Abstract
The present invention relates to an automatic splicer for the continuous supply of laminar strips, comprising a reel holder for incorporating two reels that can be positioned alternately in a feed position for feeding to an application process and in a standby position, there being above the reel holder a guide rail on which a splicer head that can move in a movement projected towards a splicing zone is mounted, carrying the laminar strip of a reel arranged in standby for splicing it with the laminar strip of the feed reel during a joint movement of said laminar strips.
Claims7
An automatic splicer for the continuous supply of laminar strips, comprising a reel holder which allows incorporating two reels that can be positioned alternately in a feed position for feeding to an application process, a loading position for loading a new reel and in a standby position to continue the feeding when the feed reel runs out, the supply passing to the application process through a variable-path storage which allows keeping the supply to the application process constant during the splicing of the laminar strips of the reels, there being above the reel holder a guide rail on which there is mounted a moveable splicer head, wherein the splicer head can move in synchronized movement projected from a standby zone to a splicing zone in which said splicer head passes between a lower support and ramps located in the upper portion, automatically splicing in said passage the laminar strips coming from the reels during a joint movement of both laminar strips at a certain speed, but without relative movement between them, the splicer head moving at a speed slightly greater than that of the laminar strips.
