Conveyor tracking

$

Hello Guys,

I have a Mitsubishi A8000 series vfd with an encoder card and also encoder. With analog (0-10V) signal i can read back the current speed.

The conveyor convey paper sheets. Occasionally they change the width of the paper but the the two type of paper is connected. We have a camera on the begging of the conveyor, and we would like to lets say cut it 2 meter later. But the position should be very precise otherwise we are not cut it in the good position. The cutting procedure would happen also an asynchronous motor or with servo motor. 

Is it possible to write a tracking program and cut paper sheet in a good position ?

My plane is to stop the CV in the position and waiting for the cut and go on. 

The plc is Allen Bradley, control logix 5580.

Any tip would be appreciated.

Thank you so much.
