A slit device including a first transport section which transports a web in a transport direction while nipping the web, a second transport section which is disposed in parallel with a direction intersecting the transport direction of the first transport section and which transports the web in the transport direction while nipping the web, and a cutting section which is disposed between the first transport section and the second transport section in a direction intersecting the transport direction and which cuts the web along the transport direction, in which a cutting position at which the web is cut by the cutting section is a position within a nipping area where the first transport section nips the web along the transport direction, or is a position downstream of the nipping area in the transport direction.

Provided is method of producing a glass roll, the method including: a conveying step of conveying a glass film (G) along a longitudinal direction thereof; a cutting step of irradiating the glass film (G) with a laser beam (L) from a laser irradiation apparatus (19) while conveying the glass film (G) by the conveying step, to thereby separate the glass film (G) into a non-product portion (Gc) and a product portion (Gd); and a take-up step of taking up the product portion (Gd) into a roll shape, to thereby form a glass roll (R). The cutting step includes winding a thread-like peeled material (Ge) generated from an end portion of the product portion (Gd) in a width direction around a rod-shaped collecting member (20a), to thereby collect the thread-like peeled material (Ge).

The present invention relates to a device (1) for automatically cutting a material web (2) with a longitudinal cutting device (60) using a material web (2) in a longitudinal direction (L) separable in at least a partial web (3) and/or at least a remaining web (4), a discharging device (10) for automatically discharging the produced remaining web (4), a transverse cutting device (70) downstream of a longitudinal cutting device (60) for cutting the remaining web (4) transversely to the longitudinal direction (L).

A method of forming a hose from a flat web material includes supplying the flat web material via a feeding device, folding the edges of the flat web material with at least one hose formation tool, with the edge sections subsequently overlapping, and connecting to each other parts of the overlapping edge sections, A target position of at least one edge is determined after the edges have been folded over, with the actual position of at least one edge being determined by a measuring device. In the event of a deviation of the actual position from the target position, the hose formation tool is moved, via an actuator, at least perpendicular relative to the direction of transportation of the flat web material.

A apparatus for processing sheets includes: a conveyance unit conveying a sheet; a processing unit provided with processing members processing the sheet along a conveyance direction, and a moving unit moving the processing members in a width direction; and a controller. When a processing position in the width direction to be processed by the processing members is different between a sheet conveyed ahead by the conveyance unit and a subsequent sheet, the controller processes the subsequent sheet by using a processing member having a minimum movement distance from the processing position of the sheet conveyed ahead among the processing members.

The present invention relates to a Suction nozzle (110) for a suction device (100) for conveyance of cut waste strips (210) of a film web (200) comprising a nozzle duct (10) with a nozzle inlet (12) for suctioning the waste strips (210) and with a nozzle outlet (14) for introducing the waste strips (210) into the suction duct (130), wherein the nozzle duct (10) comprises an inlet portion (12a) adjacent to the nozzle inlet (12) and an outlet portion (14a) adjacent to the nozzle outlet (14) and between the outlet portion (14a) and the inlet portion (12a) an at least one rotation portion (16a) is assembled, whose flow cross section (20) is at least partially twisted over the run of the rotation portion (16a).

The invention relates to a separating device (10) for separating a tubular flat material (1) having an actual tube width (1.1), comprising at least one longitudinal separating unit (20) for removing a first edge region (2) and a second edge region (3) of the flat material (1). The invention further relates to a separating method (100) for separating a tubular flat material and to a system (70) having a separating device (10).
