The present application relates to a roll replacing device and an adhesive tape sticking equipment. The roll replacing roll device replacing includes an unwinding member, a roll replacing member, a cutting member, and an end pressing member, which can realize automatic roll replacing of a work strip and a spare strip and reduce staffing, thereby reducing labor cost.

A control system is provided for a converting line. The converting line has an unwinder for unwinding web material from a roll of web material and at least one independently driven roll for directing the web material unwound from the unwinder to the converting line. The control system has a controller and a tension sensor configured to be arranged downstream of the at least one driven roll. The tension sensor is configured to sense a tension in the web as the web is passed downstream of the driven roll, generate a signal indicative of sensed web tension, and transmit the signal of sensed web tension to the controller. The controller is configured to a generate and transmit to the unwinder a signal to change the speed of the unwinder based upon the tension sensed by the tension sensor.

A joint and device for joining ends of at least two fiber webs together, the joint being formed of at least one cut provided to penetrate through the ends of the fiber webs in an overlapping position, which cut has at least one side part and from the side part extending at least one substantially straight part and which cut, which forms at least one flap, being configured to remain attached to the fiber webs by at least one folding line substantially aligned with the direction of the movement of the fiber webs. The device comprises a tool with a cutting edge and a counter element with a groove and located on the opposite side of the fiber webs, and the tool protrudes into the groove. The groove has a greater cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the tool such that a loose and spacey fitting is provided.

In steady control, a shaft control unit (922) adjusts rotation speed of a first support shaft (31) to cause a first roll (R1) to have peripheral speed equal to predetermined conveyance speed by maintaining a sheet storage amount in a storage mechanism (5) in a first storage amount as a reference. In storage amount adjustment control, the shaft control unit (922) accelerates the rotation speed of the first support shaft (31) to increase the peripheral speed of the first roll (R1) higher than the conveyance speed, until the sheet storage amount in the storage mechanism (5) reaches a predetermined second storage amount that is larger than the first storage amount. A calculation unit (911) calculates an outer diameter of the first roll (R1) based on the conveyance speed when the steady control is performed, and calculates the outer diameter of the first roll (R1) based on the sheet thickness calculated from a decrease amount of the outer diameter of the first roll (R1) in the steady control when the storage amount adjustment control is performed.

A control system for a converting line has a sensor configured to sense a distance between the sensor and a surface of a roll of web material as the roll of web material is unwound from an unwinder and directed to the converting line. The controller is configured to: (i) determine a diameter measurement of the roll as the roll rotates based upon the sensor signals; (ii) store a plurality of data structures in a memory of a controller of a control system wherein the data structures comprise a plurality of data items associated together as the diameter measurements of the roll of the web material; (iii) process by a statistical regression analysis the data structures associated with the diameter; and (iv) generate signals for controlling the converting line based upon the processed diameter measurements.

An apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, comprising an output device which is configured to eject at least one material web into the cutting region, wherein the output device comprises at least one driven feed roll and at least one counter-unit which forms a feed gap for the material web together with the feed roll.

The present application relates to a roll replacing device and an adhesive tape sticking equipment. The roll replacing roll device replacing includes an unwinding member, a roll replacing member, a cutting member, and an end pressing member, which can realize automatic roll replacing of a work strip and a spare strip and reduce staffing, thereby reducing labor cost.

A roll replacing device includes an unwinding member, a roll replacing member and a cutting member. The roll replacing member includes a first roll replacing mechanism and a second roll replacing mechanism arranged opposite to each other. The cutting member can cut off a first strip or a second strip pressed between the first roll replacing mechanism and the second roll replacing mechanism.

An unwinder (1) of rolls (B1, B2) including a bearing structure (3) and two pairs of arms (11A, 11B; 13A, 13B) supported movable on the bearing structure (3). The unwinder further includes a splicing machine (31). The bearing structure (3) includes a base (5) and an upright (7) extending from the base, on which a cross member (33) is supported. The cross member (33) includes an intermediate portion (33A) rigidly bound to the upright (7) and a pair of lateral supports (33B, 33C) adapted to assume at least one operating position and one non-operating position, with respect to the inter-mediate portion (33A) of the cross member (33).
