The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a fibre coating line which comprises a fibre payout device ( ) from which fibres are arranged to be guided to a press ( ) for forming a coating round the fibres, a cooling device ( ) for cooling a conductor formed by the coating and the fibres, a pulling device ( ) by means of which the conductor formed by the coating and the fibres is pulled further from the press ( ), and means for guiding the conductor to the next processing stage after cooling, whereby the pulling device ( ) is arranged above the height of the line so as to enable the lowest point of the pulling device ( ) to be substantially at the height of the line. To facilitate the start-up of the line, the pulling device ( ) is arranged to be uplifted entirely above the height of the line substantially in a vertical direction.

Arrangement in connection with fibre coating line

The invention relates to an arrangement in connection with a fiber process, the arrangement being provided with a control and drawing device for guiding a fiber or the like along a desired course, and with a cutting device for cutting the fiber or the like at a moment dependent on the fiber process. For controlled operation, the cutting device comprise a body of revolution consisting of two parts between which the fiber or the like is arranged to pass during the process without that it comes in contact with the parts. The body of revolution is arranged to rotate during the cutting of the fiber or the like about an axis that is essentially transverse to the travel direction of the fiber. The edge of one part of the body of revolution is rendered so sharp that as the rotating motion of the body of revolution makes the edge press against the fiber or the like, the edge cuts the fiber, whereby the free end of the fiber or the like winds round the rotating body of revolution.
