82 | HIGH SPEED MEDIA MANAGEMENT DEVICE | EP94923189.0 | 1994-06-08 | EP0703862A1 | 1996-04-03 | TOLLE, Charles, V.; HITZ, Mark, A.; JOHNSON, Robert, P.; SZABO, Steven, C. |
A high speed media management device has tractor means (22) for moving a web (16) through the device past a plurality of work stations at each of which the web may be treated. Relatively high web tension is maintained throughout its travel path. Counting means (76) near the beginning of the web path generate a count signal with the passage of each increment of web. The accumulated count signals are compared to numbers stored in a plurality of registers, each register associated with a work station and each containing a count representative of web travel distance relative to the work station. The first register count corresponds to the distance required to accelerate the web from a stop. The remaining registers store that count and a separate count representing the distance between the first station and the corresponding station. When the counter contents equals the count in a register, an actuating signal initiates a treatment activity at the associated work station. At predetermined intervals thereafter, additional actuating signals are generated and applied. | ||||||
