roll (verb)

English translation: roll is rolled onto roll loader arms of unwind module

07:22 Oct 23, 2005
English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / printing
English term or phrase: roll (verb)
in a printing press

"Unwind Station Threading (Cantilevered application): Roll the parent roll of material onto the roll loader platform. Slide the platform forwards until the roll of material is placed onto the coreholder. Inflate the coreholder."

another example:

"Place the unwind coreholder through the roll of material to be run and then inflate the coreholder using the inflation tool provided on the unwind module. Roll the coreholder containing the roll of material onto the unwind module onto the roll loader arms located on the left-hand side of the unwind module."

... sorry, this may look a simple question, but I would like a confirmation - does it simply mean roll the web around (or feed) the coreholder or the roll loader platform?

Thanks!

Selected answer:roll is rolled onto roll loader arms of unwind module
Explanation:
It seems to me that the sequence of operations consists of placing the roll on the non-inflated coreholder, which is then inflated so that it grips the roll by pressing tightly against the inside of its core. The whole unit (coreholder with the roll firmly gripped by it) is rolled into position on the unwind module, where it rests on the roll loader arms.
I think last part should read: "Roll the coreholder containing the roll of material onto the unwind module, onto the roll loader arms on its left-hand side."

  -> Thank you. I quite often feel that way myself.
agree  Ken Cox: rolls are cylindrical, so they can be moved by rolling them on a surface such as a floor or platform // Missed that one. Nobody thought of shaping the road surface to match?

  -> Thank you. Do you remember the film "Carry on Cleo", in which an ancient Briton invented the wheel, but it didn't work very well - it was square.
