The present disclosure relates to a transition method and system from helical winding to hoop winding of composite fibers. The method includes: setting a slip coefficient, and performing iterative calculation forward from an iteration starting point according to an equation set of a winding angle and a center angle of rotation to obtain a winding angle at an iteration termination point; and if the winding angle at the iteration termination point is greater than a first preset angle, adjusting the slip coefficient corresponding to a cylinder body according to the first preset angle, extending a length of a helical winding transition section to a front equator, and starting the hoop winding at the front equator at the first preset angle to complete planning of the helical winding transition section.

A conveyance apparatus for conveying a sheet includes (i) a first conveyance roller pair, (ii) a second conveyance roller pair configured to convey the sheet to reach a position where the sheet contacts the first conveyance roller pair, (iii) a moving member movable between a restricting position where the sheet is regulated not to reach the first conveyance roller pair and a retracting position, to be moved to the retracting position from the restricting position by being pushed by the sheet, (iv) a first guide disposed between the moving member and the second conveyance roller pair, and (v) a first opposing guide opposing the first guide. One of the first guide and the first opposing guide includes a first curved portion which the sheet contacts, and the other one thereof includes a second curved portion which the sheet contacts.

The invention relates to a tape element dispenser system containing a container having an opening and is configured to enclose a volume. The system also contains a single elongated tape element having a width and a height where the width is at least 5 times the height. The tape element has two ends rotationally wound in a first direction into a hollow cylinder having a central axis, the hollow having two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the central axis and the single elongated element is unwound from the hollow cylinder from one of the annular bases approximately parallel to the central axis. The single elongated element has a twist in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The opening of the container comprises a main slit having a width of at least about 105% the width of the single elongated tape element.

An apparatus and method for stretch wrapping of a palletized load uses film tension feedback derived from a film tension control load cell to control film dispensation. The load cell measures film tension and the film payout rates is determined by the film tension. Film tension values are used to determine when an out of bounds condition occurs, namely, when a film break has occurred, or when a possible film break is about to occur or when the film has been cut at the end of a wrapping cycle. To prevent film free end entanglement caused by a break, clamps engage the film so the film tail is controlled, eliminating the risk of recoil. The broken film tail may then be quickly and reliably reattached to the rotating load in a desired position.

A rapid reaction hood system includes at least one linear conveyor and a hood attached to the at least one conveyor and including a slot configured to collect dust emissions. The rapid reaction hood system also includes at least one proximity sensor positioned on the hood and configured to detect a distance from the hood to a roll of material. The conveyor is configured to move the hood linearly in response to a detection by the at least one proximity sensor.

The present invention provides a non-contact vibration suppression device comprising a first ultrasonic vibration unit and a second ultrasonic vibration unit, the device being characterized in that the first ultrasonic vibration unit and the second ultrasonic vibration unit are installed to face each other while being spaced from each other such that an object can be interposed therebetween, the first ultrasonic vibration unit and the second ultrasonic vibration unit generate ultrasonic vibrations, respectively, and apply repulsive forces, which result from the ultrasonic vibrations, to the object such that the object is constrained with no contact between the first ultrasonic vibration unit and the second ultrasonic vibration unit, thereby suppressing vibration of the object. In addition, the present invention provides an object processing method characterized by comprising the steps of: suppressing vibration of the object using the non-contact vibration suppression device; and processing the object, vibration of which has been suppressed.
