ABSTRACT:
A distinctive method and apparatus (20) technique for intermittently applying a component (22) onto a moving substrate (26). The method and apparatus can include a conveyor (28) configured to provide the moving substrate (26) at a selected substrate speed, and a transporter (30) configured to deliver a component web (24) at a selected component web speed which differs from the substrate speed. A rotatable applicator roll (32) has an appointed rotational direction (36), and an outside applicator surface (34). The applicator roll is configured to be rotated at a rate which provides to the applicator surface (34) a surface speed which is substantially equal to the substrate speed. At least one deceleration carriage (40) is assembled to rotate with the applicator roll (32) and is configured to receive and hold a selected portion of the component web (24). The deceleration carriage is configured to translate along a carriage movement path (42) from an appointed first position (44) to an appointed second position (46) while moving substantially opposite to the rotation direction (36), and is configured to be repositionable along a carriage return path (50) to the first position (44). A divider, such as rotary cutter (52), coordinates with the applicator roll (32) to intermittently separate the component web (24) into individual component web segments (22), which can then be assembled to the moving substrate (26).
