Disclosed is a strip applicator, a strip-winding station and method for applying a strip to a strip-winding drum, wherein the strip applicator includes an applicator member applying the strip to the strip-winding drum at an application position and a supply section receiving the strip in an input direction at a supply position and supplying the strip to the applicator member in an output direction. The applicator member is movable in an offset direction transverse to the output direction to offset the application position relative to the supply position. The supply section has an input member at the supply position for receiving the strip in the input direction and an output member for outputting the strip to the applicator member in the output direction. The output member is movable relative to the input member from a start position towards an offset position in the offset direction.

Disclosed is a creel including a plurality of creel bobbins, a plurality of guiding tubes located at the lower end of the creel and a plurality of guiding tubes located at the upper end of the creel, wherein each guiding tube is arranged for receiving a wire from an individual creel bobbin, wherein the lower half of the creel bobbins are arranged to feed their wires to the guiding tubes at the upper end of the creel, while the upper half of the creel bobbins are arranged to feed their wires to the guiding tubes at the lower end of the creel.

Creel and a method

Disclosed is a first creel bobbin brake, a creel bobbin assembly, a creel and a creel method. The first creel bobbin brake is arranged for applying a braking torque to a first shaft of a first creel bobbin. The first creel bobbin brake includes a strap that is provided with a first end, a second end and a strap body extending in a longitudinal direction between the first end and the second end, wherein the strap further includes an opening in the strap body, wherein the strap body and the opening are arranged to taper from the first end towards the second end, wherein the strap is arranged to be wound around the first shaft of the first creel bobbin over at least two revolutions, and wherein the second end is insertable through the opening with each revolution.
