Abstract
In this paper, the fuzzy control with variable input gain is applied to maintain the consistent tension in the process of taking up and releasing texture. In the process of discharging web on one side rolling it on another, the take-up drum gets smaller on the release drum side as it gets bigger on the rolling side, thus it is necessary to change the balance of velocity between the sides. In order to solve the problem a tension controller is necessary. The PI control method has been employed to maintain the consistent tension, but the PI control method produces a problem which requires an experienced worker with the traits of the machine, in order to perform the fine adjustments according to the environment of the process. For solving the above problem, we apply fuzzy control to the tension system, in order to produce a uniform roll. For the performance test, the fuzzy controller does not need to revise the parameters. Therefore the fuzzy controller exhibits an excellent additivity for the tension system where the system is changed with time.
