Strip feeding and control system

摘要

A material positioning and registering system for patterned material incorporating a computer with associated memory and software. A material moving system employing a drive roller with associated pressure roller in a novel pinch roller system, moves the material. A motion detecting sensing device driven by the pressure roller and an optical sensor for viewing the patterned material, each provide outputs to a computer which, in turn, provides control of material movement and optical sensor operation and may, provide signals for initiating machining of the patterned material when the pattern is properly located relative to a designated work station.
