Brading Machine
A braiding machine is a device that interweaves three or more strands of yarn or wires through the inner and outer warp and figures 8 or circular motion. The mechanical structure of a knitting machine is generally divided into weaving, traction, winding, and electric control parts.
Braiding machines can use a variety of materials to produce a wide variety of products, including ropes, elastic, shoelaces, ribbons, lace, reinforcement hose, fishing line, fishing net rope, wire and cable, sports equipment, and other everyday civilian areas; As well as petrochemical, automotive electrical appliances, Marine cable, aviation, aerospace, military, insulation, sealing, carbon fiber preformed composite materials, medical devices, a wide range of applications. This is also why the vitality of weaving machine is very strong, each country and region need different purposes for a weaving machine.
Under normal circumstances, the output of the braiding machine is determined according to the user’s product pitch and the speed of the selected model. Output = 1/4 spindles/speed * pitch length.

Braiding machine classification
- Braiding machines are classified according to the rotational speed: In a low-speed braiding machine, the ingot seat slides on the upper disc surface, guided by the upper disc track, and the speed of the joint flower tooth is generally below 120rp/m; in High-speed braiding machine, the ingot base is transmitted on the dial, guided by the guide block in the track groove of the upper disc, and the speed of the dial is generally below 300rp/m.
- Braiding machines are classified by form: : Vertical braiding machine plate surface, spindle facing up, weaving core from directly below, out from above; The hardness of the products woven by the vertical braiding machine is usually soft, and the minimum bending radius is small, which is suitable for general ropes, cable wires, clothing accessories, cabinets, bathroom pipes, etc.; Horizontal braiding machine： The horizontal braiding machine plate surface, spindle level, the weaving core enter from one end and goes out from the other end; The product hardness of the horizontal braiding machine is usually harder, and the minimum bending radius is large, so it needs to be placed horizontally, if your products are such as engineering pipes, hydraulic oil pipes, rubber hoses, etc., thicker and harder cables, composite pipes that need to be cured, it is recommended to choose a horizontal braiding machine is more suitable.
Knitting machines are classified by the number of spindles
An important part of a braiding machine is a spindle, which is a straight spike usually made of iron, stainless steel, or plastic. It is usually weighted at the bottom and links to the track of the horn gear. It has hooks, grooves, or a notch at the top to guide the yarn. Spindles come in many different sizes and weights, depending on the thickness of the product you want to braid. Usually, the thickness of the weaving material and the number of spindles of the weaving machine determine the diameter or width of the braid. The number of ingots is double, and the weave is round; When the number of ingots is single, the braid is flat. According to different weaving materials, common yarn spindles (porcelain eye spindles), wire spindles (wire spindles), and composite spindles (carbon fiber, glass fiber, basalt fiber, etc.), users need to choose spindles according to different materials.
Knitting machines are classified by dial size
The dial is the part that connects the spindle and the track, and the spindle is driven to perform 8 sub-movements in the machine track by gear transmission, to weave. There are many factors in choosing the size of the dial, such as the size of the spindle, the stroke of the track, the frequency of yarn changes, the size of the diameter (width) of the product, and the material of the product. The commonly used dial sizes are 80mm, 90mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 168mm, 180mm, 400mm, 500mm, etc., which is often said to be an 80 series weaving machine, 90 series weaving machine…
90mm Dial
110mm Dial
130mm Dial
Number of heads of knitting machine
A braiding machine may have one or more braiding disks working together, usually called the number of heads, which determines the number of roots of the braiding machine produced at the same time. 1 head =1 braid, 2 heads = this braid machine can produce 2 braids at the same time, and so on.
Single head
Double head
Multi-head
The drawing part of a braiding machine
The traction part is a device that pulls the woven product upwards (horizontal type) according to a certain transmission ratio or speed. Diagonal roller, Flat roller, Connection roller, Rope wheel (groove wheel), Track, special.
1. Diagonal drum: commonly used in hoses, wires, and cables, general products can not be squeezed.
2. Flat drum: commonly used for hoses, wires, cables, double-layer flat belts, and large-size rope belts.
3. Connection drum: single-layer flat belt, single-layer elastic belt, can press the product flatter.
4. Rope sheave (sheave): round belt with a smaller diameter, round rope.
5. Crawler type: suitable for horizontal braiding machine, generally non-bendable product use.
6. Special: customized according to product requirements, such as screw traction, cylinder traction, etc.

The take-up line part of the braiding machine
The winding line refers to the weaved products automatically winding onto different sizes of wire reels through electric devices, saving manpower, and facilitating sales or secondary processing after winding. It can be customized according to the user’s requirements.
Take-up Line Part
The electronic control part of the braiding machine
The electronic control part refers to the device that controls the operation of the braiding machine, which is used to control the switching, braiding speed, forward and reverse rotation, and other operations of the machine. Generally, it is frequency conversion speed regulation, but there are also dual frequency conversion speed regulation, PLC + touch screen human-computer interaction operation. In addition, different countries and regions have different voltage standards, generally defaulting to 380V three-phase standard industrial voltage, which can be customized according to the requirements of the user’s region.
Control System
Performance characteristics of high-speed braiding machine:
1. High-quality machines, with a reasonable mechanism, make this machine run more stable and have a longer service life.
2. Humanized design, safe and simple operation, and direct and convenient maintenance of the machine.
3. It is not easy to break the thread and will not wear the surface of the raw material during weaving, and the woven product is smooth and of higher quality. If there is a core product, automatic feeding can be used, and the correct amount can be sent regardless of the size of the core.
4. Industrial porcelain eye is installed at the outlet point of the spindle, and the reasonable structure of the spindle makes it faster and simpler to replace the yarn tube and adjust the elasticity.
5. The automatic yarn breaking and power outage devices of this machine are fast and accurate. When the core is used up or disconnected, the machine will automatically stop running, so in the case of no one operating, you can safely let the machine run to increase output and reduce costs.
6. The motor adopts frequency conversion control, which is easy to control the speed and can be overload protected.
7. Standard parts supply and perfect after-sales service will provide a strong guarantee for the normal operation of your machine.
