“…The materials have characteristics such as thin, continuous, elastic, and easy to be damaged during transportation and handling, so WTS requires not only high technology in terms of mechanics but also high requirements on control engineering. In fact, the controllers used for WTS are mainly proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) [6]- [8], feedforward control [9], and PID with feedforward control [10]. However, this is a linear control method, while WTS is a strongly nonlinear system, affected by external noise, so it does not always give the desired quality, but the often slow response, low stability, low accuracy, and challenge to meet the increasingly high requirements of today's modern production lines.…”
