An end effector for laying down fibers on a laying mold, the end effector having at least one bobbin arrangement of a system type, the system type being defined by virtue of the fact that the bobbin arrangement has a first bobbin for providing a first fiber strand and a second bobbin for providing a second fiber strand, the rotational axes of the first and the second bobbin being arranged at an angle with respect to one another, the first fiber strand and the second fiber strand being merged over a deflection unit and being guided from a corner region of the end effector jointly into a center region of the end effector and further to a pressure roller.
