Das laterale Laufverhalten von Stahlprozessbändern – Erweiterung der Betrachtungen auf Bänder mit geringer Bandspannung

Abstract

For steel processing belts, the tracking is typically performed by the feedback controlled drum adjustment. If the belt tension is high, there are several models hat can describe the lateral movement behavior. After a presentation of these models for lateral running, approaches for the description of steel belts with lower tension are given. Measurements on a test stand for steel process belts show the application limits of the models. Finally, it will be shown how the discrete element method can be used to simulate the sideways running of a belt.
