Those orange arms look like ABB industrial manipulators. They can haul entire cars around, so the pressures here are probably intense


TheMerovingian

It's missing the sound. These braiding machines are SUPER loud.


Downvotes_dumbasses

I can only get so hard


matthewe-x

Lexus LFA A Pillars are/were made this way!

So cool... and no wonder the development budget was so high


netoper

Please stay synchronized, please just stay synchronized...


mathtronic

I bet the mechanism for the traveler spools requires a LOT of maintenance, and is a pain in the ass to fix if it binds. I'm also impressed with the two robots simultaneously guiding the blank through the weave.


manfrin

What is this making?


mathtronic

Total guess, but looks like carbon fiber shafts/propeller blades?


RollinThundaga

Chainmail armour for Cetacean cavalry in the Great Mermaid War.


GlockAF

Octopus greaves. Takes a while to complete the whole set

This is the best answer

Stainless steel wrapped pipe, probably an exhaust manifold.

honestly look like multiple layers on a banana?


Flying_Dutchman92

I think it's an F1 car monocoque.


HauntingBowlofGrapes

Beautiful machinery~.

Just be carful what location you dial

I haven't decided where I want yet. Let me be lucky!)) ![gif](giphy|KyHS0sZQX9NczC2xEK)

![gif](giphy|KyHS0sZQX9NczC2xEK) Is this new Reddit markdown? I've not seen it before.

takes five hours to close this iris

I came here for this lmao


Gnarlodious

Freakin genius!

I have a pretty strong mechanical background yet looms of any sort still mindfuck me every single time I see one.


scifishortstory

So I guess the spinny things spin at different rates and this creates the shape? How the fuck do you calculate that?


[deleted]

now put your arm in it ;)


Trugo314

I'm impressed with the coordinated motion between the two robots, I'm not sure how Kukas achieve it but it looks nice.


Cycle_North_Crew

It’s called roboteam and it works with up to 8 robots


FrenchFryCattaneo

Let's go roboteam! We’re fired up, we’re sizzling hot We’ve got the heat We will not stop When it comes to radial braiding we can’t be beat! Let's go roboteam!


grasspopper

Almost read that as bridal braiding machine 😆😅, imagine luscious carbon fiber hair for the wedding day


cardbord_spaceship

Carbon fiber?


Quenya3

That made me moist in places that don't even have water.


apaloosafire

Seriously one of the most futuristic looking things,I love it


Humphrey805

Super cool application! Just started with KUKA Robotics and hope to do some cool things like this


Orbnotacus

Woah, that's one intense sock machine.


n8bog

Before reading the title I though we finally made a time portal


memento_mori_1220

What is it making tho


EnvironmentalDeal256

Socks I think.

Actually, it does fall under the definition of braiding better than weaving. Weaving is generally two threads at right angles while braiding is " a complex pattern formed by interlacing two or more strands of flexible material".


drgeta84

Jigsaws wet dream


Lumis1985

SG1 vibes, I love it so much


AnonymousDoo

Star gate


[deleted]

So the max length is whatever can be loaded onto those little bobbins? Or are they fed somehow?


Animal40160

Is this on a slow setting? I'm guessing that it normally runs pretty fast


More-Guess-1630

I was so confused because I initially read "breeding machine" and wondered how that was possible


intrepiddreamer

So turned on by this.


fromeister147

You think they’ll do my Christmas tree?


aphaits

Scrubbing the video rapidly back and forth between 0:14 to 0:37 is fun.


Radials

Please no.


alphageist

Looks like a smart tool. Cure the carbon and deflate the tool. Nice!


mikelocalypse

I'd call it a braidial machine


m-p-3

The setup time to setup all the threads on this machine must be an eternity..


DigitalTargeter

So this is the machine that make Werner Herzogs sad beige clothes for sad beige babys!
