Abstract

A system for decurling a web from a roll of material comprises rollers, a decurling station actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The rollers are configured to pull the web along a path with an angle. The decurling station actuator is configured to shift one of the rollers relative to the other rollers to adjust the angle of the path. The sensor is configured to sense a characteristic of the roll of material and generate sensor data. The controller is configured to receive a signal representative of the sensor data and direct the decurling station actuator to shift one of the rollers based at least in part on the sensor data.
