20130056576 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING DISPOSABLE PRODUCTS AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH SMALL MACHINE FOOTPRINT - The present invention provides machinery used to create products (for instance disposable products). The machinery is operated at high speed, with the machine occupying a small footprint. Materials can be fed into the manufacturing process vertically (from above or below), using assembly stations to feed completed components into the system at appropriate stations. Additionally, restocking of raw components can be accomplished by robotic means of transferring the raw material from staging areas into infeeding or splicing stations, without the need for human operators. | 03-07-2013 |
20130063587 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MINIMIZING WASTE AND IMPROVING QUALITY AND PRODUCTION IN WEB PROCESSING OPERATIONS BY AUTOMATIC NARROW WEB TWIST DEFECT CORRECTION - Apparatus and methods are provided to minimize waste and improve quality and production in web processing operations. The apparatus and methods provide defect detection in deposition of acquisition material, which on current machines frequently flips and is difficult to detect when it has flipped causing manufacturers to scrap thousands of products. Using the present invention, defects are able to be detected by discerning a difference in the appearance from side to side with a vision camera, and an acquisition inverter can flip the material to a correct orientation. | 03-14-2013 |
