero-backlash actuator is coupled to the second positioning guide such that the transverse position of the web is controllable to within a preselected dimension of the selected transverse position.

The method of claim 1 wherein the preselected dimension of the selected transverse position is less than about 0.004 inches. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the preselected dimension of the selected transverse position is between about 0.0001 inches and 0.004 inches. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the preselected dimension of the selected transverse position is less than about 0.0001 inches. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein an exit span of the first positioning guide is less than about one-half a web width. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanism for moving the web having zero-backlash comprises a plurality of flexure plates. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the method of adjusting the web with the second positioning guide comprises: fixing a base in a desired position; disposing a first base roller and a second base roller within the base wherein an axis of the first base roller and an axis of the second base roller are approximately parallel; disposing at least one frame roller within a frame; coupling the frame to the base with the plurality of flexure plates wherein the plurality of flexure plates are positioned such that the frame moves relative to the base at about a midpoint of the entrance tangent line of the web with the first frame roller; disposing the web from the first base roller to the first frame roller in the frame; disposing the web from the last frame roller to the second base roller; sensing the transverse location of the web; computing an error of the transverse location of the web relative to a set point; relaxing the error to the zero-backlash actuator; and manipulating the actuator coupled to the frame such that the frame rotates at about the midpoint of an entrance tangent line of the web with the first frame roller such that the position of the web at about an exit tangent line on the last frame roller changes so as to reduce the error of the transverse location of the moving web. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein the transverse location of the web is sensed at about at the exit tangent line of the moving web from the last frame roller. 9. The method of claim 7 and further comprising disposing first and second frame rollers within the frame wherein an axis of the first frame roller and an axis of the second frame roller are approximately parallel. 10. The method of claim 7 and further comprising coupling the actuator to the frame with a flexible plate. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor comprises at least a fifty hertz sensor with less than about twelve microns of resolution. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the controller comprises a proportional-integral controller. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the controller updates data from the sensor at a rate of at least about one hundred hertz. 14. The method of claim 1 wherein the zero-backlash actuator is capable of frequencies of greater than five hertz. 15. The method of claim 1 and further comprising controlling the first positioning guide with a feedback control system independent of the control system for the second positioning guide. 16. An assembly for controlling a transverse position of a moving web comprising: a first positioning guide having a first entrance span and a first exit span wherein the first positioning guide manipulates a transverse position of the moving web; a first loop control system cooperating with the first positioning guide wherein the first closed loop controller manipulates the first positioning guide to control the transverse position of the moving web; a second positioning guide having a second entrance span and a second exit span wherein the second exit span is less than about one half a width of the web; and a second closed loop control system cooperating with the second positioning guide wherein the second closed loop controller manipulates the second positioning guide to control the position of the moving web to within less than 0.004 inches of the setpoint; wherein the second positioning guide comprises: a base fixed in a selected position wherein the base comprises a first base roller and a second base roller wherein an axis of the first base roller is approximately parallel to an axis of the second base roller; a frame comprising at least one roller; and a plurality of flexure plates coupling the frame to the base wherein the plurality of flexure plates are positioned such that the frame moves relative to the base at about a midpoint of an entrance tangent line of the web with the first frame roller. 17.
