In an example of the disclosure, a first optical sensor positioned adjacent to a web path and having a first sensor beam is utilized to identify a first signal value as the first optical sensor detects an eye-mark as the web is moved along the web path. A second optical sensor positioned adjacent to the web path, downstream of the first optical sensor, and having a second sensor beam, is utilized to identify a second signal value as the second optical sensor detects the eye-mark. A lateral misalignment of the web is determined based upon the first signal value, the second signal value, and a lateral offset of the first sensor beam from the second sensor beam.

Device for winding a material web, particularly a metal strip, wherein a coil (1) is supported during the winding process by at least two support rollers (2, 3), wherein the support rollers (2, 3) can be jointly pivoted about a pivot axis (18) between a first, substantially horizontal, position and a second position, which is inclined relative to the horizontal position, by means of a pivoting device (11).

Refers to the present invention, a device (1) that will be fabricated with appropriate material, with several dimensions, to be adapted to a computerized numeric platform, for the structural glazing process, which is a technique of fixing the glass and the frame, through application of the high adhesion double-sided tape between them, the structure remains hidden on the inner side, in two basic steps, one being application and cutting of the high adhesion double-sided tape over the glass sheet, and the other is (applying) correct pressure on them, for the purpose of replacing the current manual process.

An adjusting method for a printing apparatus includes a head configured onto perform printing on a medium, a winding shaft configured to wind thereon the transported medium, a shaft adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the winding shaft, and a notification part configured to provide a notification, the method including a printing step for printing a scale onto the medium, a transporting step for transporting the scale to the winding shaft, an image-capturing step for image-capturing the scale, which is transported to the winding shaft, at two different locations of the medium in a direction along an axis of the winding shaft, a notification step for providing to the notification part a notification about a result based on a captured image of the scale, and an adjustment step for adjusting a position of the winding shaft in accordance with a result notified to the notification part.

An apparatus (20) for steering a web (22), including a web path having at least one steering roller (24) and an exit roller (26), each having a mount; wherein the steering roller(s) (26) each have an axis of rotation and wherein the mounts for the steering roller(s) (26) can pivot those axes with a total of two degrees of freedom. An array (30) comprising a plurality of sensors (30a) for monitoring the position of the web (22) is present connected to a controller so as to determine the position and angular orientation of the web (22). The controller adjusts the pivot(s) of the mount(s) so as to control the angular orientation and the lateral position of the web (22) at a particular point along the web path.

The present application relates to rolled good feeding device and method. Material feeding devices and methods are provided for conveying material from material rolls. The material roll may be adjusted in the longitudinal direction during the feeding process by a rectifying frame to aid in maintaining alignment during the unrolling. Tension of the unrolled material may be monitored and unrolling speeds of the feeding device can be adjusted to maintain tension of the material within a range for that material. Aspects also contemplate elements to feed multiple rolled materials simultaneously for subsequent processing in combination as layered materials.

An apparatus (un-interleaver) for unwinding a roll of material interleaved with another material, and for separating the materials, includes a first platform, a second platform, a tension-sensor, an edge-sensor, and a controller. The controller monitors signals generated by the tension-sensor and the edge-sensor, and in response to the signals: a) causes the speed at which the second platform rotates to change to maintain a predetermined tension in the second material as the second material travels from the first platform toward the second platform, and b) causes the second platform to move relative to the first platform to align the edge of the second material traveling toward the roll of second material with the edge of the second material in the roll.

Provided is a coating film transfer tool in which a coating film can be transferred onto a transfer-target surface in a straight manner without the coating film meandering, even if the coating film transfer tool meanders when the coating film is being transferred. The coating film transfer tool includes a feeding portion; a transfer press portion; and a winding portion. The transfer press portion is provided with a transfer head that transfers the coating film, the transfer head can move in a width direction of the transfer tape independent of the feeding portion and the winding portion. The transfer head is provided with a pair of guide walls that use their inner surfaces to restrict movement of the transfer tape. The pair of guide walls and a tip portion of the transfer head can press against the transfer-target surface at the same time.
