Abstract
Reel winding device and process for supporting a winding reel. The device includes two support rolls arranged to form a winding bed adapted for receiving a winding reel, a compressed air support device having a pressure chamber arrangement with end sealing elements, and at least one of the end sealing elements including a sealing diaphragm arrangement that cooperates with a circumference of the winding reel. The process includes rotating the winding reel, positioning the at least one of the sealing elements in a vicinity of an axial end of the winding reel, blowing compressed air toward a circumferential surface of the winding reel, and adjusting a position of the sealing diaphragm in accordance with a diameter of the winding reel.
Claims39
A reel winding device comprising:
- two support rolls arranged to form a winding bed adapted for receiving a winding reel;
- a compressed air support device having a pressure chamber arrangement with end sealing elements;
- and
- at least one of the end sealing elements including a sealing diaphragm arrangement that cooperates with a circumference of the winding reel,
