To provide device and method for winding a tape capable of punching a tape information identification hole at the same time as a tape winding process and always punching the tape information identification hole within a range tolerance by suppressing dispersion at a punching position in a tape longitudinal direction.
A second sizing roller 25 capable of detecting a feeding length of a magnetic tape MT is provided between a punching unit 14 and a winding shaft 18. The feeding length of the magnetic tape MT from a hole center of a sort identification hole ID up to a cutting position is detected by the second sizing roller 25. As a result, influence by fluctuation of tension of the tape before and after the punching process is reduced, and the feeding length of the magnetic tape MT can be detected with high accuracy.
