    摘要: A printing apparatus includes: a feeding shaft configured to support a roll body; a printing section configured to perform printing on a medium fed from the feeding shaft; a tension applying unit configured to come into contact with the medium after the medium is fed out from the feeding shaft and before the medium reaches the printing section, thereby applying tension to the medium; and a control unit, in which the tension applying unit includes: a tension bar configured to come into contact with the medium; an arm configured to support the tension bar and rotate to displace the tension bar; an encoder configured to detect a rotational angle of the arm; and a stopper configured to come into contact with the tension bar or the arm to restrict movement of the tension bar and the arm, and the control unit sets, as a reference angle of the arm, a rotational angle of the arm detected by the encoder in a state in which the tension bar or the arm is in contact with the stopper.

    摘要: A machine to produce stacks of folded pop-up wipes from material that is threaded along a path having a direction through the machine. The machine includes a holder, a first tension unit, a perforation unit to generate perforations in the material in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the path, and a folding unit to fold the material in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the path. The material is threaded along a path through the machine via the first tension unit, the perforation unit and the folding unit. A control unit controls the machine to produce folded pop-up wipes by individually controlling tension of material along one or more sections of the path and to increase tension of the material in a section of the path located after the perforation unit to stretch a generated perforation in the section of the path by a target distance.

    摘要: A curling device for curling a flexible sheet is provided. The curling device includes: a curling component configured to fix a first end of the flexible sheet; a movable part configured to fix a second end of the flexible sheet, the second end being opposite to the first end; and a transmission mechanism coupled to the curling component and the movable part, respectively; the transmission mechanism is configured to move the movable part relative to the curling component in a first direction, in response to receiving an external driving force, so as to drive the curling component to rotate, the first direction is perpendicular to an axis direction of the curling component.
