between subgroups 27 1 and 27 2 of the winding device 10 the winding devices 10 are held stage like by a winding module 28 which extends along the machine side walls 31 1 and 31 2 in subgroups 27 1 and 27 2 the subgroup 27 1 of the winding device 10 here forms the machine side wall 31 1 and the subgroup 27 2 of the winding device 10 forms the machine side wall 31 2 the processing groups 26 1 and 26 4 are arranged in a square arrangement around the heating device 6 so that a total of four machine side walls 31 1 to 31 4 are produced the creels 29 of the processing groups 26 1 to 26 4 are arranged in the corners to operate a multiplicity of processing points the heating device is formed by several separate heating modules a heating module 30 being assigned to each of the processing groups 26 1 to 26 4 thus the processing points assigned to the processing groups 26 1 to 26 4 are combined to a machine module 36 1 to 36 4 in terms of control the machine modules 36 1 to 36 4 can be controlled independently.
