Effect of braiding angle and yarn length compensating mechanism of carrier on braiding of branch-merge structure in multi-braider

Our previously proposed path simulation method of carrier on a multi-braider was used to determine the initial arrangement of carriers to make a braid with a branch-merge structure and fabricate a prototype braid. However, the prototype had a small braiding angle, and the structure of the branch-mer...

Summary:Our previously proposed path simulation method of carrier on a multi-braider was used to determine the initial arrangement of carriers to make a braid with a branch-merge structure and fabricate a prototype braid. However, the prototype had a small braiding angle, and the structure of the branch-merge switching part was not well-formed. To address this, we investigated the relationship between the yarn feed amount from the carrier moving on the multi-braider and the carrier's yarn length compensating mechanism. We proposed an improved compensating mechanism to prepare a braid with a larger braiding angle. The resulting braid was found to have a well-formed branch-merge structure.
