Abstract
A cutting and transport roller for material webs includes media outlet openings in its peripheral surface to which varying pressure can be applied to control the seating pattern of the material web on the peripheral surface of the roller. The roller has a system of pressure feed lines by which the media outlet openings are connected to means for supplying the media. The roller has at least one pressure reservoir that is a part of the pressure feed line system and that can be connected by a valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings.
Claims11
A cutting and transport roller for a material web, comprising:
- media outlet openings for media in a peripheral surface of the roller to which a varying pressure is applied to control a seating pattern of the material web on the roller peripheral surface;
- a system of pressure feed lines configured to supply the media outlet openings with the media;
- and
- separate first and second pressure reservoirs arranged axially end to end and disposed within the roller, each of the pressure reservoirs being (i) a part of the pressure feed line system, (ii) connected by a corresponding valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings, and (iii) arranged such that a principal inertial axis of the first and the second pressure reservoir coincides with an axis of rotation of the roller,
- with the first pressure reservoir being configured for low pressure media and the second pressure reservoir being configured for high pressure media.
A process for controlling a seating pattern of a material web on a peripheral surface of a cutting and transport roller, comprising
- intermittently supplying via a pressure line system media of varying pressure to media outlet openings in the peripheral surface of the roller so as to selectively lift off or lay down the material web on the peripheral surface, the pressure line system including separate first and second pressure reservoirs arranged axially end to end and disposed within the roller, each of which is connected by a corresponding valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings and is arranged such that a principal inertial axis of the pressure reservoir coincides with an axis of rotation of the roller, with the first pressure reservoir being configured for low pressure media and the second pressure reservoir being configured for high pressure media,
- the step of supplying the pressure including developing a static pressure in the pressure line system and applying the developed pressure to the media outlet openings by opening of the valves.
A cutting and transport roller for a material web, comprising:
- media outlet openings for media in a peripheral surface of a wall of the roller to which a varying pressure is applied to control a seating pattern of the material web on the roller peripheral surface;
- a system of pressure feed lines configured to supply the media outlet openings with the media;
- and
- separate first and second pressure reservoirs, with no fluid communication therebetween, arranged axially end to end and disposed within the roller, with a wall of each of the first and second pressure reservoirs being independent of the wall of the roller, and each of the pressure reservoirs being (i) a part of the pressure feed line system, (ii) connected by a corresponding valve to at least one part of the media outlet openings, and (iii) arranged such that a principal inertial axis of the first and the second pressure reservoir coincides with an axis of rotation of the roller,
- with the first pressure reservoir being configured for low pressure media and the second pressure reservoir being configured for high pressure media such that either of the low pressure media and the high pressure media is available on demand to the media outlet openings.
