The method involves using a laser beam, whose optical axis for scanning an x-y plane is controlled by a digital scanning control device. Severing raster distances are input along an x and a y axis, corresponding to the chip dimensions, of a scanning control device. The co-ordinates of a non-scored line region with respect to the control device are determined for the above input step. Then the scor...

The invention relates to a method in tail threading, in which a lead-in strip, tail (T) separated from the edge of a paper web is guided between two elongated mobile means in a paper web conveying machine and transferred forward between these two means along a given portion in the machine direction of the machine. The mobile means are belts (1, 2) between which the tail is transported. The neutral...
