Abstract:
A system for controlling the width and stitch density of a moving fabric web compacted by a fabric compaction system. The width control subsystem comprises a first camera which captures an image of a moving fabric web, and a first controller, wherein the first controller receives the captured image, calculates the width of the fabric web, and compares the calculated width to a first width set point.
