Latest Patents
Perreault holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for determining slipping in a nip roller." This invention provides a method for determining the presence of slipping of a driven nip roller relative to the web in a web printing press. The method involves systematically changing the speed of the nip driver while monitoring the corresponding change in web tension difference across the nip. The relationship between the tension difference and the speed of the nip driver is analyzed to determine the presence of slipping. If the tension difference is non-linear or the slope of the relationship is significantly less than expected, slipping is identified. This invention allows operators to receive slip indications, including the direction of the slip, enabling them to take corrective actions to maintain a non-slip condition.
