  • Tape winding guide and centering apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4454998
    Abstract: A tape winding guide and centering apparatus engages the outside face of each of the flanges of the reel being wound by one of a pair of variably spaced apart, coaxial, similarly sized confronting annuli which rotate with the reel during the winding operation. The variable spacing of the annuli is controlled to distort the reel to close the peripheries of the flanges to a predetermined spacing. An adjustable stop is also provided to position the reel hub to a predefined axial location relative to the distorted flange rims.

  • Tape winding system
    Patent number: 4436251
    Abstract: Apparatus for winding a preselected, programmable amount of tape under a predetermined level of tension is described. The tape is automatically placed under the predetermined level of tension prior to actually winding the tape onto the hub. The tape is fed at a variable speed according to a look-up table, while it is wound onto a hub, and is servoloop controlled so as to maintain constant tension on the tape as the speed at which the tape is fed changes.
