Abstract
A sensor assembly configured to detect rolled stock on a core includes a sensor configured to detect a first roll of stock unwinding from a core, the stock unwinding from the core of the first roll is supplied as a web of stock, wherein in response to the sensor detecting a first detection configuration, the sensor takes no action and continues to detect the first roll, and wherein in response to the sensor detecting a second detection configuration, the sensor provides a command to a splice assembly to transition to a second roll of stock to replace the first roll of stock.
Claims18
A sensor assembly configured to detect rolled stock on a core comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a first roll of stock unwinding from a core, the stock unwinding from the core of the first roll is supplied as a web of stock,
- wherein in response to the sensor detecting a first detection configuration, the sensor takes no action and continues to detect the first roll,
- wherein in response to the sensor detecting a second detection configuration, the sensor provides a command to a splice assembly to transition to a second roll of stock to replace the first roll of stock, and
- wherein the first detection configuration includes detecting the stock on the core and the second detection configuration includes detecting the core.
