The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for in-line separation of a plurality of laminated webs (10a-10i) of polymer film and non-woven web to compensate for the increased width due to stretching in the cross-machine direction (CD). Due to the stretching in the cross-machine direction, typically by interdigital rolling or tentering, the width of the individual webs (10a-10i) is increased. To compensate for the increase in width, the apparatus and method of the present invention is employed to provide for in-line separation of the narrow webs (10a-10i). The apparatus of the present invention may allow for simplicity in threading the device, due to the ability to automatically thread individual turning bars (16a-16i and 18a-18i) by moving the turning bars across the undeflected path of the web (10a-10i).
