Abstract: In paper winding, separate rolls are formed side by side around roll cores (10a, 10b) placed one after the other while supported by support members. The cores are pressed at their ends against one another by core chucks (20) arranged in connection with the free ends of the outermost roll cores (10a, 10b). The roll cores (10a, 10b) are placed in a desired position and subjected to a desired compression force by the core chucks (20), the length of the row of roll cores (10a, 10b) is determined, and the compression force of at least one core chuck (20) is regulated during winding when the length of the roll core row changes to keep the compression force and/or the length of the roll core row within desired limits.

Abstract: A web is wound onto a core (21) while supported by winding drums (11, 12). The web is cut by a cutting device (19), and a finished web roll (10) is removed by a transfer device (16). A new core (21) is moved to a space between the winding drums (11, 12), and the winding is stopped to remove the finished roll (10) and to start a new roll. The core is moved onto support of one winding drum and a support member (22) and held in place by the support member (22) until the movable winding drum (11, 12) has been moved to the starting position of winding.

Abstract: When the setting of a web slitter winder blades (41, 42) is changed during slitting in order to slit component webs (Wo) of different widths, the width of the edge trimming formed changes and an untrimmed neck remains between the edge trimmings of different widths. A cutting apparatus (50) makes a cut between the slitting line of an edge trimming according to an old blade setting and the slitting line of an edge trimming according to a new blade setting controlled by a control system (59).
