Splicing device

A method for splicing material webs, comprising the following steps:

• dispensing a finite first material web from a first material web roll by means of a first dispensing device,
• dispensing a finite second material web from a second material web roll by means of a second dispensing device,
• dispensing a third material web by means of a third dispensing device, the third dispensing device being configured as an unwinding device,
• splicing the finite first material web and finite second material web to the endless material web by means of a first splicing device, wherein a first feed device of the first dispensing device feeds the finite first material web from the first material web roll to the first splicing device and a second feed device of the second dispensing device feeds the finite second material web from the second material web roll to the first splicing device and the first splicing device comprises at least one joining unit for splicing together the finite first material web and the finite second material web to comprise the endless material web, and
• splicing the third material web and the endless material web comprised of one of the group comprising the finite first material web and the finite second material web by a second splicing device, wherein a third feed device of the third dispensing device feeds the third material web from the third material web roll to the second splicing device and the second splicing device comprises at least one joining unit for splicing together the third material web and the endless material comprised of one of the group comprising the finite first material web and the finite second material web,
• feeding the endless material web to the second splicing device with a fourth feeding device, and
• outputting the endless material web at an output for the endless material web,
• wherein the first splicing device and the second splicing device are arranged at different heights.

A splicing facility for splicing material webs, the splicing facility comprising:

• a first dispensing device configured to dispense a finite first material web from a first material web roll;
• a second dispensing device configured to dispense a finite second material web from a second material web roll;
• a third dispensing device configured to dispense a third material web from a third material web roll, the third dispensing device being configured as an unwinding device unwinding the third material web from the third material web role to dispense the third material web;
• a first splicing device configured to splice together the finite first material web and the finite second material web, wherein the first dispensing device comprises a first feed device configured to feed the finite first material web from the first material web roll to the first splicing device and the second dispensing device comprises a second feed device configured to feed the finite second material web from the second material web roll to the first splicing device and the first splicing device comprises at least one joining unit for splicing together the finite first material web and the finite second material web to comprise an endless material web;
• a second splicing device, the first splicing device being arranged at a different height from the second splicing device, wherein the third dispensing device comprises a third feed device configured to feed the third material web from the third material web roll to the second splicing device and the second splicing device comprises at least one joining unit configured to splice together the third material web and the endless material web comprised of one of the group comprising the finite first material web and the finite second material web;
• a fourth feeding device configured to feed the endless material web to the second splicing device;
• and
• an outlet for output of the endless material web from the splicing facility.
