Hi all,
Here is my first question on this forum.
I hope I'm not mistaken about the topic.
My english is not very goog .....
I would like to solve a synchronization problem between 2 motors.
This involves rolling up a paper reel (max 20Kg) from the left reel to the right reel.
The right reel is tractor and the left spool is freewheeling.
The speed must be constant and a maximum of 2 m / s
To calculate the speed, I have put an encoder between the 2 motors.
My problem is the tape during the winding must always remain taut (stretched).
I thought of stepper motors, but I will not be able to brake the unwinding reel.
I thought of synchronous motors for its constant speed despite the load, but I also don't know how to brake the left reel with these motors.
Then DC motors but I have to adapt the torque as the reel becomes heavier.
Do you have an idea to solve this problem?
Thank you
Patrick
