Splicer (1) for splicing to each other strips (30) of cords embedded in rubber material. The device comprises a supply transport device (2) for supplying strips in a supply direction. A splicing unit (6) splices strips to each other, and comprises a splicing table (7) and a splicing machine (8) placed over the splicing table. The supply transport device supplies strips to the splicing unit. A discharge transport device (11) discharges strips spliced to each other. A first (4) and a second (5) transport unit that are in line with each other are provided. The first transport unit (4) supplies strips to the second transport unit (5), in which the second unit supplies strips to the splicing unit and has an inlet end and an outlet end. The outlet end of the second transport unit and the splicing table are laterally, that means transverse to the transport direction, movable with respect to each other. Preferably the splicing machine determines a splice line (12), in which a target position is formed by the middle of the splice line. A computer is provided having a file in which a target position has been included. A comparer compares a position signal generated by a sensor (13) and fed into the computer, with the target position and issues a control signal for controlling the relative lateral position of the splicing table and the second transport unit. |
