Web winding apparatus

摘要

A web processing apparatus has a cutting mechanism (26) for cutting elongate webs (24a) of different widths from a raw web (16), a core rotating mechanism (58) for selectively holding cores (28) having different diameters and different axial lengths and rotating a selected one of the cores (28) in opposite directions, a winding mechanism (110) for supporting one of the elongate webs (24a) on an outer circumferential surface of the core (28) to wind the elongate web (24a) in different winding directions when the core (28) is rotated, and a cutting mechanism (66) for cutting an end of the elongate web (24a) to produce a roll (30) after the elongate web (24a) is wound around the core (28).
