Abstract:
A system comprising:a targeting device to target superabsorbent material along a length of at least one segment of an absorbent core material; a first sensor to generate a first signal representative of a change in a concentration of superabsorbent material along the length of at least one segment, wherein the change in the concentration is representative of a timing of the targeting device; a cutting device to separate the at least one segment from the absorbent core material to generate at least one absorbent core; a second sensor coupled to the cutting device to obtain a second signal representative of a timing of a cutting device for separating the at least one segment from the absorbent core material; and a drive control coupled to the first sensor, the second sensor and the targeting device, the drive control being adapted to adjust the timing of the targeting device by an amount based on a difference between the timing of the targeting device and the timing of the cutting device.
