Abstract
To ensure during the braiding of braiding cores, which have a complex braiding core geometry or vastly different side lengths, that the braiding threads are always correctly following the braiding core contour in terms of storage, at least two braiding rings are provided, which have a constant opening cross-section and are arranged in series directly adjacent to one another. The opening cross-sections delimited by the braiding rings overlap at least partially. The braiding rings are adjustable independently of one another.
Claims13
A braiding machine for braiding a braiding core that is fed in a permanently continuous manner, the braiding machine comprising:
- at least two braiding thread spools;
- at least two braiding rings having a constant opening cross section disposed in series so as to be mutually adjacent such that the constant opening cross sections delimited by the two braiding rings form an overlap opening that corresponds geometrically to a momentary braiding core cross section, wherein
- the at least two braiding rings are disposed between the braiding thread spools and a run-on point of braiding threads onto the braiding core, and
- the two braiding rings are disposed so as to be individually adjustable.
