These hoses enable the overlacing from solid bodies such as wood or thermoplastics with diameters of up to 50 mm. The objects to be woven are fed directly into the weaving machine via a gripping mechanism on a robotic arm. The structures can be either convex as well as concave By adjusting the weaving angles, it is possible to create differently shaped, rotationally symmetrical, straight and curved bodies. close-fitting and form-fitting envelope. Individual diameters are also possible.
