Abstract
A winder for textile fabrics or other web materials including a frame having spaced apart support arms pivotally secured thereto. Each support arm has a core holding chuck at the outer end of same, at least one of which is torque driven. A surface drive roll is located on the frame to receive material and apply same to the roll of material being produced. A load cell associated with the surface drive roll measures nip pressure at the interface between the surface drive roll and the roll being formed and is associated with a pneumatic bellows or the like via a control system to cause movement of the support arm for maintenance of a predetermined nip pressure at the drive roll interface. The chucks for holding winding cores include a plurality of arms pivotally secured within a chuck housing which are pivotally movable to an extended core engaging position.
