A roll changer for delivering a web of material has, for edge-aligned connection of the trailing end of a delivered web with the leading end of the web from a new roll, in addition to the web edge-sensor controlling the position of the delivery roll during such delivery, a roll sensor responsive to the position of the edge of the outermost turn of the new roll, adjusting the axial position of the new roll. The sensors are switched to the respective controllers upon rotation of the roll turret to deliver a new roll to the waiting position.

Apparatus for the edge aligned connection of webs

The invention relates to a method of guiding a web of paper or foil material in a web-guiding device, such web having print marks applied to it at least over stretches of the web, as well as to such a web-guiding device with a correcting device, the latter being adjustable when the center of the web runs off course and with a controlling system connected to an edge-sensing system, whereby the position of the print marks relative to an imaginary guide line is controllable over stretches of the web carrying print marks, and additional correction relating to the latter can be made, if required. According to the invention, print marks signals are produced by means of a print mark sensor and linked with the correction signals of the edge-sensing system, with priority of the print mark signals.
