There is provided a component mounter including: a storage which stores information related to a tape feeder and information related to a carrier tape pitch-fed by the tape feeder; a detector which detects a state where the carrier tape becomes close to a component shortage; a determiner which determines whether to perform predetermined processing with respect to a termination portion of the carrier tape based on information related to the tape feeder and information related to the carrier tape which are stored in the storage, in a case where a state where the carrier tape is close to a component shortage is detected by the detector; and a notifier which notifies an operator of contents of the predetermined processing, in a case where the determiner determines that the predetermined processing is supposed to be performed with respect to the termination portion of the carrier tape.

The present invention relates to a machine for producing multi-layer cardboard or paper, or a machine for either printing or converting, starting from a reel of paper, cardboard or other material. In general, the invention can be applied to machines wherein a reel of different materials is unwound and which requires a contrast system to regulate the tensioning of the ribbon. In particular, the invention relates to a system for braking said reel. In particular, the invention relates to a braking system (2) for a support member (1) of a reel (B), for example, a reel of paper in a machine for producing cardboard or corrugated cardboard, wherein said braking system (2) comprises a motor-generator device (8) and a mechanical brake device (9) arranged coaxially.

A winding condition generating apparatus includes: an input unit; an output unit; and a condition calculation unit. A winding condition calculation unit includes a learning model created by machine learning using a combination of a winding parameter and a winding condition in producing a wound web that satisfies a target winding quality as training data, and calculates a winding condition of a new wound web using the learning model, from a winding parameter of a new wound web input through the input unit. The output unit outputs the winding condition. The winding parameter includes a web width, a web transport velocity, and a web winding length. The winding condition includes a tension of the web at the start of winding and a tension of the web at the end of winding.

It is disclosed a substrate compactness detection method for a printer wherein the printer comprises a roller to receive a substrate roll and a media advance mechanism to receive a substrate from the substrate roll, the method comprising: determining a substrate thickness; advancing the substrate for a length; measuring an angular displacement of the roller caused by the advancing of the substrate; determining the substrate roll radius by using the length and the angular displacement; and calculating a compactness parameter in view of the substrate roll radius and the substrate thickness.

A printing apparatus (printer) is provided in which a base material is conveyed by a roll-to-roll method and feedback control is performed on a tension imposed on the base material, and which includes a control unit, a first drive motor (front drive motor) configured to control a speed of conveyance of conveying the base material, and a second drive motor (feeding motor, rear drive motor, winding motor) configured to control the tension imposed on the base material. In a case where a conveyance operation for conveying the base material is stopped based on detection of a foreign object, and when a speed of the first drive motor is at a predetermined value or less, the control unit stops the tension control performed by the second drive motor.
