An apparatus (1A) for taking up the slack of a wire harness takes up the slack of a flexible, flat wire harness (4) which is accommodated in a housing (2A) having a second side plate (9) formed in an inclined manner with respect to a first side plate (5), and which is drawn out of the housing (2A). This second side plate (9) is provided in such a manner as to assume a gradual downward gradient from a first opening (7) side toward a second opening (11) side. The wire harness (4) which is inserted through the first opening (7) is partially bonded to the first side plate (5), is once folded back toward the introducing side, i.e., the first opening (7) side, in a state in which the curvature of bending is practically nil. The wire harness (4) is then turned back toward the second opening (11) side in a state of being curved arcuately by the resilient action of the wire harness (4) itself, and is drawn out of the housing (2A) through the second opening (11).

A method for regulating a web tension of a continuous materials which is moving using a transport device with a web-tension controller, includes determining controller characteristic parameters, and using for the determining of controller characteristic parameters a characteristic which is specifiable as a function and / or at several support points.

The invention relates to a device for accumulating flat material in flexible strip form, the device comprising an accumulator box having a bottom on which the strip accumulates, at least during accumulation stages, between two end walls and between two side walls that extend so as to face edges of the strip. The accumulator device includes at least one of the following means:rollers mounted idle close to the bottom and on which the strip rests during accumulation stages;air-flow means for establishing a flow of air within the box towards the bottom of the accumulator box;vibrator means for vibrating at least one of the side walls; andadjuster means for adjusting spacing between the side walls.

A tape recording system is provided having an improved load / unload path, the system comprising a first pair of guides and a second pair of guides movable from an unloaded position to a loaded position. In the unloaded position, a gap between the first pair of guides and the second pair of guides provides a path for loading a tape from a supply reel to a take-up reel without contacting any of the first pair of guides, the second pair of guides and the head assembly to prevent contamination and damage of these components. The tape loader path is isolated from the head by the first pair of guides providing protection of the head from possible contact damage by the loader mechanism and tape leader.

A method of controlling a converting line having a rewinder, accumulator, and downstream equipment includes: providing upper and lower target limits for the accumulator level; determining the slowest maximum speed of the downstream equipment; determining the fastest minimum speed of the downstream equipment; monitoring the speed of the rewinder and the actual level of the accumulator; generating a master speed reference value to control the downstream equipment which: (i) corresponds to said slowest maximum speed of the downstream equipment if the actual accumulator level is greater than the upper target limit; or (ii) corresponds to the fastest minimum speed of the downstream equipment if the actual accumulator level is less than the lower target limit; or (iii) is based on the actual production speed of the rewinder if the actual accumulator level is less than the upper target limit and greater than the lower target limit for the accumulator.

A laminated core punching apparatus, configured such that a stator-punching press machine that has a molding die performing a partial punching gradually approaches the shape of the stator core piece. There is a punching die to punching out the stator core piece from a strip-form steel plate, and two stator lamination stations. A rotor-punching press machine and a stator-punching press machine are constructed to operate synchronously. An intermediate loop portion capable of causing a strip-form steel plate to hang down in a loop is provided in order to adjust a length of the strip-form steel plate between the two press machines, and a loop guide portion that guides a loop locus of the strip-form steel plate from above so that the strip-form steel plate does not invert is disposed above the intermediate loop portion to be capable of ascending and descending.

A release liner staging unit for depositing a release liner onto an adhesive layer. The unit includes an accumulator that creates a buffer between an amount of release liner supplied and an amount needed for covering a layer of adhesive. The tendency of release liner placed within the accumulator to settle allows additional release liner to be introduced, thereby producing a slightly saturated level of release liner in the accumulator. Time delays can be accounted for to reduce the number of times a drive mechanism needs to operate, thereby reducing wear on such componentry. The unit may also form part of a larger release liner application device and adhesive application system.

A plurality of press devices 2 are arranged in a plastic working system. The plastic working system includes: a loop correction sensor 13 for watching a slack of a coil material C intermittently delivered from a preceding first press device 2a; and a second slack watching means 19 for watching a slack of the coil material C generated at the time of sending the coil material C to a succeeding second press device 2b. According to the slack generated by intermittent feeding of the coil material C sent from the first press device 2a, intermittent feeding is converted to continuous feeding by the feeding means 15. At the same time, the continuous feeding speed is subjected to speed increasing / decreasing control. On the other hand, by the second slack watching means 19, a slack of the coil material C is watched at the time of feeding the coil material C to the second press device 2b and the preceding first press device 2a is subjected to speed increasing / decreasing control.
