TAPE WINDING APPARATUS

摘要

A tape winding apparatus including a rotatable spindle having an axial bore through which a core on which a tape is to be wound to produce a cable is advanced, and a reel carrying a roll of tape supported on the spindle for rotation about the core. A takeup roller is provided between the reel and the core for defining at least two areas therebetween so that the tension of the tape in one of those areas which is closer to the reel may be higher than in the other area. A wind barrier is provided between those areas for preventing transfer of a wind created by the rotation of the reel from the one area to the other area. A tension controller is provided between the takeup roller and the core for controlling the rotating speed of the takeup roller to maintain the tape therebetween at a satisfactorily low tension which ensures proper winding of the tape on the core.
