Abstract:
1. A method in a coating line for a fibre-like product or fibre-like products, especially for an optical fibre or optical fibres, in which the fibre-like product and products are directed from output means to a press head, by means of which a tube is formed around the fibre-like product or the fibre-like products, characterized in that the fibre-like product or the fibre-like products are directed from the coating line functioning in the coating process of a previous product or products to a feed unit in a preparatory position at the side, when the coating process of the previous product or products has terminated the feed unit is shifted to the coating line and the fibre-like product or the fibre-like products are fed into the press head and are accelerated to the speed of the tube by means of the feed unit, and the feed unit is detached from the fibre-like product or the fibre-like products, when measurement parameters associated with the fibre-like product or the fibre-like products and/or the tube reach the predetermined values and are shifted back to the preparatory position at the side of the coating line.
