The system comprises includes a fence inside which machines are arranged that are potentially dangerous for the operators, forming part of a processing plant for processing web material and producing rolls. A passage counting the number of operators entering the fence and exiting therefrom is so controlled as to be accessible only when the machines are not working and to allow a partial operation of the machines inside the fence under particular safety conditions.

A winding and unwinding system for electrode plate includes a winding and unwinding box, a cooling unit, and a control unit. The winding and unwinding box includes a box body and a box door jointly defining a box space, an electrode plate discharge port provided on a side of the box body, a rotating shaft provided in the middle of the box space, an electrode plate cylinder connected to and driven by the rotating shaft, a first temperature sensor monitoring temperature of the electrode plate, a first gas detector monitoring oxygen concentration inside the winding and unwinding box, gas inlet and outlets located at bottom and top of the box body, respectively. The cooling unit communicates with the gas inlet. The control unit controls the cooling unit to regulate the temperature of the electrode plate and the oxygen concentration inside the winding and unwinding box.

This invention provides web-cutting mechanism that can be mounted in line at an appropriate location between the web-handling peripheral (printer) and a web roll. The cutting mechanism operates before the available storage in the winder festoon has been exhausted, and decouples the roll's energy from the web. The cutting mechanism can employ a blade that is drawn through the web solely by the movement of the web itself. The blade is mounted at a (e.g.) 45-degree angle to web travel, causing it to be pulled through the web. A negator spring assembly and associated cable drives the blade into the side edge of the web when a slide-mounted blade shuttle assembly is released by a latching pawl of a solenoid assembly. The solenoid is triggered by a signal indicating an emergency stop condition, such as an upstream jam.
