Claim 12:
13. A system for decurling a web from a roll of paper material, the system comprising:
a decurling station frame including—
a pair of rails that support the roll of paper material, and
support walls extending vertically from the pair of rails;
a pair of pull roller assemblies horizontally spaced apart from one another on the support walls, each of the pair of pull roller assemblies including—
a rotatable pull roller,
a rotatable pinch roller positioned proximate to the pull roller so that the pinch roller presses the web into the pull roller, and
an actuator configured to rotate the pull roller;
a rotatable decurl roller supported by the support walls and positioned between the pair of pull roller assemblies;
a decurling station actuator supported by the support walls and configured to vertically shift the decurl roller;
a sensor configured to sense a characteristic of the roll of paper material and generate sensor data; and
a controller configured to receive a signal representative of the sensor data and direct the decurling station actuator to vertically shift the decurl roller based at least in part on the sensor data.
