To understand the above techniques, it is necessary to understand the terms "Duplex" Surface Rewinding". The term Duplex Rewinding implies the use of two shafts for Rewinding the slit substrate. This ensures a positive separation between adjacent slit reels, which are wound alternately on the two shafts.In Surface Rewinding, the web is driven by the winding drum which is always in contact with the outer layer of the material being rewound. Here, it is the winding drum which is driven, also by a motor in most cases.As is clear by the above definitions, in the case of Center-Surface Rewinding, the winding force is derived from both the Rewind shaft and the contact with the winding drum. Here, both the Rewind shaft and the winding drum are driven by through a clutch mechanism and motor respectively.
