Splicer assembly

A splicer assembly for splicing material webs, the splicer assembly comprising:

• a first dispensing device for dispensing a finite first material web;
• a second dispensing device for dispensing a finite second material web;
• a connecting device for connecting the finite first material web and the finite second material web so as to form an endless material web;
• and
• a material web threading assistance assembly for assisted threading of one of the finite first material web and the finite second material web into the splicer assembly in a threading procedure, wherein the material web threading assistance assembly comprises at least one conveying installation for conveying the finite material web to be threaded in a threading direction in the threading procedure, and the material web threading assistance assembly further comprises a conveying installation drive installation for driving the at least one conveying installation in the threading procedure, wherein when traction is applied to the threaded finite material web in the threading direction downstream of the material web threading assistance assembly in terms of the threaded finite material web, the at least one conveying installation conveys the threaded finite material web in the threading direction, wherein when insufficient traction is applied to the threaded finite material web in the threading direction downstream of the material web threading assistance assembly in terms of the threaded finite material web, a conveyance of the threaded finite material web by the at least one conveying installation in the threading direction is omitted, wherein when traction is applied to the threaded finite material web in the threading direction downstream of the material web threading assistance assembly in terms of the threaded finite material web, the threaded finite material web at least in regions bears on the at least one conveying installation and via a friction force present between the threaded finite material web and the at least one conveying installation is conveyed in the threading direction, wherein when insufficient traction is applied to the threaded finite material web in the threading direction downstream of the material web threading assistance assembly in terms of the threaded finite material web, slippage arises between the threaded finite material web and the at least one conveying installation, wherein the friction force between the threaded finite material web and the at least one conveying installation in the case of insufficient traction acting on the threaded finite material web is less than in the case of tensile force being exerted.
