Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for rewinding and cutting a film-like material. In one example, a method may include adjusting a position of a retractable driven shaft located between a first roller from which the film-like material is unwound and a second roller onto which the film-like material is rewound during the rewinding and cutting operations. The method may further include adjusting a tension applied on the film-like material based on speeds of a first shaft holding the first roller and a second shaft holding the second roller, and a brake force applied onto the first shaft.
