A flying splice is used to join the ends of two rolls of stock such as paper. The end of an expiring roll is spliced to the beginning of an incoming roll while the machine using the rolls of paper continues to run at normal production speeds. In order to perform a successful flying splice several things are needed. First, an easily used and reliable means of monitoring me position of the glue line. Second, a repeatable means to electrically energize digital outputs that tire the splice roll and knife solenoids. Third, a sound mechanical system capable of consistently moving the splice roll and knife from their rest positions to their splice positions in a repeatable time.
