A manufacturing method for a glass roll includes cutting a glass ribbon along a longitudinal direction thereof in a cutting region on a conveyance path while conveying the glass ribbon, and taking up the cut glass ribbon around a roll core at a downstream end of the conveyance path. A conveyance-mode changeable region is provided between the cutting region and the downstream end of the conveyance path. The conveyance-mode changeable region enables a change in conveyance mode between a first mode of conveying the glass ribbon in a tensioned state and a second mode of conveying the glass ribbon in a loosened state. After the leading end portion of the glass ribbon is wound around the roll core in the first conveyance mode, the conveyance mode is shifted from the first conveyance mode to the second conveyance mode.

A roll and a method for producing a roll which are capable of effectively preventing tunneling are provided. A roll includes a core having a tubular shape and a laminate wound around the core. The laminate includes a process film, a surface coat layer, a substrate layer, an adhesive layer, and a release liner, in this order, in a laminating direction. The process film is formed from at least one member selected from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyolefins, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The surface coat layer is formed from a fluorine resin. The release liner is formed from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The core is formed from an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer resin (ABS) or polypropylene (PP).

A winder includes a winding mechanism, a chamber housing the winding mechanism, at least one vacuum pump, and a product case. The winding mechanism is configured to wind a belt-shaped raw film around a winding core. The belt-shaped raw film is composed of a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of separating films. The at least one vacuum pump is configured to suck air into the chamber. The product case is configured to house a plurality of winding products each formed by winding the raw film with use of the winding mechanism disposed in the chamber.

A winder includes a winding mechanism, a chamber, a vacuum pump, a conveying route and a product case. The winding mechanism winds a belt-shaped raw film around a winding core, the belt-shaped raw film being composed of a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of separating films. The chamber houses the winding mechanism. The vacuum pump sucks air into the chamber. The conveying route has a sealed outer space outside the chamber, an inner space of the chamber leading to the outer space in the conveyance route. The product case is disposed in the conveying route to house a plurality of winding products each formed by winding the raw film with use of the winding mechanism.

A processing method of a base material sheet includes winding out the base material sheet wound up by a first core and a first porous sheet wound up by a second core, winding up by a third core the base material sheet and the first porous sheet to be overlapped with each other, and processing the base material sheet by a first processing liquid held in the first porous sheet; and winding out the base material sheet and the first porous sheet overlappingly wound up by the third core, winding up the first porous sheet by the second core, and winding up the base material sheet by the first core.

The invention relates to an automated device to transfer and thread a bearing band (3) on a fixed reel (2) from a removable reel (1), said reels (1,2) being joined and integral to corresponding shafts (4,5), wherein said device comprises a folding arm (6) adapted to perform a translational movement, which in turn comprises a hook (7) and a carriage (8) configured to move the arm (6) horizontally between both reels (1,2), and wherein the device further comprises a tensioning roller (10) adapted to move vertically through an intermediate column (11), such that it allows the first bearing band (3) to be transferred between reels (1,2) automatically in order to finally wind a second bearing band (12) with the first bearing band (3) onto the removable reel (1) automatically and simultaneously.

The device incorporates a mobile station with: a first shaft (6) to support a movable reel (4) and to actuate rotation of the movable reel (4) around the first shaft (6); gripping means (10) for gripping and releasing the movable reel (4) from a first side of the movable reel (4) closest to the first shaft (6); and transport means (15) to move the movable reel (4) in the direction of the first shaft (6) between the mobile station (1) and a loading position. The process handles one single reel (4) in each change, reducing labor and simplifying logistical management of reels (4). Likewise, the reels (4) are handled from one single side, the side closest to the first shaft (6). Therefore, space is freed up on the other side, providing more available space.

A method of fabricating a textile structure of varying thickness including using a loom to weave a fiber texture in the form of a strip extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis and widthwise along an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and causing the texture to be wound under tension onto a mandrel. The texture includes a portion presenting extra thickness. During the winding of the texture, a spacer element is interposed between adjacent turns of the fiber texture onto the mandrel. Each spacer element extends in the width direction of the texture over a portion thereof situated outside the portion of extra thickness and presenting, over the portion of the texture situated outside the portion of extra thickness, a thickness that corresponds at least to the difference between thicknesses of the portion of extra thickness and of the portion of the texture situated outside the portion of extra thickness.

A method of manufacturing a glass roll includes separating unnecessary portions from a glass ribbon by cutting the glass ribbon along a longitudinal direction while conveying the glass ribbon. The method also includes passing the glass ribbon, from which the unnecessary portions are separated, through a looseness conveyance region on a conveyance path where the glass ribbon is loosened, and taking up the glass ribbon around a roll core at a downstream end of the conveyance path. A suction conveyor is provided between the looseness conveyance region and the downstream end on the conveyance path. While the glass ribbon is conveyed by the suction conveyor, the glass ribbon is tensioned between the suction conveyor and the downstream end on the conveyance path along with taking up the glass ribbon around the roll core.

Disclosed is a wind-up system and a method for winding-up a strip. The wind-up system includes a first work station and a first supply member for supplying the strip to said first work station. The first work station includes a first collection area for holding a first collection reel to collect and wind-up the strip; a first liner area for holding a first liner reel to unwind a liner, and a first guide area extending from the first liner area into the first collection area, wherein the unwound liner is unwound from the first liner reel through the first guide area onto the first collection reel. The wind-up system further includes a pick-and-place member for picking-up a leading end from the first supply member and for placing the picked-up leading end of the strip onto the liner within the first guide area.
