    Abstract: A chuck assembly for holding a reel is provided. The chuck assembly includes a tubular wall defining a central hole therethrough and extending along a longitudinal axis. The chuck assembly includes a flange member that is coupled to a first end portion of the tubular wall. The chuck assembly includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ball roller assemblies that are coupled to the tubular wall. The chuck assembly further includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth gripper assemblies that are coupled to the tubular wall. The second ball roller assembly is spaced 60 degrees apart from the first ball roller assembly relative to the longitudinal axis and is disposed between the first and second gripper assemblies.

    Abstract: A collapsible rewind spindle includes a main spindle body, and a filler spindle body removably coupled to the main spindle body and movable between an expanded position a collapsed position relative to the main spindle body. A release assembly is provided for allowing movement of the filler spindle body from the expanded position to the collapsed position. A release assembly is provided for allowing movement of the filler spindle body from the expanded position to the collapsed position, wherein the release assembly is configured to effect a controlled movement of the filler spindle body from the expanded position to the collapsed position.

    Abstract: A clamping device (18) for supporting a reel having a tubular core is described. The clamping device (18) comprises a base body (20) with a mounting interface (22) for fixing the base body (20) on a machine frame. Additionally, it has a carrier body (36) configured for being placed inside the tubular core of the reel. The carrier body (36) is rotatably supported on the base body (20) such that the carrier body (36) can rotate with respect to the base body (20) about an axis (38) of rotation. Moreover, a plurality of clamping elements (42) are coupled with an actuation mechanism (76) such that the clamping elements (42) can selectively protrude from an outer circumference of the carrier body (36) and selectively be retracted to be at least flush with the outer circumference of the carrier body (36). Furthermore, a brake mechanism is arranged between the base body (20) and the carrier body (36) for selectively decelerating or blocking the rotation of the carrier body (36) with respect to the base body (20).
