Abstract: A folding and stacking machine of a web of paper has first and second feed lines. The machine also has a folding section with folding rollers having a linear folding speed, VP. The folding rollers are adapted to receive a plurality of sheets of length L that can overlap each other for a fraction Y of their length L and to fold them into a plurality of panels P. The machine also has rollers adapted to feed at the folding speed VP the series of cut sheets but not yet folded towards the folding rollers. The rollers are located at the confluence of the two sheet feeding lines. Upstream of the first and feed lines a single cutting section is provided to cut a web of paper that proceeds along a direction of movement at a speed V(1).

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical coherence tomography, in which a light source and an optical linear beam forming system are adopted to obtain two dimensional image of high quality resolution within short time without affection by any mechanical movements. For such purpose, the optical linear beam forming system (20) comprises semicy Under lens (21), convex lens (22) and slit (23) to implement the frequency domain optical coherence tomography. Parallel light beam from the light source is incident on the surface of the semicylinder lens (21), and focal line of the semicylinder lens (21) is located in front of the convex lens (22). The convex lens (22) has short focal point where the parallel light component converges and long focal point where the diverging light component converges. The slit (23) is located between the short focal point and the long focal point.

Abstract: A paper converting or rewinding machine provides a cutting or perforation section, equipped with at least one blade arranged to work in combination with a stationary knife to provide the division of the web of paper into a plurality of sheets of measured length. The blade can be integral to a fixed support, or alternatively to a cutting roller that rotates about a longitudinal rotation axis. The blade(s) can be a perforation blade, or a cutting blade, with helical shape, and mounted to a perforation roller. The stationary knife can be mounted to a fixed roller. The blade performs a cutting, or perforation, of the web into sheets working in combination with the stationary knife. The blades and the stationary knifes are long substantially as the width of the paper. In particular, the blade has at least one weakened portion of determined size.

Abstract: Transversal cutting machine comprises feeding means (20) that supply a log of paper (15), for example hygienic paper, to a sawing station at which rolls or stacks (16) are cut off from the log (15) by a blade (25). During the cutting step the log (15) is held by a clamping device (1), divided in two parts (2, 3) arranged respectively upstream from and downstream of a slit (17) through which the blade (25) passes. In particular, the first part (2) and the second part (3) of clamping device (1) are movable relatively so that during the cut the log (15) is locally subject to traction at the same time of the blade (25) driven in the log. This way, during the cutting action of the blade (25) an opening (17) is created on the log (15) having a size at least the same as the thickness of blade (25) same. This makes easier the action of blade (25) since it reduces the friction produced between the blade (25) and the log (15).

Abstract: A method for separating two consecutive interfolded sheets, during the production of packages of paper products, even if there is present at least one tear-off line or “tab bond”. The sheets are fed in an interfolded way from interfolding rollers on a table by means of suitable folding arms. At a predetermined height of the stack a first plurality of separators, arranged along the length of the stack and at opposite sides with respect to it, are inserted in the same stack. This introduction divides the formed stack from the growing stack. Between the separators and the table a side of a sheet stretching board is introduced. The formed stack is then arranged between the table and the sheet stretching board. These are lowered vertically and move away from each other autonomously from the separators up to cause the disengagement of the growing stack from the formed stack.
