Belt guidance system
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for a book/an article on how to guide a flat belt, I saw many drawings on how to keep centered but nothing on how to calculate rolls' shape.
Thanks Matteo

This is a subject I've studied over the years and therefore have an interest but it is way to broad to discuss here. There are plenty of other references on the internet. The key is using the right search words. The link above will give you a start.

Accumulator loops don't work the same way.
Such loops were heavily studied when they were part of high performance random access magnetic tape drives... but I think they were mostly edge guided passively, i.e. the tape loop was captured in an air column, and not actively steered.
There do exist, commercially, 'web guides' that actively or passively steer/align webs of paper or plastic in production of sheet/coil goods. Good luck distinguishing them from guides to the WWW, but advanced search should eventually get you some hits.
The web guides I have seen comprise a dancer roll with a passive linkage that steers the roll, and hence the web.
You would probably need one with active elements, and strong ones at that, but the technology does exist.

-the strip is not well cut, one side can be ticker than the other or can be longer than the other, unfortunately I cannot make anything on this...
-I'm going to unmount most of the rolls to round them with a grinding machine, then I will boost tension level (at the moment it's very low, apprx 2 N/mm^2) hoping that it can help to keep the strip on center (it flow 7 m/min max, it's very slow!)
-if the previous solution is not enough, I will move some part of the following plant to introduce an active guide.
I'm going to search on "web guides theory" hoping to find something.
