ABSTRACT:
Helical winding is reliably carried out in a plurality of patterns at different angles in a short period of time. A filament winding apparatus for winding fiber bundles onto the surface of a mandrel includes a helical winding head for use in helical winding of the fiber bundles onto the mandrel. The helical winding head includes at least two guide arrays, each including a plurality of guide portions disposed along a circumferential direction of the mandrel, and a repositioning mechanism capable of repositioning the guide portions by rotating each guide array relative to another.
