An apparatus for splicing comprises a first web support surface configured to support a traveling web thereon and a second web support surface configured to support a replacement web thereon. The first traveling web travels in a machine direction. The splicing assembly also comprises a first web sensor and a web joiner. A controller is configured to determine, via the first web sensor, a position of a trailing end of the traveling web and to, in response to determining the position of the trailing end, cause a leading end of the replacement web to be positioned adjacently to the trailing end. The computer is also configured to control the web joiner to create a joint coupling the trailing end to the leading end.

A web splice for attaching two webs, such as paper webs used in paper converting operations. The web splice comprises a non-linear butt joint. The butt joint forms an acute included angle () with the side edges.

A method for cutting and connecting two bands end to end and which are at a stop, namely a first band ensuring the feed, and a second replacement band, in an unrolling machine including a cutting and connecting device including two connection assemblies arranged symmetrically with respect to a cutting and connection plane is provided. Utilizing the unrolling machine the method includes preparation of the second band, then immobilization of the bands in the plane, of simultaneous and transverse cutting of the latter, of disengagement of the cut portions not to be connected, and of end-to-end connecting of the cut portions thereof to be connected. A cutting and connecting device and a machine enabling the implementation of the method is also provided.

The present invention relates to the field of SMT splicing belt processing equipment, in particular to a bonding machine for new and old SMT splicing belts, comprising a supporting plate, in which a new splicing belt conveying device and an old splicing belt conveying device which are opposite are arranged on the supporting plate; both sides of the two groups of conveying devices are equipped with limiting blocks which are matched with splicing belts; a jacking device matched with the splicing belts is arranged on the top of the supporting plate; a bonding mechanism matched with the splicing belts is arranged above the jacking device; and the new splicing belt conveying device, the old splicing belt conveying device, the jacking device and the bonding mechanism are connected to a controller. The present invention aims to provide the bonding machine for new and old SMT splicing belts; new and old splicing belts are conveyed to the center through the new splicing belt conveying device and the old splicing belt conveying device, and the new splicing belts and the old splicing belts are bonded and sewed through the bonding mechanism, so that the old splicing belts can be recycled without damaging the splicing effects of the splicing belts, and therefore, the splicing cost is reduced to certain extent.

An assembly for feeding backing ribbon for adhesive labels for labeling products to be labeled, comprising a splicing device and at least two supporting elements for the backing ribbon, the splicing device being intended to perform on command the splice between a first splicing region, formed on a first backing ribbon being unwound from a first supporting element, and a second splicing region, formed on a second backing ribbon wound on a second supporting element, the first backing ribbon supporting a plurality of adhesive labels which are arranged, mutually spaced, on the face directed toward the second splicing region; the first backing ribbon having, when associated with the respective first supporting element, at least one portion that is free from self-adhesive labels and forms the first splicing region; the portion is located substantially at the end of the first backing ribbon that is associated with the first supporting element.

A method for joining unidirectional tapes is provided. The method includes placing a plurality of unidirectional tapes by abutting without overlapping an end of one of the unidirectional tapes with an end of other one of the unidirectional tapes at a butt joint. The unidirectional tapes includes a resin material and a plurality of fibers running in a running direction. The method further includes placing a prepreg including a resin material and a plurality of short fibers over the butt joint to cover an area surrounding the butt joint such that the short fibers run in the running direction. The method further includes fusing the prepreg by applying heat such that the short fibers are fused into a matrix of the unidirectional tapes at the butt joint.

A splicing apparatus for splicing together an engaged paper sheet with a replenishing paper sheet in a paperboard corner manufacturing system, the apparatus comprising: an engaged sheet holder for holding the engaged paper sheet; an engaged sheet cutter for cutting the engaged paper sheet to form a free engaged paper end; a replenishing sheet holder for holding the replenishing paper sheet; a replenishing sheet cutter for cutting the replenishing paper sheet to form a free replenishing paper end; a sheet end alignment device for positioning both free engaged and replenishing paper ends relative to each other and substantially aligned with each other; an adhesive tape applicator for applying an adhesive tape simultaneously to the aligned free engaged and replenishing paper ends such that the adhesive tape extends partially over the engaged and replenishing paper sheets to join the free replenishing paper end to the free engaged paper end.

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an auto-splicing device for an electrode and an auto-splicing method, and more particularly, to an auto-splicing device for an electrode and an auto-splicing method, which can minimize connection defects between the running electrode and the new electrode, wherein the running electrode and the new electrode connected and supplied to the running electrode are aligned on the basis of their coating lines by using the auto-slicing device.

An assembly for feeding backing ribbon for adhesive labels for labeling products to be labeled, comprising a splicing device and at least two supporting elements for the backing ribbon, the splicing device being intended to perform on command the splice between a first splicing region, formed on a first backing ribbon being unwound from a first supporting element, and a second splicing region, formed on a second backing ribbon wound on a second supporting element, the first backing ribbon supporting a plurality of adhesive labels which are arranged, mutually spaced, on the face directed toward the second splicing region; the first backing ribbon having, when associated with the respective first supporting element, at least one portion that is free from self-adhesive labels and forms the first splicing region; the portion is located substantially at the end of the first backing ribbon that is associated with the first supporting element.
