An optical fiber cable assembly comprising an optical fiber slidably enclosed within a hollow tubing, both the fiber and the tubing having corresponding first and second ends. The cable is terminated with the first and second ends of the tubing and the fiber constrained with respect to each other such that fiber and the tubing are approximately the same length when the cable is at a first temperature. The tubing is made of a material which contracts more than the optical fiber when the cable is exposed to temperatures below the first temperature, such that the fiber is longer than the tubing and excess fiber length is formed. An intermediate portion of the tubing permits the excess fiber length to accumulate without bending in a radius smaller than a minimum bend radius

The invention relates to a release liner removal apparatus, comprising at least one release liner removal device for removing at least one release liner from at least one adhesive piece arranged on a material web, at least one support body which supports the at least one release liner removal device, and at least one guide body which is arranged adjacent to the at least one release liner removal device at least during the removal of the at least one release liner and which serves for guiding the material web.

A cargo strap rolling assembly for wrapping a cargo strap into a roll for storage includes a grip that includes a handle, a guide and a shaft. A first disk is slidable onto the shaft and a peg is coupled to the first disk. An end of the cargo strap can be wrapped around the peg when the cargo strap is passed through the guide. A second disk engages the peg such that the first disk is rotatably coupled to the second disk. A barrel is slidable onto the shaft and the barrel releasably engages the second disk such that the barrel is rotatably coupled to the second disk. A crank is removably attachable to the barrel for rotating the barrel around the shaft. In this way the cargo strap is wrapped around the barrel to form a roll for storage.

The invention relates to a plant having at least one material roll preparation arrangement for bringing a material roll carrying a material web to be drawn in into a defined initial situation, and having at least one material web working/processing arrangement, in particular material web dispensing arrangement, in particular material web unrolling arrangement, in particular material web splicing arrangement, which material web working/processing arrangement is capable, owing to the defined initial situation of the material roll, of receiving the material roll in automated fashion and preferably receiving the material web in automated fashion and/or preparing the material web in automated fashion.

A high-speed digital printing system includes two unwinding machines for two input coils for a paper web, an input unwinding and splicing installation and a printing station and in which the input installation supplies, in turn, the printing station with the web of the two coils. The system also includes a splicing and rewinding installation with an output cutting and splicing equipment for an incoming web emerging from the printing station and two rewinding machines with two output coils. The output equipment feeds alternatively the rewinding machines with the incoming web by cutting and splicing of a web of the two output coils without stopping printing. An electronic controller switches the functionality of the output cutting and splicing equipment and of the rewinding machines with setting of the output coils as an operating coil and a waiting coil and, viceversa, as a waiting coil and an operating coil.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a non-stop constant-speed efficient winding machine for separator, and relates to the technical field of lithium ion cell manufacturing. The non-stop constant-speed efficient winding machine for separator includes a base plate, an electrode feeding mechanism, a winding mechanism, a separator cutting mechanism, and a separator compounding mechanism. The winding mechanism includes a winding head and three winding needles rotatably provided on the winding head. By additionally providing the separator compounding mechanism between the electrode feeding mechanism and the winding mechanism, thermal compounding of the separator is realized, and through rolling separator cutting of the separator cutting mechanism, the separator cutting is realized. The winding needle located at the winding position can adsorb a separator end after the cutting, and wind the separator end on an outer circumferential surface of the corresponding winding needle.

A sealing tape to be used with a sealing device includes an adhesive surface to which an adhesive is applied and RFID tags are attached; and a non-adhesive surface being a back side of the adhesive surface. The sealing device includes a tape supply reel for supplying a sealing tape to which an RFID tag has been coupled; and a sealing part for sealing, with the sealing tape, an opening of a plastic packaging material holding a product, wherein the sealing part adheres the RFID tag, which is coupled to one end of the sealing tape having the length for one use, to an adhesive positioned on the other end portion of the sealing tape having the length for one use, wherein the RFID tag is broken by the adhesive strength with respect to the other end portion when the sealing tape sealing the plastic packaging material is torn.
