Abstract

A device and a method for serially depositing a filamentary strand into several cans of a can creel with a traversable depositing device. The depositing device comprises a conveyance means which is held in such a manner that it can be moved and which can be guided into several depositing positions. The strand is fed continuously to the conveyance means and from each depositing position at least one of the cans of the can creel can be filled by the conveyance means. In order to make the filling of a plurality of cans in the can creel as rapid and flexible as possible, the depositing device comprises a robot with a multi-axis robot arm, where the robot carries the conveyance means at the free end of its robot arm. Thus, the conveyance means can be guided, in its positioning as well as in its movements for filling the can, by the multi-axis robot arm of the robot.
