A bill processing apparatus which is capable of reliably supplying information on a bill to the bill housing body side. The paper sheet processing apparatus has a bill housing part being capable of housing a bill inserted from a bill insertion slot, and also a reader/writer which wirelessly transmits information on the bill inserted from the bill insertion slot. The bill housing part has a coil antenna which wirelessly receives the information transmitted from the reader/writer, and a storage part which stores the information on the bill received from the coil antenna.

A system for determining an amount of stretch film unwound from a stretch film dispensing apparatus. The stretch film dispensing apparatus includes a roller, from which the stretch film can be unwound, at least one supply roll sensor positioned relative to the roller to sense a distance from the at least one supply roll sensor to an outside face of a supply roll on a core on the roller, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine the amount of stretch film unwound based on the one or more signals provided by the at least one supply roll sensor.

An automatic lifting and feeding device includes a main controller, a material thickness detecting device, a material loading mechanism for placing materials and driving the materials to rise and fall, a material taking mechanism for transferring materials and a height detecting mechanism for detecting the height of the materials, wherein, the material thickness detecting device, the material loading mechanism, the material taking mechanism and the height detecting mechanism are respectively connected to the main controller. The height detecting mechanism includes a bracket and the height testing part connected to the bracket, and the detector for detecting the material distance is arranged on the height testing part. The invention also provides an automatic lifting feeding method. The advantage of the invention is that the height does not need to be adjusted manually. The device can automatically detect the height of the material, and achieves high efficiency.

According to an embodiment, a paper-length detection device includes: a moving mechanism and an angle sensor. The moving mechanism supports a magnet. The moving mechanism causes a first regulatory member to move closer to or further from a second regulatory member in accordance with movement of the first regulatory member. The moving mechanism further causes the magnet to rotate in accordance with the movement of the first regulatory member closer to or further from the second regulatory member. The angle sensor faces the magnet and outputs a signal corresponding to an absolute angle with the magnet.

In one aspect, the present disclosure includes a sheet material dispenser including a dispensing mechanism including a drive roller that is configured to engage the sheet material, and a drive motor in communication with the drive roller to drive rotation thereof for dispensing of the sheet material from a discharge. The sheet material dispenser also includes a pressing roller arranged along the drive roller and configured to engage the sheet material between the pressing roller and the drive roller, and a drive belt assembly including a drive belt operatively connected to the drive motor and the pressing roller for transferring power from the drive motor to the pressing roller. Other aspects also are described.

This invention relates to a method of controlling the operation of a winder in which method while forming at least one fiber web roll the fiber web is brought on the web roll via a nip formed by a first support drum and the web roll, which first support drum is driven by a first drive assembly (20) applying controllable torque to the drum and the winding force is applied to the web roll by a second drive assembly (22). In the method the second drive assembly (22) is controlled based on the indicative speed difference of the second drive assembly (22) and setting a friction coefficient for determination of maximum winding force.

A sheet storage device includes a body, a tray, a rotating member, an angle sensor, and a controller. The tray is vertically repositionable relative to the body and supports a sheet placed on the tray. The rotating member rotates in conjunction with a vertical movement of the tray. The angle sensor detects a rotation angle of the rotating member. The controller is operatively coupled to the angle sensor and determines a remaining number of sheets placed on the tray based on a detection result of the angle sensor.
