Abstract:
A band plate winding system comprising:a carrousel winder having a plurality of individually driven mandrels on a circular support frame, said circular support frame being rotationally drivable in a vertical plane; a roll wrapping device for supporting a plurality of unit rolls each provided so as to be movable forward and backward between a position surrounding the mandrel located at a winding start position of a winder and a position that does not surround the mandrel, a pressure plate located adjacent to each one of the unit rolls, the pressure plate and each one of the unit rolls are spaced apart along different portions of the circumference of the mandrel, the pressure plate applies pressure directly to the mandrel by direct physical contact, wherein a unit roll driving device for rotationally driving each of the plurality of unit rolls comprises transmission means which transmits a rotational force of a driving motor in a direction nearly perpendicular to an axis of the unit roll and which pivots integrally with a frame for supporting the unit roll; one connector portion of the transmission means is connected by a transmission shaft to an end of the unit roll opposed to the one connector portion; and the driving motor is connected to another connector portion of the transmission means.
