Abstract

The invention relates to a method for jacketing strandlike elements (10), comprising the method steps of: a) producing or providing a strandlike element (10), b) wrapping the strandlike element (10) with an adhesive tape (12) to give a wrapped strand (14), the adhesive tape (12) comprising as curable adhesive a radiation-curing and/or thermally curing adhesive, c) arranging the wrapped strand (14) in one or more holding elements (16) of a holding arrangement (18) to establish a predetermined shape and to give a shaped strand (20), and d) curing the curable adhesive in the shaped strand (20) by irradiating the adhesive tape (12) with electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength λ, to give a jacketed strand (22), wherein the one or the two or more holding elements (16) at least in sections are at least partly transmissive for electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ, wherein the irradiation of the adhesive tape (12) with the electromagnetic radiation of wavelength λ takes place at least partly through the one or the two or more holding elements (16).
