Maplesoft — Flexible Simulation Solutions to Address Your R2R Issues
Maplesoft is a global provider of advanced modeling and analysis solutions for engineers, and offers a range of specialty software and services for web manufacturers and converters.
What does Maplesoft offer?
The MapleSim modeling software supports R2R engineers to maintain product quality by exploring the web material response to roller layouts, and determining tension setpoints.
MapleSim has a specialty modeling library of pre-built rollers, nips, dancers and drive components to make it simple to model web lines and is far quicker than creating 3-D CAE mesh models.
How does simulation help?
MapleSim is a valuable modeling tool for engineers working on:
- TENSION CONTROL: By modeling the roller layout in MapleSim, you can determine the tension setpoints and web speed that avoid stretching or damaging the product before applying the settings to a physical machine.
- TESTING SOLUTIONS TO PRODUCT QUALITY ISSUES: When “set and test” approaches have limitations, MapleSim acts as a virtual testing platform to try out combinations of parameter changes and see the effects of changing drive or brake settings.
- VALIDATING CONTROL STRATEGIES: For precise control during converting and laminating processes, a MapleSim digital model can reveal insights about your machine operations.
