Abstract
The strand guiding device is designed for a circular braiding machine having a braiding point (,) and a first spool (,) for a first strand (,) fed to said braiding point (,). The strand guiding device for strand guiding includes a guide part or guide device (,) for the first strand arranged between the first spool (,) and the braiding point (,), which is movable back and forth to cross the first strand (,) over at least one second strand (,) coming from a respective second spool (,) so that a length of a section of the first strand (,) between the first spool and the braiding point (,) continuously changes, and a device for compensating changes in the length of that section. The device for compensating includes at least one movable guide element (,) for the first strand (,) arranged between the first spool (,) and the guide part or guide device (,) and a positive guiding device (,) for moving the at least one movable guide element (,), whereby the length changes are at least partially compensated by motions of the at least one movable guide element. A circular braiding machine is also described which is equipped with this type of strand length change compensating device.
