Abstract
The subject invention is directed to a reel rewinder apparatus. The apparatus includes a base supporting a drive motor which rotates a drive wheel. A reel foot mounting assembly is mounted to the base and is configured for positioning a reel seat in a predetermined position. Locking assemblies are provided for locking components of the reel seat mounting assembly in a predetermined position. A foot clamping assembly is operatively associated with the reel seat and configured to secure a reel foot thereon. A service spool arm extends from the base and is configured to support a spool in operative relationship with the drive wheel. A support arm assembly is securable to the reel seat with the foot clamping assembly and is used to support a spool against the drive wheel. Alternatively, a spool clamping assembly is incorporated into the drive wheel for clamping a spool to drive wheel.
