PURPOSE: To swiftly, securely and automatically wind a flexible winding member around the outer periphery of a body to be wound by providing a control means that controls winding action around the outer periphery of the body to be wound by means of an automatic winding means, and moving action that moves a moving means in the longitudinal direction of the body to be wound synchronously with this winding action.

CONSTITUTION: Through the control of a control means 8, a flexible winding member for example, an adhesive tape, band, connecting cord, etc., is wound around the outer periphery of a body to be wound, for example, a wire harness 1 by an automatic winding means 3, as well as a moving means 4 as moved in the longitudinal direction of the body 1 to be wound synchronously with the winding action of this automatic winding means 3, In this case, if, for example, the moving means 4 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the body 1 to be wound a little quicker compared with the winding action of the automatic winding means 3, such a state of dense winding as the flexible winding members overlap with each other around the outer periphery of the body 1 to be wound can be realized.
