- First test of my "maypole braider" with an improvised bobbin. It is not yet adjusted right, nor does it show the final design of the bobbin, but you can get a good impression of how the mecanism works and how the bobbin is guided on its path.
The machine will be used to fabricate cloth braided wiring harnesses.
To see the first test with all bobbin carriers installed, go here:

Finally someone that shows a clear explanation how this works!! I was always wondering how that works!! Thank you so much for the clear video!!
Ahh this was the key I was missing on how these work. the football shaped boat makes it travel to the other gear.
Beautiful. Wonderfully clear explanation of how a braiding machine works. The most
Thank you so much! Every other video shows the process happening so fast, I almost believed I was the only one who did not have slow motion eyes with zoom lenses! :)
I remember them advertising a toy like this on Nickelodeon or something when I was a kid that was supposed to braid girls hair and make bracelets and stuff. I remember watching it and being insanely curious how it worked. Completely forgot about it until the algorithm just put this video in my recommendeds, so thanks for answering this question I'd forgot I asked :)
that sounds incredibly painful
@@swedneck haha, don't know. I remember trying to get my sister to ask for it just so I could see how it worked but she never did.
Thank you. Finally a great explanation.
garaptor - Agreed!
Marvelous! Finally a good explanation! Thanks very much for making such a clear video!!
Hi, we make educational videos showing how certain coasters/elements work on rides. May we have your permission to use parts of this video for an upcoming video with proper and visible credit to you? If we may or may not, please let us know soon at your earliest convenience.
Thanks,

Hi,
you are welcome to use this footage, though I can't see how it would be related to rollercoasters. Maybe your video will enlighten me ;-)
@@andreassiegler2238 We cover other rides too. It's actually the same mechanism (or similar) to what's used on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Alien Swirling Saucers.
thank you! very impressive. sometimes i just don't understand how it work, why must it move on its path, this video help me a lot! thank you!
Brilliantly done, really takes away the "magic", thanks👍
That is incredibly clever! Thank you very much for showing this. I finally understand how this works :D
Дружище.даже не представляешь как было трудно нарыть эту информацию. Прямо секрет за семью печатями.
Hey Andreas , thank you for your beneficial explanation and design. I am curious it seem that you used bush in gears. Why you wouldn't choose bearing in side of gears ? Any specific reason for that ? (by the way, I didnt see any bearing in gears on professional machines as well , even bushes too , those are self alignment.)
Hi Okan,
the gears do have bearings but due to the design they can't be seen once assembled.
So just to check that I understood it, each of the boats/bobbins can only move in one specific way around the maypole, which is chosen when inserting the bobbin bei turning the nose of the boat left or right?
Exactly! One goes left, the next goes right and so on. Once they're on their designated path, they can not escape it. The feed slot is also closed after the machine is set up with a fitting piece of steel to prevent any error.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS GREAT VIDEO!!! AWESOME!!!
Hi Andreas, Diese Videos sind mittlerweile mehrere Jahre alt. Benutzen Sie die Maschine Heute noch?
Ja, hin und wieder ist sie im Einsatz!
very useful video to understand braiding technique, thank you very much
So detailed. Idea is clear. Thank you very much.
Very nice job with the machine. Have you used of the shelf gears for this or machined new ones? What is the OD on the gears?
Yes, they were a bargain wholesale and so I simply chose these. I'd have to measure, but I guess it was around 7cm.
What is driving your gears here? Are the 8 smaller gears driven by a larger gear to the side and then a hand crank is used? Also did you machine those notches in the gears for the pins to ride in? Thanks.
The gears are engaging each other and one of them is drivem by a 9th gear connected to a powerfull motor, taken from a welding machine wire feed. The notches are milled and you have to be careful to set these up right, so it's always a tooth and a gap meeting. This of course is easier with an even number of teeth on the gears.
Hi I know this is a long shot but any chance you would have the drawings on file for this? I'm keen to try and build one myself.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Haydn,
there's really no drawings, just some very confusing (to others) sketches that would be of no use to you, as these refer to the exact parts I used and I used those as they were available. You really just need to have an equal number of discs with recesses to take the slides and drive them with gears, belts or even chains. Almost no limitations here. The hardest thing would probably be machining of the slots in the top plate. You can see quite a bit of how I designed my version and there's really no great secret to it.
Maybe I'll make a video with pictures of the building process and some comments?!
Чертеж сами разрабатывали или есть в доступе где то?
I did it myself and sorry, no drawings available.
@@andreassiegler2238
Ok.
Hey, habe gerade dein Video mit Andy gesehen. Du bist der Hammer. So eine Maschine braucht die Welt. Bietest du deine Dienstleistung auch gewerblich an? Denk mal drüber nach denn nicht nur die Biker finden das geil. Viele Grüße
Danke! Gewerblich mache ich das nicht, aber wenn jemand eine coole Idee, oder Bedarf hat, kann man ja darüber reden.
thank you! Best and most pedagogic video ever! Love tools!
and would be a fairy simple matter to drop in another pair of bobbins, evenly spaced around, any number up to the available number of slots could be used.
This one will take a maximum number of 16. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/D1QKoLUxjeQ/w-d-xo.html
Can you please show how a 4 trand braider such as this would be made?
I would recreate this but it seems a bit complex to start with and I want to braid around really thin wires (earphone cables) to reinforce it.
That would be much appreciated.
I guess this would work pretty much the same way as this one. Problem could be the little space left between the wheels. All in all it's just two bobbins going clockwise an two going anti clockwise crossing their paths. in Prinzipal any even number of bobbins will work, but I would at least use six wheels and bobbins to clear the middle.
Awesome work, solid geometry
This is very pleasing to watch. Thank you.
What it is for?
It's used to braid hollow cords like shoelaces or hoodie drawstrings.
For braiding wiring harnesses -> link in description shows it. But one could allso use it for ropes, or something similar.
Very well explained. Thank you!
Incredible ! Thanks so much !
Muchas gracias x su video justo buscaba el funcionamiento interno de estas máquinas trenzados ya que voy a emprender un negocio donde debo hacer una trenza ,gracias ,un abrazo desde México
Awesome, thanks for making this.
Genius design! :D
Thank you indeed ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻🌸👍
really good video made so even I can understand how it works, so thanks a lot :D
Thank you this is a beautiful demonstration.
Thank you so much. I understand it a lot more now. Amazing.
Great. Thanks a lot.
thank you so much for explaining this!
Still can't explain why it's iny algorithm but that was interesting
Thank you so much for sharing this !
This is so cool! When you say "Wiring harnesses" do you mean for cable pulls? I've done contracting in low voltage areas, and I've always wanted a way to bundle cables and I thought this would be very helpful, is that what you do?
It's main purpose is to provide a hose-like braiding around wiring harnesses for vehicles, i.e. motorcycles. How this wpuld help in contracting, I don't know.
Ah, I see. Well, when you're running a lot of ethernet cables, there's only so much pipe. if you can get the cables bound together and in one piece, everything is neater, faster, and looks better, I think it would help a lot.
It's very helpful. Thank you.
Well nice job. Thanks for sharing.
All I can think of when watching this is the little engine oil viscosity display thing on the counter at the local auto parts store...
hi, good video, but it would be great to disassemble one of the eight covers, those that have two screws
Why? There's nothing much to see there. It's really just two turned pieces in which the inner ring of the sprocket's bearing is clamped between, and the "cover", or guide on top. On this bearing the sprocket turns freely and the whole assembly is nothing more than an axle. All eight are located in a way they engage each other in a cricle and a nineth sprocket is connectet to the motor that drives all of them.
Hello, I needed to see that detail, it is that I intend to replicate the machine in wood, thanks for the answer.
Here you can see how it's made:

Thank you
I will never look at a braided rope/cable in the same way again !
Great video! Thank you
Good Day Andreas! I am trying to make the same project. I can see you are more advanced. How did you make the gears with the recesses? Thank you!
The gears are standard hardware that you can get from most shops that specialise in engineering parts, like bearings, chains, belts etc. and the recesses are machined/milled. You'd also have to turn the seats for the bearings on a lathe.
Andreas Siegler
Thanks! It's good!
Thanks
wow nice
yhank yu so much
thnx🙏🌹❤️
put a second 1 in the opposing lane :D
Already done! th-cam.com/video/D1QKoLUxjeQ/w-d-xo.html
Where can i get this?
He made it from scratch, you can't 'get' it, unfortunately. See other similar requests before yours.
Oh no now i have to build my own braiding machibe, shucks
I want and need to see more!

Thanks for explaining this. Great video bud!
thank you~~~ 고마워 너 덕분에 궁금한게 해결됫어 haahjahahahah goooooooooooooooooooood~~~
Thnks 4 video
que interesante
Buenisimo
je veux travailler j'ai d experience
Who invented this? Eli Whitney? Robert Fulton?
I really don't have a clue, but it's very, very old ;-)
Thomas Walford in 1748, England. More here: loopbraider.com/2019/02/14/toy-braiding-machine/
You need 7 more bobbins
There's 15 more of them: th-cam.com/video/D1QKoLUxjeQ/w-d-xo.html
