Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (10) for forming bonds on a web incudes an anvil (14), a bonding device (12) positioned adjacent the anvil (14) and configured to interact with the anvil (14) to form the bonds on the web, and an actuator (32) that enables adjustment of an orientation between the bonding device (12) and the anvil (14). The apparatus (10) also includes a closed-loop control system (16) configured to control operation of the actuator (32), the closed-loop control system (16) configured to monitor an operational parameter of the assembly (10) indicative of interaction of the bonding device (12) with the anvil (14), determine whether the bonding device (12) is parallel or substantially parallel with the anvil (14) based on the operational parameter and, when the bonding device (12) is not parallel or substantially parallel with the anvil (14), cause the actuator (32) to adjust the orientation between the bonding device (12) and the anvil (14).
