The method relates to tape connecting device (1) and a method for connecting a first tape to a second tape for providing a tape string. In the tape connecting device (1) when continuously conveying the first tape an end section of the first tape is connected to a start section of the second tape by an adhesive connection by a liquid (in particular water) arranged in a connecting section. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for connecting two tapes, a processing system and a use of a method.

The inventive tape connecting device (1) and the method can in particular be used for a continuous provision of a security tape for a security document as a banknote.

A label printer includes a print head, a transporting roller, a peeling roller, and a control unit, wherein the control unit controls a current value to be supplied to a peeling motor configured to rotate the peeling roller such that a transport force of the peeling roller for transporting the backing sheet is equal to or greater than a minimum force required for peeling the label and is greater than a maximum friction force between the peeling roller and the backing sheet, and the maximum friction force and a maximum friction force between the transporting roller and the label sheet are set such that the maximum friction force between the peeling roller and the backing sheet is equal to or smaller than a transport force of the peeling roller that sets a transport error of the label sheet by the transporting roller to be within an acceptable value.

In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a dispenser assembly for dispensing supplies of sheet material. The dispensing assembly can include a carrier supporting the supplies of sheet material and being moveable along a track between various dispensing positions. The dispenser assembly also can include a carrier pivoting assembly with a lever that engages one of the supplies of sheet material and rotates during dispensing thereof, as well as one or more biased pins connected to the lever and configured to engage locking features provided along the track to support the carrier in one of the dispensing positions. The biased pins further can be configured to retract with rotation of the lever such that they disengage the locking features so the carrier to moves along the track to different dispensing position. Other aspects also are described.

A mounting apparatus (10) serves to place a film between an electronic component and a bottom surface of a mounting head and mount the electronic component. The mounting apparatus includes: a film winding mechanism (18) that rotates a winding reel (26) to wind in a film spanning from a dispensing reel to the winding reel (26), the film winding mechanism (18) executing the winding so that a new film is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting head each time when an electronic component is mounted; a tension detecting part (38) that detects the tension of the film after the same is wound by the film winding mechanism (18); and a control part (20) that rotates the winding reel (26) by a winding motor (30) to adjust the tension on the basis of the tension detected by the tension detecting part (38). A film supply apparatus is also provided.

A core box with interchangeable rails for holding a variety of sizes of cores.

A packaging for a storage and a transport of a plurality of textile or non-woven strips which are wound in respective rolls. Each of the plurality of textile or non-woven strips are wound around a core. Each of the rolls has a diameter which is equivalent to a multiple of a width of the plurality of textile or non-woven strips when wound in a roll. The packaging includes connectors having a sleeve-shape or a round-profile-shape. The cores are arranged coaxially on top of each other and are connected with each other via the connectors which are inserted into respective cavities of the cores neighboring each other for stacking two or more of the rolls so that all of the cores form a stable core shaft and so that the rolls neighboring each other have a distance between their respective lateral faces.

A reel holder includes: a plate-shaped rotating plate; multiple reel support portions evenly arranged in a circumferential direction about the center of the rotating plate, and supporting the tape reels such that each of the tape reels is rotatable about the center thereof; and a rotating plate support portion supporting the rotating plate such that the rotating plate is rotatable about the center of the rotating plate.

The current invention is generally directed to apparatuses and methods for controlling tension and tension disturbances in a web being continuously unwound from a roll of spirally wound web material. In accordance with the present disclosure, a rotary dancer mechanism is used for applying active and variable forces to a moving web in response to irregularities, such as variations in tension. In one aspect, the apparatus and method of the present disclosure may be used to attenuate undesired disturbances in the web as the web is being fed into a process.

The invention relates to an applicator for a folded adhesive tape (8) comprising an adhesive tape roll (6) with an adhesive tape (7) which comprises a bonding agent layer (30), an unwinding device for an end section of the adhesive tape (7) from the adhesive tape roll (6), a plasma source (20) having a process gas (22) enriched with reactive species, directed onto a reactive outer side (31) of the bonding agent layer (30) of the unwound end section of the adhesive tape (7), wherein the bonding agent layer (30) at least one substance folding device (10) for the adhesive tape (7), disposed downstream of the plasma source (20) in a running direction of the adhesive tape (7), for producing the folded adhesive tape (8).

A bonding machine capable of trimming new and old SMT splice tapes comprises a supporting plate (1). A new splice tape conveying device (3) and an old splice tape conveying deVice (4) are disposed upon the supporting plate (1) are disposed opposite each other. A lifting device (8) is disposed in the middle of the supporting plate (1), and a bonding mechanism (7) is disposed above the lifting device (8). A cutting device (6) is disposed above the old splice tape conveying device (4) and comprises a cutting seat (60), a cutting motor (61) disposed upon the cutting seat (60), and a cutting cam (62) connected to a cutter (64) which is disposed upon the cutting seat (60).
