Abstract
A filament winding system includes a storage unit that stores in advance a reference shape of a winding object, and winding conditions including a winding position and a winding angle at which a fiber is wound around the winding object having the reference shape, a guide that is movable relative to the winding object, and feeds the fiber onto the winding object, a rotating device that rotates the winding object, such that the fiber fed from the guide is wound around the winding object, a measuring unit that measures a shape of the winding object, and a controller. When there is a difference between the reference shape stored in the storage unit, and the measured shape of the winding object, the controller corrects the winding conditions so as to reduce or eliminate the difference, and controls the guide according to the corrected conditions.
