Abstract: The invention relates to a winding machine (1). According to the invention a winding material supply guide (14) is guided for being displaced with a degree of freedom (19) relative to a frame (2) of the winding machine (1). When a winding material guiding structure (4) executes a compensating movement (23) along a degree of freedom (6) during the winding process due to an increase of the diameter of a wound package formed on a spindle (3), a corresponding movement of the winding material supply guide (14) along the degree of freedom (19) can be induced in a way such that a supply angle ? of the winding material (11) to the winding material guiding structure (4) does not change during the winding process.
