How Machine Weaves Soft Cable Armor 🧵

Description:

A yellow mesh-like structure forms as the machine braids layers of thread around a bundle of cables, creating a flexible protective sheath. The worker only needs to check alignment while the machine spins the threads automatically with precise tension control. This braided outer shell works like a soft chain-mail jacket, protecting cables from wear, bending stress, and electromagnetic interference. It’s commonly used in robot joints and medical equipment where wires must bend repeatedly without failing. Compared with molded plastic covers, braided sheaths offer better flexibility, faster heat dissipation, and longer service life. Many industrial systems rely on this structure because stable signal transmission is critical for automation accuracy and medical reliability
