ClimberTracking

Climber tracking

The ribbon is a thin, loosely held assembly of axial fibers. Grabbing the ribbon and ascending it without running off one side is a challenge. On more rigid structures it has already been demonstrated but not on thin ribbons. A good analog may be printing presses that run wide, thin sheets at high speeds.

Specific Work

1. Definition paper based on current knowledge of running continuous sheets through roller systems
2. Detailed design focusing on passive tracking – canted rollers, shaped cylinders,... with active tracking as an alternative
