  • Patent number: 11960992
    Abstract: A winding condition generating apparatus includes: an input unit; an output unit; and a condition calculation unit. A winding condition calculation unit includes a learning model created by machine learning using a combination of a winding parameter and a winding condition in producing a wound web that satisfies a target winding quality as training data, and calculates a winding condition of a new wound web using the learning model, from a winding parameter of a new wound web input through the input unit. The output unit outputs the winding condition. The winding parameter includes a web width, a web transport velocity, and a web winding length. The winding condition includes a tension of the web at the start of winding and a tension of the web at the end of winding.

  • Patent number: 7597282
    Abstract: A drum support arm supports a cutting drum with a sector cross section and a receiving drum with a circular cross section, and moves between a web winding changeover position for causing the receiving drum to contact a core and a spacing position for keeping the receiving drum away from the core. The guide roller moves between an approaching position for lifting a web from the receiving drum and a retracted position for causing the web contact a peripheral surface of the receiving drum. When the drum support arm moves to the web winding changeover position, the guide roller moves to the retracted position, and when the drum support arm moves to the spacing position, the guide roller moves to the approaching position. When the drum support arm is set to the web winding changeover position, the cutting drum rotates once to cut the web. A front end of the web formed by cutting is pressed against the core by the receiving drum and wound around the periphery of the core.
