Title:
APPARATUS FOR CORRECTING MEANDERING OF CONTINUOUS SHEET FOR ABSORBENT PRODUCT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/014733
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for correcting meandering, which comprises: a sensor (30) for detecting the position of an edge of a continuous sheet (3) in the width direction of the sheet (3); and a meandering connection section (50) for correcting meandering of the sheet (3) on the basis of a signal from the sensor (30). A detection section (33) of the sensor (30) is moved by a motor (44) to a stop position (PS, PM, PL) corresponding to the width-direction dimension of the sheet (3). For the purpose of this movement, the detection section (33) is first moved to a reference position (P0). At this position, a sensor head (31) abuts against a bearing member (45b), the load of the motor (44) increases, and the drive current of the motor (44) exceeds a threshold value (Id0). The motor (44) is reversely driven when this excess is detected. If a rotary encoder (47) connected to the motor (44) generates a suitable number of pulses, the detection section (33) reaches the stop position (PS, PM, PL). At this time, the motor (44) is stopped.
