Abstract

A tape winding apparatus, in which a tape drawn from a pancake reel and loaded onto a reel base is wound and accommodated within a cassette, includes a pancake reel exchanging apparatus, wherein at least two pancake reels coaxially disposed with respect to the axial direction of the reel base are loaded onto the reel base. Therefore, a plurality of pancake reels can be loaded onto this tape winding apparatus and the tape winding apparatus can be made comparatively small in size.
