Abstract:
1. A turn-up device for a reel-up of fiber webs, comprising: a cutting module having a linear beam and a slide mounted for linear motion in a cross-direction along the beam over a selected linear distance; an arm attached to the slide about a pivot point, so that the arm is fixable in a position to extend away from the slide and the linear beam, and is pivotable on the pivot point to another position closer to the linear beam or an imaginary extension of the beam so the arm extends in the cross-direction beyond the selected linear distance; at least one nozzle for jet cutting mounted on the arm spaced from the slide to move linearly with the slide when the arm is fixed so as to cut along a linear path spaced from and parallel to the beam; and wherein the at least one nozzle on the arm is arranged to extend beyond, in the cross-direction, the selected linear distance and to cut when pivoted on the pivot point along a circular path beginning or terminating beyond the selected linear distance.
