Abstract

A device and method for packaging a web roll, having a longitudinal axis, with a packaging sheet. The device includes a packaging sheet dispenser which dispenses the packaging sheet to produce a body packaging by dispensing, on at least a portion of a longitudinal extent of the web roll, the packaging sheet. The packaging sheet dispenser is positioned to dispense the packaging sheet to form an acute angle between the lateral direction of the packaging sheet and the longitudinal axis. The packaging sheet dispenser is further arranged to dispense the packaging sheet to produce an end packaging having an axial projection on an end of the web roll. The packaging sheet dispenser is posited so that the lateral direction of the packaging sheet is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. During the production of the body packaging, the web roll migrates, which leads to problems in the subsequent placement of the face cover by the packing presses. To ease these problems, the packaging device further includes a packing press device that includes packing presses positioned to move parallel to the longitudinal axis. The packing presses are associated with end faces of the web roll and are independently positionable. The method includes forming an end packaging at a first end of the web roll that includes an axial projection, axially moving a packing plate toward the first end of the web roll, sensing the axial projection of the end packaging of the web roll, detecting placement of the packing plate relative to the axial projection, and pressing the packing plate against the first end of the web roll.
