An apparatus for winding a continuous flexible elongated element, preferably made of plastic material, around a spool including a drive means configured for rotating a spool around a winding axis. The spool is provided with a winding core extending along the winding axis. Delivery means are configured for delivering an elongated retaining element, preferably a retaining film, at the spool. Winding means are configured for at least partially winding the elongated retaining element around the winding core so as to retain a free end of the continuous flexible elongated element on the winding core.

The device for handling adjacent sheet elements comprises a clamp (2) for gripping a sheet element (10) and a capture head (1) which is provided with clamping means (4), which separates, grips and lifts an edge of a sheet element (10). The capture head/s (1) is/are rotatable about a longitudinal axis (3).

It allows the handling of sheet elements consisting of one or more layers of sheet material, allowing the clamp to slide along the surface supporting the elements to access the underside of the sheet element, thus capturing the elements on the same surface that has been used to cut them.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coil-wrapping system (30) that simultaneously employs separate multiple film rolls (FR1, FR2) to simultaneously wrap separate films around a single coil while the coil is rotated about its longitudinal axis.

A printing plate picking mechanism includes a plate cassette stacking mechanism having an array of plate cassettes, each plate cassette adapted to hold a plurality of printing plates separated by intervening sheets of paper. A plate cassette movement mechanism is adapted to move a selected plate cassette to a printing plate loading position. A plate picker is adapted to contact and hold the leading edge of the topmost printing plate and transport it to plate transport pinch rollers. A paper picking unit includes a paper picker adapted to contact and hold a leading edge of a topmost sheet of paper in the selected plate cassette, and a plate guide positioned above the paper picker to guide the printing plate held by said plate picker. A vertical alignment system is adapted to vertically align the plate picker and the paper picking unit with the selected plate cassette.

Provided is a laser processing device that enables a film to be stabilized and processed. The present invention comprises: a conveyance mechanism that conveys a film; a holding mechanism that has a pair of holding parts which can at least sandwich and hold lateral portions of the processing range of the film; and a laser mechanism for processing the processing range of the film held by the holding mechanism.

A post-processing apparatus includes a movable portion and an opposing portion that are arranged to be opposite to each other with a conveyance path through which a sheet is conveyed interposed between the movable portion and the opposing portion, and a restricting member that has a holding surface including an abutment surface against which a sheet abuts, is capable of changing a posture between a first posture in which the holding surface closes the conveyance path and a second posture in which a clearance is formed in at least part of the conveyance path and is attached to a side where the opposing portion is located with respect to the conveyance path, wherein the movable portion processes a sheet positioned at the abutment surface by the restricting member having the first posture by moving toward the opposing portion.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coil-wrapping system (30) that simultaneously employs separate multiple film rolls (FR1, FR2) to simultaneously wrap separate films around a single coil while the coil is rotated about its longitudinal axis.

A device for fixing a tail end of a filament to a filament spool is provided. The device includes a filament threading module having a filament feeding module and a filament guide mechanism. The filament feeding module is configured to clamp the filament and pass the tail end of the filament through a first threading hole on the filament spool. And the filament guide mechanism including a filament guide assembly is used to guide the tail end to pass through a second threading hole on the filament spool after the tail end of the filament has passed through the first threading hole. The filament guide assembly including a filament guide and a filament driver. The filament driver is configured to move the filament guide assembly towards or away from the filament spool.
