Automated Splicing Apparatus for Continuous Paperboard Corner Production

The system performs self-service by automatically splicing paper rolls without operator intervention. The automated splicing device cuts the engaged roll, positions the replenishing roll, applies adhesive tape, and secures the connection while the production line continues operating, eliminating the need for manual roll changing and its associated safety risks and production disruptions

The patent replaces the manual mechanical operation of roll changing with an automated mechanical splicing system. The automated device uses cutting mechanisms, positioning systems, adhesive tape applicators, and securing mechanisms to perform roll changes automatically, substituting human manual labor with automated mechanical processes that maintain production continuity

The automated splicing device performs self-service by automatically cutting, aligning, and securing paper rolls without operator intervention. The device includes automated cutting mechanisms that precisely cut the engaged roll and replenishing roll, positioning systems that align the paper edges, and adhesive tape applicators that secure the connection, eliminating the need for operators to manually handle cutting tools and reducing injury risks while maintaining production speed

The patent introduces an intermediary automated splicing device between the production line and the roll changing process. This intermediary system handles all dangerous operations (cutting, aligning, securing) automatically, acting as a mediator that protects operators from direct exposure to hazardous cutting tools while maintaining production continuity and speed

The automated splicing device enables continuity of useful action by performing roll changes during production line operation rather than stopping it. The device cuts the engaged roll, positions the replenishing roll, applies adhesive tape, and secures the connection while the production line continues to move paper products through the manufacturing process, eliminating interruptions and maintaining continuous production

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-positioning the replenishing roll and pre-cutting the engaged roll before the actual splicing operation. The automated device prepares all necessary components (cutting the paper, positioning the replenishing roll) in advance, then executes the splicing operation without stopping production, ensuring continuous operation throughout the roll changing process
