Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are described for controlling web tensioning in a food packaging machine comprising a plurality of sub-systems. One or more local variable value are received, which indicate measurements by the food packaging machine of one or more physical parameters for a web tensioning sub-system. One or more remote variable values are received, which indicate measurements by the food packaging machine of one or more physical parameters for one or remote sub-systems. One or more control parameter values are determined for the web tensioning sub-system, by processing the remote and the local variable values using a reinforcement learning model and a local control model. One or more control parameters of the web tensioning sub-system are adjusted in accordance with the determined control parameter values.

The present invention relates to a rewinding machine equipped with a support system for the reel and the ribbon-like product.

In particular, the invention relates to a rewinding machine (1) for a ribbon-like product (N), comprising: a fixed support structure which supports an unwinding unit (SV) and a rewinding unit (RB); an independent first carrier roller (2), movable along a direction parallel to a support surface of the rewinding machine (1); a second independent carrier roller (4), movable in the opposite direction with respect to the first carrier roller (2); a third roller (3), placed between the first (2) and second (4) carrier rollers and movable integrally with the first carrier roller (2); a set of driving rollers (110) placed along a path between the unwinding unit (SV) and the rewinding unit (RB); a web (10), forming at least one loop, made of a material with an air-permeable texture, said web (10) unwinding between the second carrier roller (4), the third roller (3), and the set of driving rollers (110); one or more suction boxes (6) placed under the web (10) to retain the ribbon-like product (N).

The present specification relates to an embodiment of an electrode material winding apparatus, in which an electrode material is processed so that an electrode tab is not disposed in an impregnation region into which an electrolyte can be injected, and the electrode material is wound so that the electrode tab is arranged only in a specific region excluding the impregnation region, thereby winding the electrode material such that the electrolyte is injected through the impregnation region.
