Abstract
The CD profile of a web of material being produced is monitored and controlled to update CD control settings on-line so that changes in the operation of a machine manufacturing the web can be corrected before significant profile deviations from a desired CD profile target result. Detected variances in the profile that satisfy a search criteria initiate searches for improved CD control settings. The CD control of the present application recognizes CD actuator mapping misalignments, determines improved CD control settings and applies the improved CD control settings to fine tune a CD controller and thereby improve upon or correct mapping misalignments. The CD control of the present application also recognizes non-smoothness of the setpoints of the CD actuators and controls the smoothness of the setpoints. Recognition and correction of either CD actuator mapping misalignments or CD actuator setpoint smoothness or both can be performed by the automated optimization of the present application.
