Winding system having at least one winding device

A winding system comprising:

• at least one winding device for winding up at least one ribbon-form material to be wound onto at least one exchangeable tube that is drivable in rotation about a winding axis;
• at least one feed device that is provided to supply the at least one ribbon-form material to be wound;
• at least one deflecting unit;
• and
• at least one transporting device that is arranged downstream of the at least one winding device and that is provided to transport away loaded tubes in a transporting direction that extends at least substantially parallel to the winding axis,
• wherein the at least one deflecting unit is provided to deflect the at least one ribbon-form material to be wound coming from the at least one feed device, during at least one winding-up operation, as said ribbon-form material to be wound travels to the at least one winding device, about at least one axis that extends at least substantially parallel to a direction of the gravitational force,
• wherein the at least one ribbon-form material is deflected via the at least one deflecting unit in a plane that extends at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of the gravitational force, and
• wherein the at least one winding device comprises at least one handling unit that is provided to transfer loaded tubes to the at least one transporting device in a transfer direction that extends at least substantially perpendicular to the winding axis.
