Overview
This document provides technical specifications and features of the 12/574 braiding machine designed for producing large diameter ropes ranging from 16 mm to 70 mm. It bridges the gap between the E432 and E680 models, capable of braiding ropes up to 220 meters in length and 55 mm in diameter without splicing.

Housing and Frame
The machine's lower housing is constructed from rolled and weldable steel, featuring an oil bath with a motorized pump for lubrication. It includes Ø574 mm horn gears with a hardness of 610 Brinell. The overall frame is made of rolled plate with two columns and a dismountable upper frame, reaching a height of 4565 mm.

Take Off System
An independent take-off system is integrated into the frame, featuring a Ø700 mm capstan for producing ropes up to 70 mm in diameter. It is operated by a 0.55 Kw reducer motor with variable speed control and emergency stop features.

Carrier Specifications
The carrier gauge is 574, with bobbins measuring Ø305x660 mm and a capacity of 46.355 cm³. It includes hardened steel components for durability and efficiency, with features to detect bobbin run-out and adjust tension.

Braiding Point
The braiding point includes a multidirectional anti-tangling switch and a braiding point detector for diameters up to 85 mm. It features a motorized height adjustment system and is equipped with tempered guides for stability.

Electric Control Panel
The control panel is equipped with two frequency shifters, a PLC, and a 7’’ touch screen for comprehensive control of braiding parameters. It includes features for entering helix/pitch, RPM control, and a database for product parameters.
