CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TAPERED STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION

A control system for forming a tapered structure includes a sensor ( 1820) providing feedback for a machine (1802) for forming a tapered structure including at least three rolls having at least one bend roll and at least two guide rolls. The guide rolls may include rollette banks (300, 400, 522, 231...

Zusammenfassung:	A control system for forming a tapered structure includes a sensor ( 1820) providing feedback for a machine (1802) for forming a tapered structure including at least three rolls having at least one bend roll and at least two guide rolls. The guide rolls may include rollette banks (300, 400, 522, 2314) having a plurality of rollettes (302, 402, 524, 2316). The machine may also include an adjustment mechanism to position at least one of the rolls, where a diameter of the tapered structure being formed is controlled by relative positions of the rolls. The machine may also include a joining element ( 108, 1814) to join edges of a stock of material together as it is rolled through the rolls to form the tapered structure. The control system may also include a controller ( 1808) to receive feedback from the sensor and to send a control signal based on the feedback to the adjustment mechanism for positioning at least one of the rolls.
