Device for winding a material web, particularly a metal strip, wherein a coil (1) is supported during the winding process by at least two support rollers (2, 3), wherein the support rollers (2, 3) can be jointly pivoted about a pivot axis (18) between a first, substantially horizontal, position and a second position, which is inclined relative to the horizontal position, by means of a pivoting device (11).

An adjusting method for a printing apparatus includes a head configured onto perform printing on a medium, a winding shaft configured to wind thereon the transported medium, a shaft adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a position of the winding shaft, and a notification part configured to provide a notification, the method including a printing step for printing a scale onto the medium, a transporting step for transporting the scale to the winding shaft, an image-capturing step for image-capturing the scale, which is transported to the winding shaft, at two different locations of the medium in a direction along an axis of the winding shaft, a notification step for providing to the notification part a notification about a result based on a captured image of the scale, and an adjustment step for adjusting a position of the winding shaft in accordance with a result notified to the notification part.

An apparatus (un-interleaver) for unwinding a roll of material interleaved with another material, and for separating the materials, includes a first platform, a second platform, a tension-sensor, an edge-sensor, and a controller. The controller monitors signals generated by the tension-sensor and the edge-sensor, and in response to the signals: a) causes the speed at which the second platform rotates to change to maintain a predetermined tension in the second material as the second material travels from the first platform toward the second platform, and b) causes the second platform to move relative to the first platform to align the edge of the second material traveling toward the roll of second material with the edge of the second material in the roll.

A system for forming glass rolls is provided. The system includes a glass ribbon supply system configured to supply a glass ribbon, a cutting system configured to cut the glass ribbon to a first portion and a second portion, a first glass winding system configured to wind the first portion of the glass ribbon to form a first glass roll, and a second glass winding system configured to wind the second portion of the glass ribbon to form a second glass roll.

A winding device is capable of easily moving a flange portion to a position corresponding to a width of a continuous medium. A winding device that winds a print medium, the winding device including a winding shaft, a winding core portion that is provided to be rotatable on the winding shaft and that winds a continuous medium, a first flange portion that is provided on the winding shaft to be movable in an extending direction of the winding shaft and that guides the continuous medium wound around the winding core portion in a width direction of the continuous medium, a flange-side engaging portion capable of moving integrally with the first flange portion, and a flange moving section that includes a cylindrical cam provided with a cam-side engaging portion that engages with the flange-side engaging portion and that moves the first flange portion to a plurality of flange positions.
