Abstract
An apparatus for producing and winding synthetic multifilament yarns, which has a spin unitfor melt spinning the yarns, at least one treatment unitfor treating the yarns, and a takeup unitwith a plurality of winding positions for winding the yarns. The winding positions-are distributed along a horizontal axis of the takeup unit, with a driven guide rolland a yarn guide-for each winding position being arranged upstream thereof for advancing the yarn. To prevent different yarn deflections despite a different spacing between yarns while treating and while winding the yarns, the invention provides for orienting the guide rollwith its roll axis in the vertical direction to guide the yarns, and for arranging it laterally adjacent the yarn guides-such that the yarns can be advanced substantially in parallel relationship between the guide rolland the yarn guides-
