The invention relates to a system for feeding a coating material from a modular unit to a coating device, said modular unit (40-42) being provided for the storage and provision of preferably roll-type or coil-type coating material units, in particular edge strips (K) for applying to a narrow side of panel-type workpieces (W) and said feed system having: a feed section (20) for holding and transporting the coating material; a cassette unit (25) for guiding the coating material provided by the feed section (20); at least one mobile modular unit (40-42); and a coupling section (30) for coupling the mobile modular unit (40-42) to the feed section (20), the modular unit (40-42) holding coating material units.

An apparatus for slicing food products includes a product feed and an interleaver. The product feed is operable to supply products to a cutting plane in a plurality of tracks running in parallel next to one another. At least one cutting blade is moved in the cutting plane. The interleaver has a conveying device for each track that is operable to convey a front end region of an interleaved sheet material web through the cutting plane in each track to provide the front end region in the respective track as an interleaved sheet between cut-off product layers. The interleaver is operable individually per track and each conveying device is configured such that it conveys the respective front end region of the respective interleaved sheet material web through the cutting plane individually per track in dependence on an angular position of the cutting blade.

A continuous winding method produces a continuously wound electrical device, such an undulator. A continuous tape is wound about a series of turn around pins and in grooves in a magnetic core. A plurality of winding stacks are created, each transitioning to the next sequential stack by a transition tape portion extending from one turn around pin to the next turn around pin, which is position opposite with regard to the location of the pin on the magnetic core.

A sheet delivery system includes: a joining unit which joins, to an intermediate section of a sheet being delivered from a delivery-side original material roll, an end section of a sheet W of a standby-side original material roll; and an operation robot which retrieves the end section of the sheet from the standby-side original material roll and which conveys the end section of the sheet to the joining unit. The sheet delivery system sets, in advance, a sheet retrieval position at which the sheet is retrieved from each of the original material rolls, for each of the original material rolls. The operation robot is configured to convey the end section of the sheet from each of the sheet retrieval positions to the joining unit.

A delivery device for feeding planar material webs, for example airlaids, wetlaids, non-wovens, or films/foils, to a processing installation is proposed, said delivery device having a splicing unit and a multiple-web unwinding device. The splicing unit is configured for connecting a fibrous-web end of a preceding individual fibrous web to a fibrous-web lead of a subsequent individual fibrous web, so as to in this way feed a non-interrupted fibrous web to the processing installation. The splicing unit is moreover configured for processing airlaid fibrous webs that are wound on winding cores and are thus made up as roll goods. The multiple-web unwinding device has at least two winding-core mounts that are capable of being loaded in a mutually independent manner. Each of the winding-core mounts may receive a plurality of comparatively narrow rolls having narrower individual fibrous webs, or alternatively also a comparatively wider roll having a wider multiple fibrous web that is perforated in the unwinding direction. By virtue of the perforation, the wider multiple fibrous web may be detached so as to form a plurality of individual fibrous webs by severing along the perforation, such that as a result narrow fibrous webs may likewise be fed to the splicing unit, as is possible in the case of correspondingly narrow rolls having narrower individual fibrous webs.

Methods produce adhesive rolls having adhesive elements and comprise a) producing a dispenser material tape in a dispenser arrangement and comprising a multiplicity of adhesive elements, wherein the dispenser arrangement is configured to separate the adhesive elements from a web-shaped first release material in a dispensing region and to output them from the dispenser arrangement, b) producing receiving arrangements comprising a feed roller, a receiving roller, a guide arrangement, and a web-shaped second release material, c) guiding the dispenser material tape through the dispensing region, d) rolling the second release materials onto the receiving rollers, and e) outputting adhesive elements from the dispenser arrangement in the dispensing region and, in each case, transferring some of the output adhesive elements into the receiving regions.
