  • Patent number: 10526101
    Abstract: A bag filling plant includes a detection device for detecting a thickened section of a film web associated with an end of a first film and a start of a second film. The detection device includes a first film roll and a second film roll, which contact the film web on side areas aligned opposite each other and which form a conveyer gap for the film web, with the first film roll being movably supported relative to the second film roll in order to alter the conveyer gap. The detection device includes a sensor device that detects a motion of the first conveyer roll.

  • Publication number: 20060249620
    Abstract: A method for controlling and/or monitoring a web-processing machine (1) is introduced, wherein at least one web (5) of the web-processing machine (1) is unwound from the roll (12) of an unwinding device and is supplied to the machine (1), wherein the point in time (T) at which the web end on the roll is reached is determined and control signals are emitted depending on this point in time (T). The novelty and inventive step of the invention is that the angular speed (?) of the roll (12) and the speed (v) of the web (5) are recorded and that the point in time (T) is determined taking both these variables (v, ?) into consideration. A device (1) for implementing the method is also described and forms the subject of the patent request.
