Web Processing Equipment Positioning Apparatus

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the equipment mounting system from a static fixed position to a dynamic reconfigurable system. The positioning apparatus includes a linear axis with a carriage that can move along the linear axis, and a rotary axis that can rotate the mount and equipment. This dynamic positioning system allows the equipment to be moved between multiple web processing stations, enabling the web processing machine to handle different products and processes, thereby improving machine versatility while maintaining ease of operation through automated positioning control.

The patent applies the preliminary action principle by pre-positioning the equipment at multiple potential stations along the linear axis and preparing the positioning system in advance. The controller is pre-programmed with station positions and equipment parameters. When a product change is needed, the system quickly retrieves pre-stored positioning information and executes the movement to the appropriate station, enabling fast conversion between different products while maintaining equipment stability during operation at each station.

The patent applies the universality principle by designing a multi-functional positioning apparatus that combines linear movement along the axis, rotary movement for angle adjustment, and automated control functions. The same positioning system serves multiple purposes: moving equipment between stations, orienting equipment at different angles, and accommodating various product types. This universal positioning platform reduces the need for separate specialized mechanisms for each function, thereby improving product variety capability while managing overall system complexity through integrated design.
