Abstract
A method for producing a multiaxial contexture, from fiber materials, winds mono-axial contexture from at least one storage device about a winding plane, wherein the winding plane and the at least one storage device rotate about one another, in order to wind the mono-axial contexture about the winding plane. In order to prevent twisting the mono-axial contextures and to facilitate pulling it off from the winding plane, a vibration drive is proposed, which imparts mechanical vibrations onto the winding plane.
