A winder includes a winding mechanism, a chamber, a vacuum pump, a conveying route and a product case. The winding mechanism winds a belt-shaped raw film around a winding core, the belt-shaped raw film being composed of a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of separating films. The chamber houses the winding mechanism. The vacuum pump sucks air into the chamber. The conveying route has a sealed outer space outside the chamber, an inner space of the chamber leading to the outer space in the conveyance route. The product case is disposed in the conveying route to house a plurality of winding products each formed by winding the raw film with use of the winding mechanism.

The invention relates to an ink-jet printer including: a support structure including two side walls; a transfer apparatus slidable for advancing the substrate in a direction x, the transfer apparatus comprising a conveyor belt and a stationary support plane; a print device including a print head operating along a direction y, perpendicular to the direction x; retaining means for maintaining the substrate adhering to the conveyor belt; and adjusting means of the transfer apparatus. The support plane includes two side ends which rest on the side walls. The adjusting means of the transfer apparatus include at least one side adjusting assembly positioned between a side wall and the respective side end of the support plane.

The invention relates to a method and a vacuum-coating system (10) for coating a band-type material (11), in particular made of metal. For this, the band-type material (11) is moved, via a conveying section (12), in a transport direction (T) and is vacuum-coated within a coating chamber (14), in which a vacuum is applied. As seen in the transport direction (T) of the band-type material (11), at least one flatness optimization device (39) is arranged upstream of the coating chamber (14), through which flatness optimization device the band-type material (11) can be guided. In this way, a desired flatness is generated for the band-type material (11).

The present invention relates to a secondary battery electrode production system. The secondary electrode production system according to the present invention comprises: an unwinding portion (100) having multiple electrode material supply reels so as to continuously supply an electrode material; a notching portion (200) disclosed on a path of movement of the electrode material supplied from the unwinding portion (100); a cutting portion (400) disposed on the path of movement of the electrode material supplied from the notching portion (200) so as to generate the electrode; a vision inspection portion (600) for confirming whether the electrode is acceptable or not; and an electrode discharge portion (800) comprising a magazine for aligning and storing the electrode while interworking with the vision inspection portion.

A document feeder includes a document placement member that has a placement surface, a sucker that has a suction surface on which a part of a document placed on the placement surface is sucked and sucks air from a space formed between the document placement member and the suction surface, a blower that blows air into the space, and a paper feeder that conveys the document in a conveyance direction along the placement surface, wherein the suction surface is inclined relative to the placement surface such that the space is narrower toward the upstream side in the conveyance direction.

A method and apparatus for preparing edges of reels of web material, where a reel is held with its axis horizontal; a manipulator applies a first adhesive element on an outer surface of the reel; a gripping member picks up the first adhesive element and forms a loop; and a cutting device transversely cuts the web material at the loop. A section of web material with a length equal to or greater than a circumference of the reel is unwound from the reel; a second adhesive element is applied on an outer surface or on an inner surface of the web material; and a scrap portion of the web material is cut and discarded by a suction device.

A recording-material-transporting device includes a suction unit that suctions a recording material included in a recording-material stack from above, the suction unit including a movable member that moves upward when pushed from below by the recording material moving upward with the suction, the suction unit being movable in an intersecting direction intersecting a vertical direction and moving the suctioned recording material in the intersecting direction, at least a part of the movable member serving as an outside advancing part that advances to an outside of a perimeter of the recording-material stack with the movement of the suction unit in the intersecting direction; and a restricting part that restricts a downward movement of the outside advancing part when the outside advancing part is free of support by the recording material from below.

A cutting machine that includes a knife and an unrolling device. The knife severs foodstuff slices from a foodstuff bar. A leaf from a separating material is provided between at least two foodstuff slices. The unrolling device providing the separating material for disposal of the leaf between the two foodstuff slices and injects the leaf into the cutting region. The unrolling device has a tape roll and a delay unit. disposed downstream of the tape roll. The delay unit is configured for delaying the movement of the separating material, which is unrolled from the unrolling device and is provided in a cutting region of a cutting machine.

A belt conveyance device includes an endless belt, a duct having a suction port, and a rectifier inside the duct. The duct is surrounded by an inner circumferential surface of the endless belt. The rectifier extends in a width direction of the endless belt perpendicular to a direction of conveyance by the endless belt.

Paper converting plant including a rewinder adapted to produce paper logs and having an inlet for feeding a paper web, a winding station where the logs are formed and an exit station for unloading the finished logs. The rewinder has walls delimiting a chamber inside which the logs are formed, and an air suction channel at a lower part of chamber. The suction channel exerts a suction causing the formation of an air flow directed from the top to the bottom inside the chamber. The chamber includes two semi-chambers communicating with the air suction channel such that a vertical air flow directed downwards is generated in each of them, the chamber being provided with a manner for regulating the vertical air flows providing vertically oriented identical air flow rates in the semi- chambers.
