Abstract
The invention concerns a method for arranging paper rolls coming, e.g. from a winder into a package suitable for delivery. The rolls are identified, end-labelled, and their width, weight and diameter are measured, whereupon a package is formed of a suitable number of rolls at a wrapping station. According to the invention, the rolls are transferred, each in its turn, to a positioning station, where they are identified and end-labelled one by one, whereupon the identification data and measurement data of each roll as well as of a preceding roll, if any, placed in the waiting position of the positioning station, are compared with the specification data of the package to be delivered. When said data of the rolls correspond to the specification data of the package, the rolls are transferred to the wrapping station, whereas, in the contrary case, the rolls are shifted to the waiting position of the positioning station. Thus, this acts as a sort of a buffer store for paper rolls. The most important items among the specification data are the delivery addresses of the rolls and the total width and weight of the rolls.
