Abstract:
1. A filament winding apparatus for winding a fiber bundle around a liner, the apparatus comprising: a hoop winding device including a winding section for performing hoop winding of the fiber bundle with respect to the liner, a holding section around which the fiber bundle is wound by the winding section and that temporarily holds the fiber bundle on an outer side in a radial direction of the liner, and a cutter for cutting the fiber bundle; and a control section for controlling, a winding starting operation of moving a winding position of the fiber bundle from the holding section to the liner to start the hoop winding of the fiber bundle around the liner at a starting position of the hoop winding after winding the fiber bundle around the holding section, a first cutting operation of cutting the fiber bundle bridged from the holding section to the liner by the cutter, a winding operation of performing the hoop winding of the fiber bundle with respect to the liner, a retreating operation of moving the winding position of the fiber bundle from the liner to the holding section to wind the fiber bundle around the holding section and hold the fiber bundle at an ending position of the hoop winding, and a second cutting operation of cutting the fiber bundle bridged from the liner to the holding section by the cutter.
