Method for controlling the feed of semifinished products in a tyre building process, said method comprising: feeding a semifinished product (10) into a building station (30) adapted to build, through said semi-finished product (10), a structural component of a tyre; performing, in an acquisition zone (AZ), a verification to verify the presence of at least one defect of said semifinished product (10); generating a notification signal (NS) as a function of said verification; activating, as a function of said notification signal (NS), a discard device (60), configured for discarding at least one portion of said semifinished product (10) comprising said at least one defect.

A yarn storage container for storing a yarn, said storage container comprising a, preferably tubular, container, having an axial length, a, preferably tubular, wall and a first and second axial extremity, the first axial extremity of said container having an opening for receiving an end of a yarn, said second axial extremity of said container being air-permeably closed, said wall is air permeable by means of a plurality of openings present along the axial length of said container. The invention further relates to a yarn storage system comprising a plurality of containers, to a textile production assembly and to methods of producing yarn and textiles.

The disclosed subject matter provides a mandrel feeding device and a battery winder. The mandrel feeding device has a dispensing station, an adjusting station, an adhesive application station, a transferring unit, a dispensing unit, a feeding unit configured for gripping a mandrel on the transferring unit and transferring gripped mandrel to a winding mechanism.

A container for a machine for dispensing individual blister cards from a coiled strip of blister cards, each of the blister cards housing a medicament or medical item, includes: a housing including a receptacle with an internal compartment and a lid, the receptacle configured to receive the coiled strip of blister cards in the internal compartment; a drive mechanism mounted to the housing; an outlet in the housing; and a controller operatively connected with the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is configured to receive signals from the controller to selectively drive a single blister card from a strip of blister cards residing within the compartment through the outlet.

An electrode sheet transporting apparatus includes a first transporting conveyor having a supply area receiving an electrode sheet, the first transporting conveyor being configured to transport the electrode sheet in a first direction, a supply member configured to supply the electrode sheet to the supply area, a lighting member configured to radiate light to the supply area, and a sensing member facing the lighting member, the sensing member being configured to detect light reflected from the electrode sheet on the supply area.

This application relates to a winding and unwinding apparatus and a preparation system of electrode plate. The apparatus includes supports, a rotating shaft, a rotating turret, and a power assembly. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the support. The rotating turret is disposed on the rotating shaft and capable of rotating along with the rotating shaft so as to switch between at least two target operation positions. The power assembly includes a first power source and a magnetic powder clutch. The rotating shaft and the first power source are in transmission connection with each other via the magnetic powder clutch. The magnetic powder clutch is configured to control the rotating shaft to remain stationary when the rotating turret is hovering at each target operation position.

The present disclosure relates to a secondary battery electrode plate cutting device, a secondary battery manufacturing device including the same, and a secondary battery manufacturing method. The secondary battery electrode plate cutting device includes a cutting unit provided with an upper cutter and a lower cutter installed on opposite sides with an electrode plate, which moves along a transfer path therebetween and configured to cut the electrode plate, a cover film supply part configured to supply a cover film to be laminated on a surface of the electrode plate, and a laminating part configured to laminate with the cover film the electrode plate before cutting so that the cutting unit cuts the cover film together with the electrode plate.
