PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a position of a fiber bundle on guide rollers from coming off from a predetermined range at the center of the guide rollers.SOLUTION: A filament winding apparatus comprises: a guide mechanism having guide rollers which guide a fiber bundle supplied from a fiber unwinding mechanism onto an outer surface of a liner and a drive part which rotates the guide rollers; and a control part which controls the drive part, in which the guide rollers are formed such that a diameter becomes larger from their central part toward both outer sides in a rotational axis direction, in which the guide rollers are switchable between a fixed state in which the rollers do not rotate and a state of being rotated by the drive part so as to give the fiber bundle friction force, and the control part, in the case where a position of the fiber bundle on the guide rollers comes off from a predetermined range near the center of the guide rollers, controls the drive part so as to rotate the guide rollers in an opposite direction from a direction where the fiber bundle is conveyed, and moves the position of the fiber bundle on the guide rollers closer to the center of the guide rollers.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
