A method of printing comprising includes spreading and flattening a plastic film web before passing the plastic film web through a first printing unit; and spreading and flattening the plastic film web after the plastic film web exits the first printing unit and before passing the plastic film web through a second printing unit.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a conveying unit, a winding unit, a printing unit, and a rotation control unit. The conveying unit is configured to intermittently convey a printing medium by a predetermined feed amount. The winding unit is configured to wind the printing medium conveyed by the conveying unit. The printing unit is configured to perform printing on the conveyed printing medium. The rotation control unit is configured to control the winding unit to rotate in a winding direction at a predetermined timing after the conveying unit has started to convey the printing medium intermittently, and then cause the winding unit to rotate in a reverse direction opposite to the winding direction.

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for securely applying print to a web of continuous polymeric film. The web can first travel in a machine direction on a tensioning roller and onto a folding board whereupon the web is divided into first and second partial widths with a cross-section of the web taking on a U-shape or a V-shape. In between the cross-section of these two partial widths a printer can be placed such that the printer prints onto an inner surface of first partial width. Once the printing is complete, the folding of the web can be completed such that an inner surface of the second partial width is in contact with, covers, and protects the printed matter placed onto the first partial width.

A winding machine (10) for winding and/or unwinding band-shaped or strip-like material (12) has at least one rotary plate (16), which is arranged on a pivot arm (24) and can be driven by means of at least two opposite coupling elements (20, 22), at least one coupling element (20) being associated with the rotary plate (16), and the rotary plate (16) being transferrable by means of a pivot device (30) between at least one decoupled state and at least one coupled state. Because the coupling elements (20, 22) can be positioned opposite one another in a coupling position in a sensor-based manner, this allows a coupling process which is as wear-free as possible.

The invention relates to a device, comprising: a spreader roll (2), the spreader roll having a roll tube (3), over which a material web is guided, the bending of the spreader roll (2) about its longitudinal axis allowing the material web to be spread out; and two bearing journals (4), which are operatively connected to the roll tube (3) and are pivotably articulated in a machine frame (1), the bearing journals (4) being mounted on the machine frame (1) by means of pivotable bearings (6) and the bearing journals having longitudinal pins (5) protruding beyond the bearings (6), at the ends of which longitudinal pins radially acting adjustment means (7) are positioned.

Provided are a roller assembly, a battery cell manufacturing device, and an adjustment method of a roller, which relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology. The roller assembly includes a holder, a roller, and a first adjusting member. The roller is rotatably mounted on the holder. The first adjusting member is rotatably mounted on the holder, and one end of the roller is rotatably connected to the first adjusting member. A rotation axis of the roller does not coincide with a rotation axis of the first adjusting member. One end of the roller is rotatably mounted on the holder through the first adjusting member. The rotation axis of the first adjusting member does not coincide with the rotation axis of the roller, and therefore, rotation of the first adjusting member is capable of driving a corresponding end of the roller to rotate, thereby adjusting an extension direction of the roller.

A recording apparatus includes a printing portion and a first conveying portion. The printing portion ejects liquid to print a medium having elasticity. The first conveying portion is disposed upstream of the printing portion in a conveying direction along which the medium is conveyed to the printing portion. The first conveying portion includes at least two conveying bodies disposed in the conveying direction and around which the medium is alternately wound. The conveying bodies each include a shaft extending in a width direction orthogonal to the conveying direction and a plurality of rollers rotatably supported by the shaft. The plurality of rollers are supported to be inclined outward with respect to the conveying direction from upstream to downstream in the conveying direction.

A roller (1) is used for guiding and/or width stretching of a running material web (2). The roller (1) has a supporting body (3), on the outside of which receptacles (4) for axially displaceably held battens (5) are provided. These grasp the material web (2). In order to improve the functionality of this roller (1), at least one undercut groove (6) is formed on the supporting body (3) between at least two of the battens (5). This undercut groove (6) can receive at least one functional component (7).
