BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing a predetermined process on a web after inspecting and treating web defects such as film and paper.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, it has been widely performed to perform various processes such as coating, printing, and laminating on various webs. For example, in the wallpaper manufacturing process, the base web (paper) is coated with foamed urethane, foamed PVC, etc., and in the adhesive tape manufacturing process, the base web (craft paper, etc.) is coated. The adhesive is being applied. Moreover, in the manufacturing process of a vapor deposition film, vapor deposition is performed with respect to the web (film) of a base material, and also primer coating is performed with respect to the web after vapor deposition.
[0003]
When such a process is performed on the web, the product is normally inspected after the process, and if there is a defect, such a part is removed or a mark is added. By the way, among the defects existing in the product, there may be defects such as foreign matter adhesion, dirt, wrinkles, holes, cuts, etc. on the web before processing. In this way, when there is a defect in the web before processing, a predetermined process such as coating is applied to the defective part, and then a removal process is performed. There is a problem that it is wasted and particularly uneconomical when an expensive material (for example, an expensive coating agent) is used for processing. In addition, when there are defects such as holes or cuts penetrating the web, if the web is coated or printed from one side, the coating agent or ink leaks to the opposite side of the web, and the web is wide. There was also a problem of causing trouble that not only the range was stained but also the web conveying roller.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is conceivable to inspect the web before performing the processing on the web, and if there is a defect, remove or repair the defect. In order to perform such inspections and treatments, there are conventionally known devices that detect a defect by rewinding the web from the winding, so that such a device is used to detect the defect while rewinding the web before processing. Then, the inspected web is set in another rewinding machine and the web is rewound again, and the defect is found based on the defect information detected in the middle, and the defect is removed or What is necessary is just to perform operation | movement of performing treatments, such as repair (2nd process).
[0005]
However, when inspecting and treating web defects by this method, the defect inspection and defect treatment are performed in two steps, so that the number of steps is increased and winding of the defect inspected is performed. There arises a problem that a work for setting in a rewinding machine is required. In addition, it is also necessary to transport and mount the treated winding this time on a device for processing such as coating. For this reason, a lot of handling work such as attachment / detachment work for winding and rewinding machine, processing apparatus, etc. and transportation work between the apparatuses is required, which causes a problem that much labor and time are required.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and prior to performing coating, printing, and other processing on the web, it is possible to efficiently perform web defect inspection and treatment, and to perform winding processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a web inspection and processing method capable of reducing handling operations such as attachment / detachment and transportation to / from an apparatus and an apparatus used therefor.
[0007]

Push. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the first rotation shaft 31 and the second rotation shaft 36 rotate to bring the first suction plate 24 and the second suction plate 25 to positions facing each other via the web 1. Then, the cylinder mechanism 34 operates to push out the first suction plate 24, and the web 1 is pressed against the second suction plate 25 by the first suction plate 24 as shown in FIG. As a result, the tapes 23 and 23 held on the first suction plate 24 and the second suction plate 25 are pressed from both sides of the web 1 and are attached to both sides of the web 1 as shown in FIG. The defect 22 is concealed, and if the defect 22 is a hole or notch, it is closed. Further, when the defect is large and cannot be covered with the tape 23, the operator manually cuts and removes the defective area of the web 1 and joins the webs before and after that.
[0026]
After performing the defect treatment as described above, the web inspection operation is started again. That is, the web 1 is run in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, and the web 1 is wound on the winding 1 </ b> B of the second unwinding / winding device 3 while inspecting the web 1 for defects. Thereafter, by the same operation, the substantially entire length of the web 1 of the winding 1A set in the first unwinding / winding device 2 (the total length excluding the region that does not become a product near the winding core of the winding 1A) is inspected. The inspection and treatment process is completed by winding as the winding 1B. Even at the end of this operation, the web 1 is kept on the web travel path between the first unwinding / winding device 2 and the second unwinding / winding device 3.
[0027]
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the impression cylinder 15 in the processing region 13 is lowered to an operating position where the web 1 is pressed against the plate cylinder 14, and in this state, the web 1 is wound by the second unwinding and winding device 3. Unwinding from the take-up 1B, traveling in the direction of arrow B toward the first unwinding / winding device 2, and winding up so that the first unwinding / winding device 2 forms the take-up 1A. While the web 1 is traveling in the arrow B direction, a predetermined process (coating, printing, etc.) is performed on the web 1 in the processing area 13. In this way, the web 1 is rewound from the winding 1B of the web 1 that has been previously inspected and treated for defects in the web 1, and the web 1 is subjected to a predetermined treatment. 1 has no defects such as holes and cuts that cause trouble in the processing of the web 1 (because it is repaired with the tape 23), and therefore the processing of the web 1 can be performed continuously. Further, since it is not necessary to attach / detach or transport the winding 1B taken up by the second winding / winding device 3, the web 1 can be immediately unwound from the winding 1B and the processing operation can be started. it can. In this processing operation as well, the inspection device 8 can be operated as necessary to detect defects in the web 1 and defects generated during processing such as coating and printing on the web 1 can be detected.
[0028]
As described above, the web 1 is wound around the first unwinding / winding device 2 as the winding 1A while performing a predetermined process, and when the winding of the web 1 is completed, the machine is Stop. At this time as well, in order to facilitate the threading of the machine during the next operation, the web is kept in the web travel path in the machine. Then, the winding 1A is removed. By the above operation, inspection and treatment of defects for winding, coating, and printing can be performed more efficiently.
