<p>The present invention provides a machine for cutting at least two components (56, 63) of a multi-component workpiece from webs (51, 61) of material which are moving at different speeds relative to one another, and depositing the two cut components (53, 63) on a third web (71) of material moving at yet a different speed. The machine cuts the first component (53) from a moving first web (51), transfers the cut component to overlie a moving web (61) of second material, and cuts the second component (63) from the second web (61) while the first component (53) overlies and falls, either wholly or partially, within the cut boundaries of the second component (63). The mated first (53) and second (63) cut components are then transferred by the machine to a web (71) of third material. An optional embossing roller imparts a pattern to the stacked cut first (53) and second (63) components as they pass between the embossing and anvil rollers. The machine is particularly adapted for the manufacture of articles of manufacture such as infant diapers, adult incontinence garments, and personal hygiene napkins in which elements of the napkin must be cut, registered with respect to one another, and affixed to other elements of the article during the manufacturing process.</p> |
