Pattern design with the variation braider VF of company herzog GmbH

Abstract

This paper presents an overview about the patterning possibilities of the new variational braider of the company Herzog GmbH. Presented are two practical examples with the sequences of their programing and some issues about the programming with the user interface. Some configurations for production of flat braids are checked using simulation software TexMind Braiding Machine Configurator. It is found that regular flat braids with three carriers and irregular flat braids with four carriers can be produced with the machine as well.
