  • Publication number: 20030047640
    Abstract: Process and winding machine for winding a continuous material web on a reel spool forming a wound reel. The process includes, upon attaining a desired roll diameter in an old wound reel, closing a new winding nip between a reeling drum and a new reel spool brought into a standby position. In this regard, the reeling drum and the old wound reel are jointly displaced while maintaining the old winding nip formed between the reeling drum and the old wound reel. After the closing of the new winding nip between the reeling drum and the new reel spool, the linear load in the new winding nip is adjusted, controlled or regulated by a corresponding displacement and tightening of the reeling drum.

  • Patent number: 6325323
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nip force control system in a reel-up gear for a paper machine comprising a pair of primary arms (6, 7) and secondary arms (8, 9) for supporting and positioning a tambour core (2, 3) at the paper web winding operation as well as at the so-called change-over procedure when the tambour core is replaced. Each of the arms are connected to a hydraulic cylinder (10, 11) for positioning the arms and the primary—as well as the secondary arms are provided with load cells (12, 15) for measuring the nip force (F) for respective arm against the tambour core (2, 3). The control system also includes load cells (17) in the holding bracket (4) of the tambour core for measuring the additional force from said holding bracket. By this location of the load cells close to the measuring point an improved nip force control is obtained, especially during the critical change-over procedure.

  • Patent number: 6260788
    Abstract: A reel-up in a paper machine has two primary arms, each of which has an elongate beam that is pivotably journalled on stand members in the reel-up, and a carriage that is displaceably journalled on the beam and has a gripper on its side that faces the surface winding drum for gripping a reeling drum collected from a top drum stock. Each beam has a free end located at a lesser distance from the pivot axis of the primary arm than the distance between the pivot axis and the empty reeling drum located in the drum stock. Each carriage can be displaced outwards from the beam so that the gripper is beyond the free end of the beam at a distance from the free end so as to assume a position for receipt of a reeling drum.
