Wire Braiding Machine
We handle Kyoritsu brand Wire Braiding Machines manufactured by Kyoritsu Co., Ltd. Carriers and replacement parts are also available for sale.
A Wire Braiding Machine is designed to braid metal wires, resin wires, yarns, and other materials around a core material to form a tubular structure. This process provides products such as hoses and electrical wires with reinforcement and shielding functions. Wire Braiding Machines are widely used in the manufacturing of products for various industries, including automotive, wire and cable, medical equipment, and consumer goods.
There are two major types of Wire Braiding Machines: Maypole-type machines, which support a wide variety of braiding patterns, and rotary-type machines, which are designed for high-speed braiding. The appropriate machine type is selected according to the intended application and production requirements.
Kyoritsu Co., Ltd. is Japan’s leading manufacturer of high-speed rotary-type Wire Braiding Machines, providing braiding technologies and equipment to meet a wide range of applications.
