The embosser includes two load-bearing structures that are mutually movable to approach and move away from each other. The first load-bearing structure supports a plurality of first embossing rollers that can be selectively brought to an operating position, in which they cooperate with a first pressure roller. The second load-bearing structure supports one or more second embossing rollers cooperating with a second pressure roller. The two support structures can be moved away from each other to allow the selection movement of the first embossing rollers.

The present invention discloses a decorative material rolling mill having an adjustable roll gap, which includes: a left frame and a right frame connected to each other; and an upper roll and a lower roll, two ends thereof being axially disposed on the left frame and the right frame; and a driving mechanism for driving the upper roll and the lower roll to rotate; and further includes: a rolling gap adjustment mechanism for driving the upper roll or the lower roll to move vertically along the left frame and the right frame, thereby adjusting a rolling gap between the upper roll and the lower roll according to the thickness of a shearing die. The present invention uses a rolling gap adjustment mechanism to adjust a rolling gap between an upper roll and a lower roll, thereby accommodating thickness differences among die sheets, upper rolling plates, and lower rolling plates from different manufacturers. Various rolling gap adjustment mechanisms disclosed by the present invention are simple in structure and convenient to use.

An embossing group includes: a first embossing roller and at least one embossing unit associated with the first roller. The embossing unit includes a second embossing roller, a third embossing roller, and a sleeve surrounding the second roller and the third roller by coupling them. The sleeve faces the first roller and is configured to contact the first roller. The embossing unit and the first roller are configured to emboss at least one paper sheet wound between the first roller and the embossing unit.

The embossing-laminating device includes load bearing structure with at least two side members, a first path, for a first ply of web material, and a second path for a second ply of web material. Along the first path, a first pressure roller and a first interchangeable embossing roller are arranged, which define therebetween a first embossing nip for the first ply of web material. Along the second path a second pressure roller and a second interchangeable embossing roller are arranged, which define a second embossing nip for the second ply of web material. The embossing-laminating device also includes a magazine including a plurality of seats for a plurality of interchangeable embossing rollers, as well as at least a first manipulator for replacing embossing rollers.

In a machine having a pressure and embossing roller, a position of an actuator operatively connected to a journal of the pressure roller is calibrated to a width of a nip formed between the pressure and the embossing rollers. The position of the actuator is changed to move the pressure roller to a position at which the nip forms between the pressure and the embossing rollers. The nip widths are measured in at least three locations along of the rollers. An interference between the pressure and the embossing rollers is calculated at each of the three locations. A deflection curvature of the pressure roller is calculated. A deflection of the journal of the pressure roller at the connection location to the actuator is calculated. The measured widths of the nip are correlated with the position of the actuator when the widths of the nip were measured.

Rolls of an embosser laminator unit may be calibrated with an iterative process of moving axial ends of the roll a set incremental distance until contact between the rolls is made and then making a correction to the distance based upon the end of the roll making contact. The rolls may be move an initial position where the faces of the rolls are devoid of contact with each other. One or both of the rolls may be rotated. The distance between the ends of the rolls may be decreased until the faces of the rolls make contact with each other. The distance between the first ends of the rolls may be increased by an incremental amount, and a determination of contact between the faces of the rolls may be made by alternate movement of the rolls by the incremental amount and position prior to contact.

The embosser includes two load-bearing structures that are mutually movable to approach and move away from each other. The first load-bearing structure supports a plurality of first embossing rollers that can be selectively brought to an operating position, in which they cooperate with a first pressure roller. The second load-bearing structure supports one or more second embossing rollers cooperating with a second pressure roller. The two support structures can be moved away from each other to allow the selection movement of the first embossing rollers.

An embossing system, comprising an embossing frame, and an embossing cassette. The embossing cassette comprises at least 2 rollers, and a body configured to hold the at least 2 rollers, whereby the at least 2 rollers are removably mounted in the body. The embossing frame is configured to removably house the embossing cassette, and the embossing frame comprises an embossing-frame positioning means configured to cooperate with a corresponding body-positioning means of the embossing cassette at a time when the embossing cassette is housed in the embossing frame, to position the embossing cassette in a predetermined position inside of the embossing frame. The embossing system further comprises a plurality of means for adjusting and correcting a position of a rotation axis of the corresponding roller inside the body, a location of each of the means for adjusting and correcting being at one of each end of the at least 2 rollers, and the plurality of means for adjusting and correcting being configured to adjust and correct in at least two of the following: in an axial direction of the corresponding roller, In one of the 2 dimensions of a plane perpendicular to the axial direction, and the embossing frame is further configured to render the plurality of means for adjusting and correcting the position of the rotation axis inaccessible from an outside of the embossing frame at a time when the embossing cassette is housed Inside the embossing frame.
