PURPOSE:To perform uniform plating by holding a fiber bundle in an open state while forming successively or simultaneously slacks in the tensionless state to the fiber bundle in plural plating cells. CONSTITUTION:A fiber bundle 1 is introduced into the 1st plating cell 2 and the 2nd plating cell 3, by which the bundle is plated. The 2nd cylinder 14 of the stopper 9 at the end of the cell 3 is turned on after starting and a holder 15 connecting to said cylinder is moved downward to press the plated bundle 1 onto a receiving base 16. A delivery device 8 is then turned on and the rolls thereof revolve toward the arrow, thereby forming a tension-less slack on the bundle 1. The device 8 is turned off and at the same time the 1st cylinder 13 of the cell 2 is moved downward to press the bundle 1, thereby forming the slack similar to the slack made in the cell 3. The cylinders 13, 14 are turned off and a take-up reel 7 takes up the bundle 1. The above-mentioned operation is repeated. |
