ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor controlled wrapping machine including a separate SCR drive driving a corresponding permanent magnet motor, wherein an incremental optical encoder is coupled with each permanent magnet motor to provide a feedback signal indicative of motor position to a microprocessor. Both a main motor, which drives the infeed conveyor and the cutting head assembly, and a finwheel motor are used in combination with the SCR drive and an incremental optical encoder to provide a low cost alternative to a servo amplifier-controlled motor drive. Both the finwheel motor and the main motor are independently controlled from one another as a function of an oscillator, which forms a portion of the microprocessor circuit, and as a function of input switches and the respective feedback signal provided by the respective incremental optical encoder. The present invention provides a low cost alternative to wrapping machines incorporating expensive servo amplifier-controleld motor drives. Using an incremental optical encoder, the associated motor speed can be precisely controlled.
