Abstract:
1. An automatic registration set point control method, said method being suitable for use in connection with a high speed web converting process for manufacturing a composite article from a sequential addition of component parts during a production run of composite articles, said method comprising: detecting a placement of a first component part using a first sensor, said first sensor operating at a first set point to trigger a registration control action associated with the placement of the first component part; generating an image indicating a position of the first component part subsequent to the registration control action using a second sensor positioned apart from the first sensor; comparing to a target the position of the first component part indicated in the generated image; and selectively adjusting the first set point as a function of a difference between the position of the first component part indicated in the generated image and the target.
