Abstract

In a method for producing workpieces comprising fibre composite material, in which a base unit (5) held by retaining means (97) of a conveying device is guided by at least one application station (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72) and, in order to form the workpieces at the application station (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72) or at least at one of the application stations (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72), during a translational movement of the base unit (5) through the application station (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72) in question at least one strip (6) belonging to the fibre composite material is placed on the base unit (5), it is proposed that the spatial orientation of the base unit (5) is altered by means of at least one rotation relative to the retaining means (97) before the application station (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72) or before at least one of the application stations (2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29,2, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 29, 39-41, 67-72) in the conveying direction. The invention furthermore relates…
