Description

Vorrichtung zum Spenden von Etiketten, insbesondere von selbstklebenden Device for dispensing labels, in particular self-adhesive

Etiketten, auf GegenständeLabels, on objects

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Vorrichtungen bzw. Etikettieraggregate zum Etikettieren von Gegenständen mit selbstklebenden Etiketten, die an einer Abzieh- oder Spenderkante von einem die Etiketten tragenden bahnförmigen Trägermaterial (Trägerfolie) durch Umlenken dieses Materials um die Spenderkante abgezogen und an den jeweiligen zu etikettierenden Gegenstand übergeben werden, sind bekannt.Devices or labeling units for labeling objects with self-adhesive labels, which are withdrawn at a Abzieh- or donor edge of a label-carrying web-shaped carrier material (carrier film) by deflecting this material around the dispenser edge and passed to the respective object to be labeled, are known.

Für das Bewegen des Trägermaterials über die Spenderkante und damit für das Abziehen der Etiketten von dem Trägermaterial ist bei bekannten Vorrichtungen eine erste Vorschubeinheit vorgesehen, die durch einen Antrieb intermittierend bzw. getaktet angetrieben wird, sodass z. B. in jedem Arbeitstakt an einen an der Spenderkante vorbeibewegten Gegenstand ein Etikett aufgebracht werden kann. Eine weitere Vorschubeinheit dient zum kontinuierlichen Abziehen des aus den Etiketten und dem Trägermaterial bestehenden Etikettenmaterials von einer Vorratsrolle und zum Fördern dieses Etikettenmaterials in einen Schlaufenschacht eines Schlaufenbildners, der in Förderrichtung zwischen dieser weiteren Vorschubeinheit und der Spenderkante vorgesehen ist, um eine Anpassung zwischen dem kontinuierlichen Abziehen des Etikettenmaterials von der Vorratsrolle und der getakteten Vorschubbewegung des Etikettenmaterials bzw. des Trägermaterials über die Spenderkante zu erreichen. Der Schlaufenbildner formt aus dem Etikettenmaterial im Schlaufenschacht ohne Umlenkrollen und nur unter Verwendung einer Luft- oder Gasströmung eine so genannte „massenlose" oder „annähernd massenlose" Schlaufe, sodass für die intermittierende Vorschubbewegung des Etikettenmaterials bzw. für den Start-Stopp- Betrieb der das Etikettenmaterial über die Spenderkante bewegenden Vorschubeinheit ständig genügend Etikettenmaterial bereit steht. Ein weiterer Antrieb ist für eine Aufnahme bzw. einen Wickeldorn für eine Leerspule vorgesehen, auf die das leere, d.h. die Etiketten nicht mehr aufweisende bahnförmige Trägermaterial aufgewickelt wird.For moving the carrier material over the dispenser edge and thus for the removal of the labels from the carrier material, a first feed unit is provided in known devices, which is driven by a drive intermittently or clocked, so z. B. can be applied in each work cycle to an object moved past the dispenser edge a label. Another feed unit is used for continuously removing the existing from the labels and the carrier label material from a supply roll and for conveying this label material in a loop slot of a loop forming, which is provided in the conveying direction between this further feed unit and the dispenser edge to an adjustment between the continuous peeling of the label material from the supply roll and the clocked advancing movement of the label material or of the carrier material over the dispenser edge. The looper forms from the label material in the loop shaft without pulleys and only using an air or gas flow, a so-called "massless" or "almost massless" loop, so that for the intermittent feed movement of the label material or for the start-stop operation of the Label material over the dispenser edge moving feed unit constantly enough label material is available. Another drive is provided for a receptacle or a winding mandrel for an empty reel, to which the empty, ie the labels no longer having web-shaped carrier material is wound up.

Nachteilig bei bekannten Vorrichtungen ist, dass es insbesondere bei dünnem Trägermaterial zu einem Schlagen oder Flattern, d.h. zu einem oszillierenden, seitlichen Ausweichen des Etiketten- oder Trägermaterials im Verlauf bzw. auf der Bahnlänge zwischen dem Schlaufenbildner und der Spenderkante und/oder im Verlauf bzw. auf der Bahnlänge nach der Spenderkante und vor dem die Leerspule aufweisenden Wickeldom kommen kann, und hieraus resultierend zu einer Lärmentwicklung und/oder zu Produktionsstörungen durch Reißen des Trägermaterials. Um insbesondere Produktionsstörungen zu vermeiden, sind bisher für das Trägermaterial Dicken im Bereich zwischen 20 und 25 μm üblich. Etikettenmaterialien mit dünneren Trägermaterialien, beispielsweise im Bereich von 15 μm, wie sie aus Gründen der Einsparung von Material- und/oder Entsorgungskosten sowie zur Erhöhung der Anzahl der Etiketten je Vorratsspule sinnvoll wären, können mit bekannten Vorrichtungen produktionssicher nicht verarbeitet werden.A disadvantage of known devices is that, in particular with thin carrier material, there is a beating or flapping, i. to an oscillating, lateral deflection of the label or carrier material in the course or on the web length between the loop former and the dispenser edge and / or in the course or on the track length after the dispenser edge and before the empty bobbin having winding mandrel can come, and as a result to a noise development and / or to production disturbances by tearing of the carrier material. In order to avoid in particular production disturbances, thicknesses in the range between 20 and 25 μm have hitherto been usual for the carrier material. Label materials with thinner support materials, for example in the range of 15 microns, as they would be useful for reasons of saving material and / or disposal costs and to increase the number of labels per supply reel, can not be processed with known devices production safe.

Unter „Gegenstand" sind im Sinne der Erfindung unterschiedlichste Gegenstände und/oder Produkte zu verstehen, die mit einem oder mehreren Etiketten versehen werden, insbesondere auch Behälter, wie z.B. Flaschen, Dosen, Gebinde usw.For the purposes of the invention, "article" means a wide variety of articles and / or products which are provided with one or more labels, in particular also containers, such as bottles, cans, containers, etc.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung aufzuzeigen, mit der die vorgenannten Nachteile vermieden werden. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Vorrichtung entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object of the invention is to provide a device with which the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided. To solve this problem, a device according to the patent claim 1 is formed. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Durch die Beaufschlagung des bahnförmigen Etikettenmaterials auf seiner Bahnlänge zwischen dem Schlaufenbildner und der Spenderkante und/oder des bahnförmigen Trägermaterials zumindest in einem auf die Spenderkante folgenden Teilabschnitt der Bahnlänge zwischen der Spenderkante und dem Wickeldorn mit einer zusätzlichen Bahnspannung wird ein Flattern des Etikettenmaterials bzw. des Trägermaterials wirksam verhindert. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand der Figur, die in Draufsicht ein Etikettieraggregat zur Verarbeitung von selbstklebenden Etiketten zeigt, näher erläutert.By acting on the web-shaped label material on its web length between the loop former and the dispenser edge and / or the web-shaped carrier material at least in a subsequent to the dispenser edge portion of the web length between the dispenser edge and the winding mandrel with an additional web tension fluttering of the label material or the carrier material effectively prevented. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the figure, which shows in plan view a labeling unit for processing self-adhesive labels.

Das in der Figur mit 1 bezeichnete Etikettieraggregat besteht u.a. aus einem flachen Gehäuse oder Träger 2, auf dessen Oberseite verschiedene Funktionselemente des Etikettieraggregates 1 vorgesehen sind, und zwar u.a.The labeled in the figure with 1 labeling consists u.a. from a flat housing or support 2, on the upper side of which various functional elements of the labeling unit 1 are provided, namely u.a.

ein Wickeldorn bzw. eine Aufnahme 3 für einen Vorrat an Etikettenmaterial 4 in Form einer Vorratsrolle 5, von der während des Etikettierens das aus dem bandförmigen Trägermaterial 4.1 und den daran haftenden selbstklebenden Etiketten 4.2 bestehende Etikettenmaterial 4 abgezogen wird,a winding mandrel or a receptacle 3 for a supply of label material 4 in the form of a supply roll 5, from which the label material 4 consisting of the strip-shaped carrier material 4.1 and the self-adhesive labels 4.2 adhering thereto is withdrawn during labeling,

eine Aufnahme bzw. ein Wickeldorn 6 zum Aufwickeln des leeren Trägermaterials 4.1 ohne Etiketten 4.2 auf eine Leerspule 7,a receptacle or a winding mandrel 6 for winding up the empty carrier material 4.1 without labels 4.2 on an empty spool 7,

ein Schlaufenbildner 8 zur Bildung einer annähernd „massenlosen" Schlaufe aus dem Etikettenmaterial 4 in einem Schlaufenschacht 8.1 ,a loop former 8 for forming an approximately "massless" loop from the label material 4 in a loop slot 8.1,

eine Spenderkante 9, über die das Etikettenmaterial 4 unter Umlenkung um nahezu 180° geführt ist, und zwar zur Abgabe der selbstklebenden Etiketten 4.2 an an dieser Spenderkante vorbeigeführte, zu etikettierende Gegenstände 10, beispielsweise Flaschen der dergleichen Behälter.a dispensing edge 9, over which the label material 4 is guided under deflection by almost 180 °, namely for dispensing the self-adhesive labels 4.2 at this donor edge guided past, to be labeled objects 10, for example, bottles of the same container.

Weiterhin sind am Träger 1 zusätzlich zu verschiedenen Umlenkrollen 11 und Führungen 12 auch nachstehend noch näher beschriebene Rollspeicher 13 und 14 sowie Vorschubeinheiten 15, 16, 17 für das Etikettenmaterial 4 bzw. des Trägermaterials 4.1 vorgesehen.Furthermore, on the carrier 1 in addition to different pulleys 11 and guides 12 also described in more detail below Rollspeicher 13 and 14 and feed units 15, 16, 17 are provided for the label material 4 and 4.1 of the substrate.

Im Einzelnen ist das Etikettenmaterial 4 bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von der Vorratsrolle 5 über drei Umlenkrollen 11 , über den Rollenspeicher 13 zur Aufrechterhaltung einer vorgegebenen Bahnspannung, über die Vorschubeinheit 15 zum Abziehen des Etikettenmaterials 4 von der Rolle 5 und zum Fördern des Etikettenmaterials 4 in den Schlaufenbildner 8, durch den Schlaufenbildner 8, über die Vor- schubeinheit 16 und mehrere Umlenkrollen 11 an die Spenderkante 9 geführt. Das leere Trägermaterial 4.1 ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von der Spenderkante 9 über die Vorschubeinheit 17 und über mehrere Umlenkrollen an die Vorschubeinheit 18 und von dort über den Rollenspeicher 14 bzw. dessen Rollen an die Aufnahme 6 bzw. die dortige Leerspule 7 zum Aufwickeln des nicht mehr benötigten Trägermaterials 4.1 geführt.In detail, the label material 4 in the illustrated embodiment of the supply roll 5 via three pulleys 11, on the roller storage 13 to maintain a predetermined web tension, on the feed unit 15 for withdrawing the label material 4 from the roll 5 and for conveying the label material 4 in the Loop former 8, through the loop former 8, over the thrust unit 16 and a plurality of guide rollers 11 guided to the dispenser edge 9. The empty carrier material 4.1 is in the illustrated embodiment of the dispenser edge 9 via the feed unit 17 and a plurality of pulleys to the feed unit 18 and from there via the roller storage 14 and its roles to the recording 6 and the local empty reel 7 for winding the not more required substrate 4.1 out.

Die Vorschubeinheiten 15 - 18 bestehen jeweils aus einer angetriebenen Walze 15.1 , 16.1 , 17.1 bzw. 18.1 und aus einer frei drehbaren Gegenwalze 15.2, 16.2, 17.2 bzw. 18.2. Das Etikettenmaterial 4 bzw. das Trägermaterial 4.1 ist jeweils zwischen den beiden Walzen der entsprechenden Vorschubeinheit 15 - 18 hindurchgeführt.The feed units 15-18 each consist of a driven roller 15.1, 16.1, 17.1 or 18.1 and a freely rotatable counter roller 15.2, 16.2, 17.2 and 18.2. The label material 4 or the carrier material 4.1 is in each case passed between the two rollers of the corresponding feed unit 15-18.

Für die Abgabe der Etiketten 4.2 an die an der Spenderkante 9 vorbeibewegten Gegenstände 10 ist ein getaktetes Abziehen des Trägermaterials 4.1 von der Spenderkante 9 erforderlich, sodass die Vorschubeinheit 17 bzw. die angetriebene Walze 17.1 dieser Einrichtung durch den zugehörigen Antrieb getaktet angetrieben wird.For the delivery of the labels 4.2 to the objects 10 moved past the dispenser edge 9, a clocked removal of the carrier material 4.1 from the dispenser edge 9 is required so that the feed unit 17 or the driven roller 17.1 of this device is driven in a clocked manner by the associated drive.

Mit der Vorschubeinheit 15 wird das Etikettenmaterial 4 kontinuierlich von dem Vorrat bzw. der Rolle 5 abgezogen. Hierfür ist die Vorschubeinheit 15 kontinuierlich angetrieben, und zwar derart, dass die während eines Arbeitstaktes der getaktet angetriebenen Vorschubeinheit 17 geförderte Länge des Trägermaterials 4.1 der durch die Fördereinrichtung 15 in der selben Zeiteinheit von der Rolle 5 abgezogenen Länge an Etikettenmaterial 4 entspricht.With the feed unit 15, the label material 4 is continuously withdrawn from the supply or the roll 5. For this purpose, the feed unit 15 is driven continuously, in such a way that during a working cycle of the clocked driven feed unit 17 funded length of the substrate 4.1 corresponds to the withdrawn by the conveyor 15 in the same time unit of the roll 5 length of label material 4.

Die Aufnahme 6 ist gesteuert über einen die Spannung des Trägermaterials 4.1 messenden Sensor 19 derart angetrieben, dass während des Betriebes des Etikettieraggregates 1 mit der Aufnahme 6 stets eine solche Länge an Trägermaterial 4.1 aufgewickelt wird, dass dieses Trägermaterial im Verlauf bzw. auf der Bahnlänge zwischen dem Rollenspeicher 14 und der Aufnahme 6 eine vorgegebene Bahnspannung aufweist, das Trägermaterial 4.1 also auf den Spulenkörper 7 aufgewickelt wird, ohne dass es auf der Bahnlänge zwischen dem Rollspeicher 14 und der Aufnahme 6 zu einem Flattern oder Schlagen des Trägermaterials 4.1 kommt. Die Vorschubeinheiten 16 und 18 sind synchron mit der Vorschubeinheit 17 angetrieben, und zwar ebenfalls getaktet in der Weise, dass die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Vorschubeinheit 16 um einen Betrag x kleiner ist als die Fördergeschwindigkeit n der Vorschubeinheit 17, d.h. die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Vorschubeinheit 16 n-x beträgt. Die Vorschubeinheit 18 ist so ausgebildet, dass deren Fördergeschwindigkeit um einen Betrag y größer ist als die Fördergeschwindigkeit n der Vorschubeinheit 17, d.h. die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Vorschubeinheit 18 n+y beträgt. Weiterhin sind beide Vorschubeinheiten 16 und 18 so ausgebildet, dass das Etikettenmaterial 4 bzw. das Trägermaterial 4.1 mit Schlupf zwischen den Walzen 16.1 und 16.2 bzw. 18.1 und 18.2 geführt ist.The receptacle 6 is controlled by a voltage of the substrate 4.1 measuring sensor 19 driven such that during operation of the labeling unit 1 with the receptacle 6 is always wound such a length of substrate 4.1, that this substrate in the course or on the web length between the roller storage 14 and the receptacle 6 has a predetermined web tension, the support material 4.1 is thus wound onto the bobbin 7, without it comes on the track length between the roll memory 14 and the receptacle 6 to flutter or beating of the substrate 4.1. The feed units 16 and 18 are driven synchronously with the feed unit 17, and also clocked in such a way that the conveying speed of the feed unit 16 by an amount x is smaller than the conveying speed n of the feed unit 17, ie the conveying speed of the feed unit 16 nx. The feed unit 18 is designed such that its conveying speed is greater by an amount y than the conveying speed n of the feed unit 17, ie the conveying speed of the feed unit 18 is n + y. Furthermore, both feed units 16 and 18 are designed such that the label material 4 or the carrier material 4.1 is guided with slippage between the rollers 16.1 and 16.2 or 18.1 and 18.2.

Durch die von der Förder- oder Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Vorschubeinheit 17 abweichenden Fördergeschwindigkeiten der Vorschubeinheiten 16 und 18 ist sichergestellt, dass das Etikettenmaterial 4 bzw. das Trägermaterial 4.1 auf der Bahnlänge zwischen der Vorschubeinheit 16 und der Spenderkante 9 bzw. auf der Bahnlänge zwischen der Spenderkante 9 und der Vorschubeinheit 18 eine vorgegebene möglichst konstante Bahnspannung aufweist und somit auch in diesen Bereichen trotz des getakteten Vorschubes durch die Vorschubeinheit 17 kein Schlagen oder Flattern des Etikettenmaterials 4 bzw. des Trägermaterials 4.1 eintritt und hieraus resultierende Lärmentwicklungen und Produktionsstörungen durch Reißen des Trägermaterials 4.1 vermieden sind.By differing from the conveying or feed speed of the feed unit 17 conveying speeds of the feed units 16 and 18 it is ensured that the label material 4 and the substrate 4.1 on the web length between the feed unit 16 and the dispenser edge 9 or on the web length between the dispenser edge. 9 and the feed unit 18 has a predetermined constant as possible web tension and thus no hitting or fluttering of the label material 4 and the substrate 4.1 occurs in these areas despite the clocked feed by the feed unit 17 and resulting noise and production disturbances are avoided by tearing of the substrate 4.1 ,

Die unterschiedlichen Vorschubgeschwindigkeiten der Vorschubeinheiten 16, 17 und 18 sind beispielsweise dadurch realisiert, dass diese Vorschubeinheiten bzw. deren Walzen 16.1 , 17.1 und 18.1 zwar von einen gemeinsamen intermittierenden oder getakteten Antrieb angetrieben werden, aber über Antriebsstränge mit unterschiedlichem Übersetzungsverhältnis, und/oder dadurch realisiert, dass die angetriebenen Walzen 16.1 , 17.1 und 18.1 den unterschiedlichen Vorschubgeschwindigkeiten entsprechend unterschiedliche Durchmesser aufweisen.The different feed speeds of the feed units 16, 17 and 18 are realized, for example, that although these feed units or their rollers 16.1, 17.1 and 18.1 are driven by a common intermittent or clocked drive, but via drive trains with different gear ratio, and / or realized in that the driven rollers 16.1, 17.1 and 18.1 have different diameters corresponding to the different feed speeds.

Die Vorschubeinheit 16 befindet sich bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform unmittelbar am Auslauf des Schlaufenbildners 8 bzw. des Schlaufenschachtes 8.1 , wobei dann eine Walze der Vorschubeinheit 16 , beispielsweise die Gegenwalze 16.2, von einer an diesem Auslauf ohnehin notwendigen Umlenkrolle oder -walze gebildet ist. Die Vorschubeinheit 18 ist unmittelbar am Einlauf des Rollenspeichers 14 (Tänzerrollenspeicher) vorgesehen. Eine Rolle oder Walze dieser Vorschubeinheit, beispielsweise die Gegenwalze 18.2, ist hierbei vorzugsweise die unmittelbar beim Einlauf dieses Rollenspeichers ohnehin vorgesehene Rolle.The feed unit 16 is located in the embodiment shown directly at the outlet of the loop former 8 and the loop shaft 8.1, in which case a roller of the feed unit 16, for example, the counter roll 16.2, is formed by a deflection roller or roller anyway necessary at this outlet. The feed unit 18 is provided directly at the inlet of the roller storage 14 (dancer roller storage). A roller or roller of this feed unit, for example, the counter-roller 18.2, here is preferably the immediately provided at the inlet of this roller storage role.

Der Schlaufenbildner 8 dient auch bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform zum Ausgleich zwischen der kontinuierlichen Vorschubbewegung des Etikettenmaterials 4 auf der Bahnlänge zwischen der Vorratsrolle 5 und der Vorschubeinheit 15 und der getakteten Vorschubbewegung des Etikettenmaterials 4 auf der Bahnlänge zwischen der Vorschubeinheit 16 und der Spenderkante 9 und ist so ausgebildet, dass in seinem Schlaufenschacht 8.1 die Schlaufe aus dem Etikettenmaterial 4 ohne Verwendung von Umlenkrollen, z.B. durch ein den Schlaufenschacht durchströmendes gasförmiges Medium, beispielsweise durch Druckluft gebildet wird.The loop former 8 is also used in the illustrated embodiment to compensate for the continuous feed movement of the label material 4 on the web length between the supply roll 5 and the feed unit 15 and the clocked feed movement of the label material 4 on the web length between the feed unit 16 and the dispenser edge 9 and is so formed in that its loop slot 8.1, the loop from the label material 4 without the use of pulleys, eg is formed by a loop passage through the flowing gaseous medium, for example by compressed air.

Durch die Verwendung der Vorschubeinheiten 15 - 18 ist es auch möglich, dass Etikettenmaterial 4 rückwärts zu fördern, d.h. entgegen der beim Verarbeiten der Etiketten 4.2 erforderlichen Vorschubrichtung zu bewegen. Hierdurch ist es in besonders einfacher Weise möglich, nach dem Verbrauch einer Vorratsrolle 5 das Ende des Etikettenmaterials 4 mit dem Anfang des Etikettenmaterials 4 einer neuen, auf die Aufnahme 3 bzw. den dortigen Wickeldorn aufgesetzte Rolle zu verbinden.By using the feed units 15-18 it is also possible to feed label material 4 backwards, i. to move against the feed direction required when processing the labels 4.2. This makes it possible in a particularly simple manner, after the consumption of a supply roll 5, the end of the label material 4 to connect to the beginning of the label material 4 a new, patch on the receptacle 3 and the local winding mandrel role.

Die Erfindung wurde voranstehend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben. Es versteht sich, dass Änderungen sowie Abwandlungen möglich sind, ohne das dadurch der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Erfindungsgedanke verlassen wird.The invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive idea underlying the invention.

Vorstehend wurde davon ausgegangen, dass das Etikettenmaterial 4 sowie auch das Trägermaterial 4.1 jeweils unter Schlupf durch die Vorschubeinheiten 16 bzw. 18 hindurchgeführt sind. Grundsätzlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, für diese Vorschubeinheiten geregelte Antriebe vorzusehen, sodass dann diese Vorschubeinheiten bzw. deren Antriebe unter Verwendung von die Bahnspannung messenden oder ermittelnden Sensoren so angetrieben werden, dass die jeweils erforderliche, u.a. das Flattern verhindernde Bahnspannung erreicht ist. Weiterhin ist es auch möglich bei einer oder aber mehreren Vorschubeinheiten 15 - 18 jeweils beide Rollen oder Walzen 15. - 18.1 bzw. 15.2 - 18.2 gegenläufig anzutreiben.Above, it was assumed that the label material 4 as well as the carrier material 4.1 are each passed under slip through the feed units 16 and 18 respectively. In principle, it is also possible to provide for these feed units controlled drives, so then these feed units or their drives using the web tension measuring or detecting sensors are driven so that the respectively required, inter alia, the flutter preventing web tension is reached. Furthermore, it is also possible for one or more feed units 15-18 to drive both rollers or rollers 15-18.1 or 15.2-18.2 in opposite directions.

Bei den, die Bahnspannung messenden oder ermittelnden Sensoren kann es sich z.B. um eine bewegliche, an dem Etikettenmaterial 4 anliegenden Rolle handeln, welche in Abhängigkeit von der vorhandenen Bahnspannung um eine bestimmte Wegstrecke aus ihrer Normallage ausgelenkt wird. The sensors which measure or detect the web tension may, for example, be a movable roller bearing on the label material 4, which is deflected from its normal position as a function of the existing web tension by a certain distance.
