US 11,884,499 B1 · Apparatus and methods for variable width turn-up procedures on a paper processing machine

Abstract

Apparatus for variable width turn-up procedures on a paper processing machine. The apparatus may include a turn-up tape dispenser fixedly attached to a proximal end of a transverse track and movable with the transverse track along the first linear bearing. A movable turn-up tape exit point may be mounted to a second linear bearing. The second linear bearing may be independent of the transverse track or attached to the transverse track. The apparatus may include a brake operable to secure the transverse track in a position relative to the surface of the first spool. Furthermore, the apparatus may include a movable track curve that allows a placement of the track curve to be moved.
