Abstract: The cutting machine for cutting logs of web material, includes a cutting head arranged along the feeding path of the logs. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes a store unit for disc-shaped cutting blades associated with the cutting head. A handling member is provided to remove a worn disc-shaped cutting blade from the cutting head and replace the worn disc-shaped cutting blade with a new disc-shaped cutting blade taken from the store unit.

Abstract: For bonding together two or more plies of cellulose fibers, the plies are fed to a lamination nip between a ply-bonding rotating element and an anvil element. The ply-bonding rotating element has rollers with a cylindrical surface provided with small protuberances co-acting with larger protuberances provided on a cylindrical surface of the anvil rotating element. The plies are bonded, if necessary with the aid of a functional fluid, not containing adhesive, due to the effect of the pressure between the protuberances.

The tail end unwinding, positioning and sealing station includes an aperture that extends downwards from an inlet under the log advancing path. At least a first Coanda effect nozzle is placed at the inlet of the aperture, to generate a flow of air adapted to draw into the aperture the tail end of a log that is in the tail end unwinding, positioning and sealing station.

Abstract: The folding roller includes a rotation axis and at least a gripping member extending longitudinally along the folding roller, controlled by at least a piezoelectric actuator. The piezoelectric actuator causes a pivoting movement of the gripping member about its pivoting axis parallel to the rotation axis of the folding roller.

Abstract: The interfolding machine includes a first interfolding roller rotating around a first rotation axis and a second interfolding roller rotating around a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis; wherein the first interfolding roller and the second interfolding roller form an interfolding nip therebetween. The interfolding machine further includes a first set of separation fingers associated with the first interfolding roller and arranged for reciprocatingly pivoting around a first pivoting axis parallel to the first rotation axis. The reciprocating pivoting movement of the first set of separation fingers is controlled by a first actuation mechanism including a first desmodromic cam. The interfolding machine also includes a second set of separation fingers associated with the second interfolding roller and arranged for reciprocatingly pivoting around a second pivoting axis parallel to the second rotation axis.

Abstract: The machine includes a feeding path for the logs to be cut and a cutting head arranged along the feeding path. The cutting head includes a coupling for a disc-shaped cutting blade and is designed to impart the disc-shaped cutting blade a rotary motion around the axis thereof and a cyclic movement to cut the logs into single rolls, and to allow the logs to move forward along the feeding path. The machine also includes at least a grinding unit, including at least one grinding wheel mounted onto a rotation shaft and co-acting with a side of the disc-shaped cutting blade to grind the cutting edge of the same disc-shaped cutting blade. A controlled approach system is also provided to move the grinding wheel towards the disc-shaped cutting blade.

Abstract: The machine includes a first winding roller and a concave plate extending around the first winding roller. The first winding roller and the concave plate define a feed channel of the web material. Upstream of the concave plate there is arranged a moving member including a pinching surface cooperating with the first winding roller to pinch the web material against the first winding roller. The moving member is arranged and controlled to pinch the web material against the surface of the first winding roller and decelerate the web material between the moving member and the surface of the first winding roller, causing a leading edge to wind around itself to form a winding nucleus of a log.
