German term or phrase: Auf- und Abwickelachsen
This appears in a heading: Drucken mit Auf- und Abwickelachsen
It is about large format printing on media that is narrower than the Auf- und Abwickelachsen.
I was thinking take-up and unwind spindles or take-up and feed spindles.
Target: British English.

Thanks in advance!

rewind shaft / unwind shaft
Explanation:
Is how they are called (I translate manuals for large printing presses on a regular basis).

Example:

"eDrive web transport system
• 3” (76mm) pneumatic core type unwind shaft.
• Various sizes available for the pneumatic core type rewind shaft.
• Controlled acceleration and deceleration rates.
• Automatic tension control on the rewind with the ability to switch to manual tension
control.
• Automatic tension control on the unwind."

(from one of my manuals)

_______________________________

From a UK manufacturer:

"Most reel fed printing presses and converting machines use heavy airshafts to support the reels as they unwind or rewind."

From a UK manufacturer:

"• Inflatable 3" unwind shaft.
• Side lay adjuster to unwind shaft.
• Electronically controlled magnetic powder brake system for the unwind.
• End off roll stop."

supply shaft and wind-up shaft


Explanation:
I'm not sure about this, but it looks like it's pretty close.

Automatic front and rear take-up shafts for release liner removal.
Swing-out supply shafts with auto-grip for easy loading and positioning of films.
Auto-Grip Shafts
Swing out supply shafts with unique auto-grip feature means easy loading and positioning of films.
Media Feed
Optional media feed, combined with the Image 62 Plus' rear take-up shaft, affords roll-to-roll laminating for improved production throughput.

The Supply Shaft holds the adhesive or laminate material, while the Take Up or wind-up shaft holds the release liner.
