Abstract
A high speed winding apparatus for winding a continuous web of material onto cylindrical cores to form winding rolls has at least one turret rotatably mounted to a frame. The web is surface wound at a predetermined surface speed on individual winding arms mounted within the turret. The winding rolls are driven through the cores and are urged against a surface winding drum turning at the web surface speed. Cores are changed automatically by cutting and splicing the web segments to a new set of cores. The completed roll is unloaded, and the turret is then rotated 180.degree. with the empty winding arms passing between the web segments.
