Abstract:
A contact roller system of a winding machine for thin strip material, the contact roller system comprising:a shaft; pivot levers arranged in a row adjacent to one another on the shaft; the pivot levers having an actuating drive, respectively, configured to pivot the pivot levers about a pivot axis; the pivot levers having two contact roller segments, respectively, wherein the contact roller segments are moveable against slit rolls during a winding process by the pivot levers; wherein the two contact roller segments are arranged on opposite sides of the pivot levers, respectively, and form a contact roller segment pair; wherein the contact roller segment pairs are positioned adjacent to one another such that a gap, required for a rotational movement of the contact roller segment pairs, is formed between end faces of the contact roller segment pairs neighboring one another; wherein the contact roller segment pairs are freely rotatably supported and rotate about an axis of rotation parallel to the pivot axis of the pivot levers; and wherein the axes of rotation of the contact roller segment pairs have a common pivot radius.
