Abstract:
Described is a unit or apparatus (200) for the control or management of products, in particular rolls, is preferably usable in a plant for making the products (11), in particular defined by rolls (111) of paper material, the plant (10) preferably comprising at least one operating line including at least one upstream section (1) for making the articles, in particular in the form of a log saw for cutting rolls off respective elongate logs, at least one respective packaging section (2), in particular for primary packaging, preferably in the form of a packing section where the articles or rolls are packed and preferably at least one or more further packaging sections, in particular in the form of at least one bagging section (3) where the packs are placed in bags and/or one palletizing section (4) where the packs or bags are placed on pallets; the plant comprising a conveying section (5), or means, by which the products are transported between one section of the plant and another, in particular between the means (1) which make the articles and the respective packaging section (2) and/or between one packaging section and another downstream; the plant being provided with process control means for controlling the functioning of the plant sections. The unit comprises means (221) for eliminating the respective product or roll, in particular a defective product or roll (111).
Abstract:
A unit (300) for the control or management of products, in particular packs, is preferably usable in a plant for making respective articles (11), in particular defined by rolls (111) of paper material, the plant (10) preferably comprising at least one operating line including at least one upstream section (1) for making the articles, in particular in the form of a log saw for cutting rolls off respective elongate logs, at least one respective packaging section (2), in particular for primary packaging, preferably in the form of a packing section where the articles or rolls are packed and preferably at least one or more further packaging sections, in particular in the form of at least one bagging section (3) where the packs are placed in bags and/or one palletizing section (4) where the packs or bags are placed on pallets; the plant comprising a conveying section (5), or means, by which the products are transported between one section of the plant and another, in particular between the means (1) which make the articles and the respective packaging section (2) and/or between one packaging section and another downstream; the plant being provided with process control means for controlling the functioning of the plant sections. The unit comprises means for detecting and/or lighting a respective face of the product or pack and which are adapted to produce different images of the respective product face, in particular which exhibit different states of reflection of the light that is incident upon the respective product face.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and device for aligning rolls (22) in a feed system (10). The rolls (22) are spaced at regular intervals so as to enable incorrectly positioned rolls (22) to be turned to the correct feed position, when necessary, while they are moving forward. The correct position of each roll (22) is identified by detecting (S1, S2) the longitudinal hole (17) through the centre of the roll (22).
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for conveying items (P), comprising a line for transporting said items (P) from a machine (12) for working said items situated upstream, which advances and transfers to the line (15) said items (P) at a predetermined speed (V0), to a utilisation situated downstream. At least in the initial part (15') of said conveying line downstream of said working machine (12), the speed of advance (V1) of said items is maintained substantially equal to the speed of advance and transfer (V0) of said working machine situated upstream (12). It is further provided that, in order to carry longitudinally said items from said upstream machine to said downstream machine, said items are advanced in longitudinal groups or trains of items, such that, in each group or train of items, said items are longitudinally approached to each other.
