The invention discloses a tension control device of fiber sizing equipment of a winding machine and a control method thereof. The control device comprises a servo motor, a motor driver, a glue dipping roller, a tension sensor, a tension signal amplifier, a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), a spring guide roller, a frictioning plate and a roller wheel. The control method comprises the following steps of: firstly, initializing, pre-tightening fiber and starting the device; secondly, measuring the tension value of the fiber by the tensor sensor, and transmitting the tension value to the PLC; thirdly, transmitting a control signal to the motor driver by the PLC; fourthly, controlling the tension of the fiber and the preset value of the tension to be in an error range by the motor driver through the rotating speed of the glue dipping roller controlled by the servo motor; and fifthly, transmitting the fiber to the winding machine through the frictioning plate. The invention has high tension control precision and can monitor the tension in real time. Compared with spring measuring equipment, the tension control device of the fiber sizing equipment of the winding machine greatly improves the measuring precision and the response speed and is convenient to operate.
