FIBER BUNDLE BODY BUNDLING METHOD AND BUNDLING DEVICE AND HOLLOW FIBER BUNDLE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND MANUFACTURING DEVICE

摘要

Provided are: a fiber bundle body bundling method and bundling device whereby the amount of lengthwise space needed to cut an aggregated fiber bundle is reduced while still reliably cutting the aggregated fiber bundle into cut fiber bundles; and a hollow fiber bundle manufacturing method and manufacturing device. In this fiber bundle body (Bd) bundling method and bundling device (100) in which an aggregated fiber bundle (Bb) consisting of an aggregated plurality of continuous fibers (Ba) is sequentially cut into cut fiber bundles (Bc) while being conveyed in the lengthwise direction (W) thereof and said cut fiber bundles (Bc) are sequentially collected and bundled into a fiber bundle body (Bd) the aggregated fiber bundle (Bb) which is held at a first holding position (P1) and moves in a first direction (X1): is held at a second holding position (P2) after the first holding position (P1) has moved away from a holding/action position (R1) for the second holding position (P2); is held at a third holding position (P3) upstream of the second holding position (P2); and is then cut between the second holding position (P2) and the third holding position (P3). This series of actions is then repeated with the third holding position (P3) becoming the first holding position (P1).
