This gives me "unwinding machine"

Both sound good to me! A preference?

warp beam
I believe it refers to the warp beam, which is the cylinder at the back of the loom on which the warp is wound prior to theading the loom; as the cloth is woven, so it 'lets off' the warp.

Note from asker:
Thanks mediamatrix. Given the context, as the <dérouleur> seems to be separate from the loom, I'll stick with "unwinder". |

Thanks for your inputs. Actually you seem to know what you're talking about, maybe you should list an interest in "Textiles" ;)
I'm still learning what all the targeting means exactly, so you're right about the members; on the other hand I'm quite happy targeting the Textiles industry because otherwise I risk getting irrelevant input and these are highly specific terms. That's what I've done with my latest terms and e-mails are sent to only 128 members.
I wasn't necessarily expecting an overwhelming response but I've been pleasantly suprised with the help offered by the community.
Re: dérouleur, I do believe they're referring to a machine, as per my links. http://www.textiledictionary.com/beam indicates "ensouple" for beam.
I believe the correct term here is 'warp beam', but I am unable to post that as an answer because you targeted 'members only'.
