ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for winding an elastomeric fiber under no or low tension in which a spool of the fiber is placed between a pair of spaced rotating wheels thus causing the spool to rotate at a predetermined linear velocity, and the fiber is first passed from the spool around a take off pulley rotating faster than the spool, then around a substantial portion of the circumferences of a series of guide sheaves, each of which is rotating at the predetermined velocity, and then onto a wind up reel that is also rotating at the predetermined velocity. The speed of the rotating wheels is adjusted during the winding to compensate for the decrease in the spool's diameter as the fiber is unwound from it and for any inherent tension in the spooled fiber in order to keep the spool rotating at substantially the predetermined velocity.
