  • Process for loading a processing machine having a fine centering step and apparatus for this purpose
    Patent number: 5482225
    Abstract: An unwinding station in which a coil of band-like material is unwound with a vertical axis, i.e. lying in a horizontal plane, is provided for loading a processing machine with the band-like material from the coil. Consequently, the band taken off from it is in a vertical plane and, for insertion into a processing machine, must be turned in a turning zone. A centering device is provided for centering the band with respect to the central axis of the processing machine, in order to avoid internal stresses in the band before the band is turned.
