Provided is a sheet supply device capable of reliably joining sheets by accurately transmitting force for joining the sheets. A joining mechanism includes a pressing roller that presses a sheet of a supply side roll against the outer peripheral surface of a standby side roll; and a moving unit that supports the pressing roller such that the pressing roller is configured to approach and move away from the standby side roll supported by a support shaft disposed at a splice position in the radial direction of the standby side roll. The moving unit supports the pressing roller such that the center of the pressing roller is movable on a straight line passing through the center of a rotation shaft and the center of the support shaft disposed at the splice position.

A controller includes: an adhesion member position determination unit that determines a position of an adhesion member in a rotation direction of a roll on the basis of the result of detection from an adhesion member detector in a state in which the roll has been rotated by a shaft control unit; and an outer diameter determination unit that determines an outer diameter of the roll in a portion where the adhesion member is positioned, the determination being performed on the basis of the result of detection from an outer diameter detector in a state in which driving of shaft drive sources are controlled by the shaft control unit such that the adhesion member is positioned within a detection range of the outer diameter detector on the basis of the position of the adhesion member determined by the adhesion member position determination unit.

An unwinder of reels of web material wound around winding spindles (A), includes a unwinding station (13) with at least one unwinding member (23) to rotate a reel (B) that is located in the unwinding station and feed the web material toward a delivery path (E). Lifting members (51, 53) are provided to lift a spindle of a first exhausted reel from the unwinding station (13), in a removal position (PR). An insertion member (7; 33) is further provided to insert a second reel into the unwinding station (13). A pressing member (61) is arranged to press the web material coming from the first reel in removal position (PR) against the second reel in the unwinding station (13).
