According to the characteristics of the reel machine, stable and unbiased paper close to the reel machine is needed to complete the work of paper reeling. In this paper, the photoelectrichydraulic servo control system was used to control the characteristics of paper deviation in the process of paper reeling. The schematic diagram of the system was drawn, the main components were selected, and the mathematical model of the system was established. The system was simulated and analyzed by MATLAB simulation software. It is proven that the control system has good stability and fast response, and the original intention of the design was realized.
