The work aims to solve the problem that the film tension is difficult to control in the process of producing the buffering cushion of new suspension package. The mathematical model for the tension system during the non-continuous film coating was established. A simulation strategy with LabVIEW as simulation software and fuzzy adaptive PID as control algorithm was proposed. The change of film tension and the control effect of the algorithm under different rolling diameters, accelerations and acceleration/deceleration modes were analyzed. The simulation results showed that, the smaller the film rolling diameter, the greater the tension fluctuation; the greater the running acceleration, the greater the film tension fluctuation. In different working conditions, compared with the conventional PID, the fuzzy adaptive PID had faster response speed and smaller overshoot. The fuzzy adaptive PID parameter adjustment is simple and adaptive, which can meet the control requirements of film tension stability in the non-continuous film coating process.
