The invention relates to a release liner removal apparatus, comprising at least one release liner removal device for removing at least one release liner from at least one adhesive piece arranged on a material web, at least one support body which supports the at least one release liner removal device, and at least one guide body which is arranged adjacent to the at least one release liner removal device at least during the removal of the at least one release liner and which serves for guiding the material web.

The invention relates to a plant having at least one material roll preparation arrangement for bringing a material roll carrying a material web to be drawn in into a defined initial situation, and having at least one material web working/processing arrangement, in particular material web dispensing arrangement, in particular material web unrolling arrangement, in particular material web splicing arrangement, which material web working/processing arrangement is capable, owing to the defined initial situation of the material roll, of receiving the material roll in automated fashion and preferably receiving the material web in automated fashion and/or preparing the material web in automated fashion.

A high-speed digital printing system includes two unwinding machines for two input coils for a paper web, an input unwinding and splicing installation and a printing station and in which the input installation supplies, in turn, the printing station with the web of the two coils. The system also includes a splicing and rewinding installation with an output cutting and splicing equipment for an incoming web emerging from the printing station and two rewinding machines with two output coils. The output equipment feeds alternatively the rewinding machines with the incoming web by cutting and splicing of a web of the two output coils without stopping printing. An electronic controller switches the functionality of the output cutting and splicing equipment and of the rewinding machines with setting of the output coils as an operating coil and a waiting coil and, viceversa, as a waiting coil and an operating coil.

An adhesive web article including an adhesive web defining a first surface, a second surface, a first end, a second end, a length in between, and an adhesive layer defining a first adhesive surface. The adhesive web is folded over upon itself along the length such that a first portion of the first adhesive surface is in facing relationship with a second portion of the first adhesive surface.

Provided is an automatic coiled material switching device, which comprises a machine table (8), a left unwinding device (81), a right unwinding device (82) and a rotatory cutting device (83); wherein the machine table is provided with a left auxiliary roller (84), a right auxiliary roller (85) and a plurality of fixed rollers; the rotary cutting device comprises a bearing seat (1), a bearing (11) arranged on the bearing seat, a rotating main body (2) arranged on the bearing, a rotating mechanism for driving the rotating main body to rotate on the bearing seat, a turning mechanism for driving the bearing seat to turn around, and a driving mechanism; the rotating main body comprises an upper part (21) and a lower part (22); a gap (23) for allowing a material to pass through is formed between the upper part and the lower part; and the rotating body is provided with a pressing mechanism for compressing the material and a cutting mechanism for cutting the material. The automatic coiled material switching device implements the automatic switching of material belts of the left unwinding device and the right unwinding device by arranging the rotating main body, rotating mechanism, the turning mechanism, the driving mechanism, the pressing mechanism and the cutting mechanism.

Splicing method and unit for a packaging machine, whereby a first film is spliced to a second film which is a spare film. The splicing is performed by means of an adhesive element with two opposing adhesive surfaces, one for each film, and a longitudinal adhering element. First an adhesive surface is adhered to the adhering element and said adhering element moves so that the other adhesive surface comes into contact with the second film and adheres to it. Then the adhering element is separated from said second film, the adhesive element being adhered to said second film, and the first film is caused to come into contact with said adhesive element already adhered to the second film.

The invention relates to a material web drawing-in apparatus for drawing in a material web. The material web drawing-in apparatus comprises at least one material web holding device for holding the material web to be drawn in, and at least one guide for guiding the at least one material web holding device from a material web drawing-in point to a material web transfer point, and also at least one drawing-in drive which is in connection with the at least one material web holding device and which serves for displacing the at least one material web holding device along the at least one guide upon drawing in the material web to be drawn in in the direction of the material web transfer point.

The splicing device for splicing a trailing edge of a first web material to a leading edge of a second web material includes members defining a feed path of the web material. The device also includes a first cutting member and a second cutting member, cooperating with the first cutting member. One of the two cutting members is provided with a movement transverse to the feed path of the web material, to move the cutting member from an operating position, in which it is in front of the other cutting member, to an idle position, withdrawn with respect to the feed path of the web material.

A controller includes a shaft control unit that controls driving of a shaft drive source such that a standby side roll is rotated, and a unit control unit that presses a pressing roller against an outer peripheral surface of the standby side roll via a sheet of a supply side roll by performing torque control on a unit drive source in a state in which the pressing roller is positioned in an area from a control switching position to the outer peripheral surface of the standby side roll together with performing position control on the unit drive source in a state in which the pressing roller is positioned in an area farther away from the standby side roll than the control switching position away from the outer peripheral surface of the standby side roll by a preset distance while the standby side roll is rotated by the shaft control unit.
