A printer includes a recording head, a belt, a scale unit, a reading head, a gripping unit. The belt includes a first surface configured to support a medium and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The gripping unit includes a first abutting portion that comes into contact with the first surface, and a second abutting portion that comes into contact with the second surface. The gripping unit can be changed between a gripping state of moving along with the glue belt while gripping the glue belt, and a release state of being separated from the glue belt. When the gripping unit is in the release state, the second abutting portion is separated from the second surface in conjunction with the first abutting portion being separated from the first surface.

A banknote transport system 10 includes: an air blowing tube 100 that forms an air flow path 101; a moving body 200 that travels inside the air blowing tube while receiving an air flow within the air blowing tube; a transport path 401 (a transport tube 400) having at least a portion arranged along the air blowing tube to be adjacent to the air blowing tube; and a transport body 500 configured to be able to retain a banknote and traveling inside the transport path. The moving body includes a moving body magnet 213, and the transport body includes a transport body magnet 523. The banknote transport system moves the transport body in conjunction with movement of the moving body receiving the air flow due to attraction and/or repulsion based on a magnetic force applied between the moving body magnet and the transport body magnet.

A method for operating a coating device for coating a metal strip. The corresponding coating device has an electromagnetic strip-stabilizing device having a plurality of electromagnetic actuators or coils for applying forces to the metal strip. In order to ensure that the strip-stabilizing device is operated only within the operating limits thereof, the magnitudes of the set currents for the actuators or the coils are compared with a specified current threshold value or the forces applied to the metal strip by the actuators are compared with a specified force threshold value and the correction roller is moved into such an adjustment position that the magnitudes of the set currents are below the current threshold value or the magnitudes of the forces are below the force threshold value.

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.

A steel sheet shape control method includes, (A) setting a target correction shape of the steel sheet at a position of an electromagnet to a curved shape, (B) measuring a steel sheet shape when electromagnetic correction is performed, (C) calculating the steel sheet shape in a nozzle position based on the steel sheet shape, (D) repeating (B) and (C) by resetting the target correction shape to a curved shape having a smaller amount of warp, (E) when the amount of warp of the steel sheet shape at the position of the nozzle is less than the upper limit value, (F) calculating vibration of the steel sheet at the position of the nozzle, and (G) adjusting a control gain of the electromagnet until amplitude of vibration is less than a second upper limit value when the amplitude of the vibration is equal to or more than the second upper limit value.

The invention relates to a transport device (10) for a beginning or an end of a web, comprising at least one driver (27) for a beginning or an end of a web (1). The transport device (10) is largely guided on a horizontal plane from a front region to a rear region of a system. The transport device (10) is to be improved such that smaller quantities of impregnated decorative paper can be produced with little complexity and minimum waste. For this purpose, the driver (27) comprises a plate-shaped magnet (22) which is guided below the web (1) during the operation of the transport device (10), extends over at least the width of the web (1), and interacts with a magnetizable sheet-metal plate (23) during the operation of the transport device (10), said sheet-metal plate being movable above the web (1) from a rest position into a holding position.

To downsize a curved transport route through which a transport target is transported without being deformed.

A transport path 401 includes a first curved transport tubular-body unit 415B having a first curved shape in which a bottom surface 411B located beside an air blowing tube 100 bulges into a convex shape toward the air blowing tube. The first curved transport tubular-body unit is configured to increase a distance H between the bottom surface and a top surface 413B opposite to the bottom surface from each end portion toward an intermediate portion in a transport direction x to prevent a banknote P retained by a transport body 500 from coming into contact with the top surface.
