The disclosure relates to an electronic component packing reel for a tape and reel packaging system and the electronic components are supported in pockets of a carrier tape wound around the reel, the packing reel includes: a central hub; two wall elements attached on both sides of the centrale hub defining a retaining space for retaining the carrier tape wound around the central hub; a hub insert arranged for placement of the hub insert over the central hub, the hub insert having an outer rim diameter for increasing a diameter of the central hub, and the hub insert includes at least two sections having mating locking means for interlocking the sections upon placement of the hub insert over the central hub.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (“pre-print”), are provided herein. Efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated. A reel editor is configured to edit the roll based on waste and/or errors that occurred during various manufacturing processes (e.g., during printing). A control plan defining what is on each roll of printed web product may be updated after editing. Depending on the configuration, the reel editor may be integrated with various manufacturing components. The reel editor may be configured to determine if there is enough waste on the roll to even making editing worthwhile, such as based on desired quality of the images, customer requirements, different price points, among other possible factors.

A system, method, and material for encouraging study or mastery of a fibre art skill is provided. A fibre source material is incentivized to encourage individuals learning or mastering a fibre art skill by concealing a tracker in the fibre material or attaching it to the packaging of the fibre material. The tracker may be a coupon, token, or ticket that reveals a code, number, or some other form of identifier associated with an incentive. The tracker is revealed upon unwinding the fibre material while performing the fibre art skill, which allows the individual to exchange the revealed tracker for an incentive at, for example, a specific store, online, or through some other specified manner

A spool includes a tube for winding a material. The outer surface of the tube is provided with a step portion along the axial direction thereof. The step portion is as high as the thickness of the material. A cutting groove is provided on a side, close to the axial centre of the tube, of the step portion. A resilient clip for clamping the material is fixed in the cutting groove, the upper end of the resilient clip is connected to a notch on one side of the cutting groove, and the lower end thereof is inclined towards the other side of the cutting groove. The spool positions a cutter by means of the cutting groove, and the resilient clip clamps the cut material in the cutting groove.

A fiber coil mounting device is used in automated composite material layup equipment. The fiber coil mounting device includes a fiber coil mounting shaft with axial hollow structure, a fiber stop plate disposed on two sides of the fiber coil mounting shaft, and an anti-slide fiber coil tightening mechanism. The anti-slide fiber coil tightening mechanism includes a piston assembly disposed inside the axial hollow structure, a spring piece disposed on the piston assembly, a driving unit controlling an axial slide of the piston assembly, and a tightening unit driven by an axial force produced by the spring piece during the axial slide of the piston assembly.

This invention relates to a creel structure integrated on the fiber placement head of the automated placement equipment, comprising: fiber placement head mounting base, fixed yarn box component fixed and mounted on fiber placement head mounting base, and revolving yarn box component mounted on fiber placement head mounting base, the said revolving yarn box component is coupled with the fiber placement head mounting base through revolving shaft. This creel structure can avoid intervention that arise due to equipment maintenance and spindle replacement, making equipment maintenance and spindle replacement more convenient and swift.

A fabric roll is produced by winding a fabric (4) around at least two reels, that are coaxially aligned, spaced from each other, and have a total length (L) that is less than the width (Wr) of said fabric roll (11).
