  • Patent number: 11975934
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device (20) for winding a longitudinally cut material web having multiple longitudinal strips (12) on a plurality of winding tubes (16) to form in each case a wound roll. The device comprises an axle (24) and, mounted on the axle, a plurality of ring-shaped winding drives (22) that are individually controllable in their operating position. Each winding drive (22) forms an external-rotor electric motor and comprises a static interior tube (40) and a rotatable external tube (50). The external tube (50) that is rotatable on the rolling bearings (48) bears, on its interior, a device for providing an excitation magnetic field (52) that forms the external rotor of the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 7202492
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a substantially longitudinally extending feature of a running material web, especially the side edge of the web or an applied marker line, comprises a plurality of individually addressable light sources (22-1, to, 22-n) for illuminating, in one of multiple different lighting configurations, a section of the material web (10) containing the feature (12) to be detected; a spatially resolving detection unit (24) for recording the light emitted by the illuminated section as an optical response and for transmitting to an analysis unit (30) a data signal corresponding to the recorded light; an analysis unit (30) for determining, from the transmitted data signal, one or more characteristic parameters of the feature (12) to be detected; and a selection unit (32) for automatically selecting an optimal lighting configuration, which unit is arranged and adapted to address the light sources (22-1, to, 22-n) in different lighting configurations, to rate according to a pre-selected criterion the
