Abstract

Banespolingsanordning (90) og fremgangsmåte for drift av anordningen, som kan omfatte en dreiehodeenhet (200), en kjernepåføringsanordning (1000) og en kjerne- fjernelsesanordning (2000). Dreiehodeenheten (200) holder dorer (300) som kan drives i rotasjon og som kan tilkobles hule kjerner (302) som en papirbane (50) spoles på. Hver dor (300) drives i en lukket bane (320), som kan være ikke-sirkulær. Kjernepåførings- anordningen (1000) bringer kjerner (302) til dorene (300) under bevegelse av dorene (300) langs kjemepåføringssegmentet (322) av den lukkede dorbanen (320), og kjernefjernelsesanordningen (2000) fjerner hver kjerne (302, 51) med påspolet bane fra den tilhørende doren (300) under bevegelse av doren (200) langs kjernefjernelses- segmentet (326) av den lukkede dorbanen (320). Dreiehodeenheten (200) kan rotere kontinuerlig, og antall lag i hver spolet rull (51) kan endres mens dreiehodeenheten (200) roterer. Anordningen (90) kan også omfatte en dor (300) som har et deformerbart kjernekontaktelement (3100).Pathwinding device (90) and method of operating the device, which may include a pivot head assembly (200), a core application device (1000), and a core removal device (2000). The swivel head assembly (200) holds rotor-driven mandrels (300) which can be connected to hollow cores (302) on which a paper web (50) is wound. Each door (300) is operated in a closed path (320) which may be non-circular. The core application device (1000) brings cores (302) to the mandrels (300) while moving the mandrels (300) along the core application segment (322) of the closed mandrel path (320), and the core removal device (2000) removes each core (302, 51) by coiled web from the associated door (300) during movement of the door (200) along the core removal segment (326) of the closed door web (320). The swivel head assembly (200) can rotate continuously and the number of layers in each spooled roller (51) can be changed as the swivel head assembly (200) rotates. The device (90) may also comprise a mandrel (300) having a deformable core contact element (3100).
