Abstract

The invention relates to a receiving means (200) for receiving film material (250) for use in a winding machine (IO), wherein the receiving means (200) comprises at least one bearing region (210) for attaching the receiving means (200) to a winding unit (20) of the winding machine (IO) and comprises a wall (220) having an outer surface region (230), wherein the wall (220) is designed in such a way that the surface region (230) can be placed onto a transport device (30) of the winding machine (10) and the film material (250) can be received onto the surface region (230).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Receiving means for receiving film material for the use in a winding machine, wherein:
the receiving means has at least one bearing region for mounting the receiving means to the winding unit of the winding machine, a wall with an outer surface region, and an outer adhesive means layer at least partially covering the outer surface region of the wall, wherein the outer surface region of the wall is placeable on a winding machine and the film material is receivable on the outer surface region;
wherein the outer adhesive means layer is configured to contact the film material, wherein the outer adhesive means layer has an average thickness of at least 100 μm and at most 700 μm to maintain the structure of the outer surface region at least during or after the placement on the transport device as far as possible, wherein the outer adhesive means layer is configured without adhesive tape.

2. Receiving means according to claim 1 , wherein the average thickness of the adhesive means layer is at most 100 μm or 700 μm or 300 μm.

3. Receiving means according to claim 1 ,
wherein the receiving means is configured as a sleeve, wherein the wall has a bearing region on the inner side and a surface region on the outer side, comprises to at least 40% or 70% or 90% of a surface area of an adhesive means layer.

4. Method for the implementation of an automated change of a roller for a winding machine with a transport device for transporting film material, comprising the following steps, which are performed in any order:
A. Mounting of at least one receiving means at a winding unit,
B. Automatized preparation of the receiving means with an adhesive means, by at least one application device, wherein the prepared receiving means is particularly free from adhesive tape, wherein the adhesive means has an average thickness of at least 100 μm and at most 700 μm,
C. Application of the prepared receiving means prepared with the adhesive means to the transport device such that the prepared receiving means is in direct contact with the transport device in order to enable an acceptance of the film material from the prepared receiving means.

5. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein during or after step C, the film material, is winded up mainly without flipping over by the prepared receiving means.

6. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the application of the prepared receiving means according to step C occurs directly to the transport device.

7. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the application of the prepared receiving means to the transport device, occurs according to step C mainly contactless to the film material.

8. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the application of the prepared receiving means to the transport device according to step C occurs only by contacting a contact region of the film material in which the film material abuts to the transport device.

9. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the preparation of the prepared receiving means occurs as a large, application of the adhesive means, of the prepared receiving means.

10. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein according to step B for preparing an application of the adhesive means occurs in that only a preparation area comprises at least an adhesive layer or an edge region is left out during application.

11. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein according to step B for preparing an application of the adhesive means as an adhesive pattern occurs.

12. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein according to step B for preparing an application of the adhesive means by an application head of the application device occurs with a spraying pressure of at least 0,2 bar or at least 0,4 bar or at least 0,8 bar.

13. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein according to step B for preparing an application of the adhesive means occurs such that air is provided to the adhesive means.

14. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein with step B a rotation of the receiving means by the winding unit occurs.

15. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein during the application of the prepared receiving means to the transport device according to step C, the film material contacts the surface of the transport device.

16. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein a first receiving means is mounted to a first winding unit for the acceptance of the film material, wherein the first receiving means is prepared with an adhesive means according to step B and a second receiving means is mounted to an already wound up film material at a second winding unit, wherein a roller exchange occurs such that before, during or after step C the film material is separated at a separation sight of the film material, wherein the film material remaining at the transport device comprises a film beginning at the separation site the film beginning is transported to the contact site of the first receiving means with the transport device in order to effect an initial winding of the film material to the first receiving means.

17. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein a further, receiving means is provided which comprises wound up film material which is connected uniform in material with the film material at the transport device, wherein for the exchange of rollers, a separation of the film material at the transport device occurs in order to clear the connection.

18. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein a separation of the film material for the exchange of rollers occurs via a cutting device edge at least straight, or inclined.

19. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein according to step A at least two receiving means are mounted to a single winding unit.

20. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein by at least a control device or a drive unit a positioning of the receiving means is controlled relative to the application device or vice versa.

21. Method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the prepared receiving means is configured to receive film material for the use in a winding machine, wherein
the prepared receiving means has at least one bearing region for mounting the prepared receiving means to the winding unit of the winding machine and a wall with an outer surface region, wherein a wall is configured such that the outer surface region is placeable on a winding machine and the film material is receivable on the surface region
wherein that the outer surface region at least partially comprises an outer adhesive means layer for making contact with the film material, wherein the outer adhesive means layer has an average thickness of a maximum of 700 μm to maintain the structure of the surface region at least during or after the placement on the transport device as far as possible.

22. Device for the performance of an automatized change of rollers comprising:
at least one winding unit for the acceptance of at least one receiving means,
at least one application device for automatized preparation of the receiving means with an adhesive means, wherein the prepared receiving means is particularly free from adhesive tape, wherein the adhesive means has an average thickness of at least 100 μm and at most 700 μm,
a transport device for the transport of film material wherein the prepared receiving means prepared with an adhesive means is in direct contact with the transport device such that an acceptance of the film material is performable by the prepared receiving means.

23. Device according to claim 22 ,
