ROTATION ANGLE-BASED WRAPPING

摘要

A wrapping apparatus (100) and method utilize a corner rotation angle-based wrap control that controls the rate at which packaging material (108) is dispensed based on the rotational position of one or more corners of the load (110) during relative rotation established between the load and a packaging material dispenser (106). The locations of one or more corners on a load may be sensed or otherwise calculated, and when combined with a sensed or calculated rotational position of the load relative to a packaging material dispenser, the locations of the corners relative to the packaging material dispenser may be determined and utilized to control the dispense rate of the packaging material dispenser, e.g., by determining which corner is currently driving an effective consumption rate of the load and/or determining when to apply a controlled intervention to the load.
