Abstract: A process and device for the stable width wise regulation of the bulb angle in connection with the extrusion of sheets of heat-sensitive plastic (2) in an extrusion device with a calendar opening formed by two intake rollers (3,2) and a traversing measuring device (7) provided according to the calendar slot by altering positioning elements on the extrusion device. At least two traversing measurements of a parameter correlating with the bulb angle are started consecutively on the heat-sensitive plastic sheet synchronously with the positioning of one of the two calendar rollers. Like measurement conditions therefore exist and the deviation of the measured values obtained on the basis of the measurements in relation to specified expected values is used to regulate the bulb angle over its width by altering a setting element on the extrusion device.

Abstract: In the extrusion of thermoplastic deformable plastics, especially the manufacture of plastic plates, an automatic regulation apparatus on the roller discharge ensures that the extruded plastic plate is directed horizontally along the device center after leaving the roller calender. The apparatus contains a sensor unit which transmits a position signal for the horizontal position of the plastic plate to a controller which, when a deviation of the plastic plate center from the device center occurs, activates two pneumatic plug cylinders such that the plug force of the haul-off rolls changes the roller diameter and thereby guide the conveyed direction of the plastic plate.
