In apparatus for winding web material successively onto separate winding cores, the material is fed from a supply via a central guide roller to alternate winding assemblies carried by rotary frames. The apparatus has left- and right-hand rotary frames on opposite sides of the guide roller respectively and there are two winding assemblies on each frame. The winding assemblies can be moved along the frames in horizontal tracks, and the frames can be rotated so as to alternate the positions of the respective winding assemblies relative to the guide roller. The apparatus includes associated web cutters and slitters both for transverse cutting and lengthwise slitting of the web material so that full-width web rolls can be wound, or separate rolls can be wound from adjacent strips which have been slit longitudinally from the web.
Apparatus for winding web material successively onto separate winding cores comprising a main frame, a web guide roller mounted substantially centrally in the frame, left-and right-hand rotary frame means mounted in the main frame on opposite sides of the guide roller respectively, track means provided on each rotary frame means, first and second winding means mounted on each track means for independent movement therealong toward and away from the guide roller, each winding means including a winding shaft for receiving a winding core and a first drive means for rotating the winding shaft, second drive means for selectively moving the respective winding means along the respective track means, and third drive means for selectively rotating the rotary frame means to alternate the positions of the respective first and second winding means relative to the central guide roller.
