This is an industrial winding / reeling machine. Used for reeling up product made using a continuous extrusion process. 30,000ft of product fit on a single reel. 
It's the blue machine on the right with the 8020 clear guards on it
I bet it was removed during some maintenance and not replaced during reassemble. Lazy tech just screwed the set screw in and left it for the next person to deal with.
I hate working with people like that.
