TURNING DEVICE

To provide a turning device that allows a winding core to wind up or wind off a web tidily without deviating shaft centers that should face each other of a left and right pair of chucks.SOLUTION: A turning device configured so that a winding core rotates to wind up a web or the winding core rotates to wind off the web, comprises: a pair of left and right chucks for supporting the winding core; a pair of left and right revolving wheels; a revolving motor; a pair of left and right driving wheels that are rotated by the revolving motor; a left and right pair of endless connection belts through which the revolving wheels are connected to the driving wheels; a first tension wheel and a second tension wheel that press the connection belts while sandwiching the connection belts from both sides; outer first moving means that moves the first tension wheel so that the wheel presses the connection belts; outer second moving means that moves the second tension wheel so that the wheel presses the connection belts; and a load cell that detects degrees of the respective pressing by the first tension wheel and the second tension wheel.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】左右一対のチャックの対面すべき軸心がずれず巻芯がウエブをきれいに巻き取れるか、又は巻き出せる旋回装置を提供する。【解決手段】巻芯が自転してウエブを巻取るか、又は前記巻芯が自転して前記ウエブを巻出す旋回装置において、前記巻芯を支持する左右一対のチャックと、左右一対の公転ホイールと、公転モータと、前記公転モータにより回転する左右一対の駆動ホイールと、前記公転ホイールと前記駆動ホイールとを連結する左右一対の無端状の連結帯と、前記連結帯を両側から挟むように押圧する第１テンションホイールと第２テンションホイールと、前記第１テンションホイールが前記連結帯を押圧するように移動させる外第１移動手段と、前記第２テンションホイールが前記連結帯を押圧するように移動させる外第２移動手段と、前記第１テンションホイールと前記第２テンションホイールによる前記各押圧の度合いを検出するロードセルとを有する。【選択図】図４
