A braiding machine interlocks yarns around spindles that move in opposing directions to continuously weave materials like rope, cable sleeves, and decorative trims. Different models cater to various braid diameters, materials, and application requirements.
Start with the Bobbin
For both braiding and twisting machines, production starts with the bobbin—the core component that carries the yarn. Selecting the right bobbin is crucial for efficiency and quality. To choose the correct bobbin size, consider your rope’s material, its final thickness, and the desired production length.
The most popular universal models in the textile industry are the 90, 110, and 130 models .
High-speed braiding machines use spools with a fixed yarn storage capacity. To produce ropes of varying widths or diameters, we can wind a single strand or multiple strands of yarn together onto the spool. By adjusting the number of strands combined, we can flexibly braid a variety of rope sizes.
Well how to rewind yarn to the bobbin?
Don't fret, look below.
Yarn rewinding Machine
This automatic yarn winder cuts the yarn and drops the full spool after reaching the preset number of turns. Then, it automatically loads a new spool and restarts winding, minimizing manual operation for efficient and convenient use.
Different sized spools require different machine models
It is key to achieving your desired design. The decision depends on three factors:
1.Pattern Complexity: More intricate patterns require more bobbins.
2.Braid Density: Using more carriers creates a thicker, stronger, and more durable rope with greater coverage.
3.Yarn Count: The total number of individual yarns ("ends") in your final product dictates the number of bobbins needed, as each bobbin feeds a single yarn into the braid.
Selecting the Right Number of Bobbins
Flat Rope
Flat braids are typically produced by braiding machines with an odd number of bobbins, such as 13, 17, 21, 25, or 33 spindles.
Round Rope
Round braids are typically produced by braiding machines with an even number of bobbins, such as 16, 24, 32, or 48 spindles.
