Device and method for producing a fiber composite product

A device for producing a toroid-shaped fiber composite product, the device comprising:

• at least two fiber or fiber composite material dispensing units, being adapted to place a fiber or a fiber composite material onto the surface of a toroid-shaped mandrel;
• and
• positioning means arranged to effectuate relative movement of the mandrel and the dispensing units during placement of the fiber or fiber composite material;
• wherein the at least two dispensing units each comprise
• a ring-shaped guide means that surrounds the mandrel in a circumferential direction thereof;
• and
• at least one fiber or fiber composite material delivery device for placing said material onto the surface of the mandrel, the delivery device being movable along or with the guide means relative to the surface of the mandrel;
• and wherein the at least two dispensing units are spaced apart over some distance in the circumferential direction of the mandrel and they are adapted to place the fiber or fiber composite material onto the surface of the toroid-shaped mandrel in any direction with respect to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, including directions that differ for each dispensing unit.
