Numerical controller for filament winding machine

A numerical controller for a filament winding machine, configured to control the filament winding machine including a winder configured to wind a fiber bundle onto a liner, the numerical controller comprising:

• a data converter configured to be able to convert (i) sets of first winding data which are generated in advance based on a winding condition of winding the fiber bundle onto the liner and in each of which information of time is associated with information of a state of the winder into (ii) sets of second winding data in each of which information of a processing order number assigned to correspond to elapse of a predetermined unit time is associated with the information of the state of the winder;
• a reference data setter configured to be able to set some of the sets of the second winding data as sets of reference data in advance;
• a transferer configured to be able to transfer each of predetermined sets of winding data selected from the sets of the second winding data to the winder, each time the unit time elapses;
• an override value setter configured to be able to set an override value that is used for determining a skip number indicating the number of processing order numbers that are skipped when the predetermined sets of the winding data are selected;
• and
• an adjuster configured to be able to adjust the skip number at stages before and after each of reference numbers that are processing order numbers corresponding to the respective sets of the reference data, based on the override value, to allow the transferer to transfer all of the sets of the reference data to the winder.
