How Do They Braid Rope? 

I used to work in a factory. Some of the sounds instantly prompted my memory of work . it always had a soothing sensibility to the work when one found himself immersed in the rhythm of sound and images of the mechanical beauty that factories ken show at times.

It’s kind of mind mind blowing how the machine does the work it does.

There is a post around here showing in detail how the braiding machine works and how it is used to braid a cover around the wiring harness of an antique automobile. The process is fascinating and the machine mmore so.

Excellent vid and a well done to the crew and thanks to the Mfg. for access. Camera,editing,sound is seriously good. I will never complain about the price of rope again.

Used to think I like Ande monofilament but this stuff is much better to work with. Less memory and more supple. Great for the price

. Amazing sound effects to go along with the amazing machines. Wow.

Hi, braiding is a centuries old craft, if you want to try braiding manually, search for kumihimo.

Got mesmerized.

How things are made. Awesome.

I guess there's two different kinds of "how". If you came here looking for an explanation of the process through which rope is braided, you've come to the wrong place. This is merely description of the process with no explanation of any step taken or method used.

It goes without saying, the machinery is more impressive than the product.

Wow, an SFX artist would have a awesome time recording all these motor/machine noises! They sound really cool :D

I can't keep getting amazed...

That was incredible!

For all you clueless people. They show how it's done in the clip. That's it. Personally I think industrial machines like these are a work of art.

The cost will be high and the rupture strength will be affected. But it's very practical.

"How they Braid a Rope" requires a slow, detailed description of the mechanism that moves the bobbins, and of the pattern of their movement. This does not show that at all. It shows finished product, and winding bobbins, but not one shot of moving the bobbins around each other to braid the rope. So bad! So frustrating.

And yet again... RU-vid has lead me into a totally random tangent of videos : D

neat!

If you know how to braid by hand then you should generally understand the purpose of the motions the machinery is making and why it is designed as such.

so informative

that's kind of how I thought I would do it if I had to braid some rope. thumbs up for the NFB!

The folly in this video is pretty good

looks awesome

Здорово!

I wish I had this thing doing my hair.

Wow! So exactly how do they braid rope?

this was too much to take all at once. im going to have to watch this definitely 5 more times..

what type of production process is this? Flow, Batch, Mass, Job-shop? Does anyone know.. It's for business class

looks funny when they spin

it is mesmerising

Interesting

This was clearly made by an artist, not an engineer.

That's nuts

this is nuts

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE ROPE

Wow. I just want to cut a few threads just to see how long it takes to fix.

Those things could make a whip in minutes!!

I need to get out more.

Twist ending

rope is dope :o

whoa are they?

I almost fell off my chair because I was so out of it.

So this is what happened to How It's Made.

How? They use a mucking great machine. So now I know.

wow are they normal speed or fast-forwarded?

IS THIS NATIONAL FILM BOARD OR BOARDS OF CANADA? HARDEE HAR HAR.

i always wonder how they make ropes

right then.,so how do they make hockey pucks? I heard they out sourced to China.

Well, this clip just doesn't show... HOW the braiding machine works! It would be fine to see what happpens below the macine, that is, how the thread spools are put in motion.

It seems like all the people complaining about how the video didn’t show how ropes are braided are asking for a video about how the machine that braids the ropes work rather than how the ropes themselves are braided. The video clearly shows how ropes are braided. If you watch the machine, it shows the motion that is required to braid a rope. It’s not hard to understand. If you want to know how the machine works, search up “How do rope braiding machines work?” instead of “How do they braid ropes?”. Trust me, there’s a difference between the two.

Now put cheese through it like on Mousehunt!

who is they

i think that machine must be pretty lonely

Am i the only one that gets depressed of looking at this? O.o

SO how do they braid rope?

Do they check visitors for scissors?

They did it better back in 1829.

ขอบคุณครับที่ได้เห็นการผลิต

i don't even wanna know how to they braid rope

Don't have a damn clue what just happened

Ron Paul 2012!

and then seagulls...

Oh nit! Diba 2000/1/1 yan?

Uau

If you can't understand how rope is made after watching this, yours a damn fool.

Sorry , to high to watch this ! I'M OUT TANANAN

im too high for this shit

at ang ident ng nfb ay 1993 yan!

i thought this was done by kids in china

lollllllllll

Iluminaty.nothingness and deppreshen

Of ALL the ways to waste my time....
