Disclosed in the present application are an automatic roll replacing device, and winding equipment. The automatic roll replacing device comprises: a mounting frame; an unwinding mechanism, comprising an unwinding shaft connected to the mounting frame in such a manner that the unwinding shaft can rotate around its own axis; a spare material mechanism, comprising a spare material shaft having a contact end and a material pushing member providing an axial pushing force for a spare material roll on the spare material shaft, the spare material shaft being connected to the mounting frame in such a manner that the spare material shaft can rotate around the rotation axis, when the spare material shaft is located at a material pushing position, the contact end contacting the unwinding shaft, and the material pushing member being controlled to push the spare material roll on the spare material shaft to transfer to the unwinding shaft; and a strip connection mechanism, provided on the mounting frame, and used for cutting off a work material strip unwound from the unwinding shaft and connecting the cutoff work material strip to the spare material roll. According to the automatic roll replacing device provided by the present application, the use of the spare material shaft and the material pushing member implements pushing of a spare material roll on the spare material shaft to the unwinding shaft, and there is no need to provide two unwinding mechanisms, thereby greatly simplifying the structure of the automatic roll replacing device, and reducing the occupied space.

A system for automatic handling and sorting of narrow-slit rolls. Wherein the system is also capable of preventing toppling of the narrow-slit rolls.

Method for unwinding web materials from two parent reels (1, 2), wherein a first parent reel (1) in a depletion phase is replaced by a second parent reel (2), wherein during said replacement a first and a second web material (N1, N2) are unwound from both parent reels, wherein before the completion of said replacement the first web material (N1) is joined to the second web material (N2) and then it is cut, wherein the joining of said web materials (N1, N2) is preceded by the insertion of the second web material in an area where the two web materials are joined, and during the step of inserting the second web material in said joining area the second web material is guided on a guide surface (41, 44) which guides it towards the joining area. In said insertion step, the second web material adheres pneumatically to guide surface.

The present invention provides to a transport package for lifting and positioning a wide format media roll into or out of a printing system, comprising a deformable support body for supporting a bottom side of a media roll in a stabilized manner, a releasable securing member for releasably securing a first end of the support body to an attachment region of the support body, such that the support body forms a substantially closed loop around the media roll, and at least one carrying member provided at a second end of the support body and arranged for engaging lifting means for lifting the media roll. Additionally, a media roll assembly and a method for loading a media roll into a printing system are provided.

Disclosed in the present application are an automatic roll replacing device, and winding equipment. The automatic roll replacing device includes: a mounting frame; an unwinding mechanism, including an unwinding shaft rotatably connected to the mounting frame around its own axis; a spare material mechanism, including a spare material shaft having a contact end and a material pushing member providing an axial pushing force for a spare material roll on the spare material shaft, the spare material shaft being rotatably connected to the mounting frame around the rotation axis, and the material pushing member being controlled to push the spare material roll on the spare material shaft to transfer to the unwinding shaft; and a strip connection mechanism, provided on the mounting frame, and used for cutting off a work material strip unwound from the unwinding shaft and connecting the cut-off work material strip to the spare material roll.
