Braided Mesh Threading and Plastic Tube Machines

Threading is what happens after the braid exists: wires are passed through a braided mesh sleeve, or a plastic tube is drawn over a finished bundle so the harness gains mechanical protection. Both are feeding problems rather than forming problems, and both fail in the same way when done by hand — the sleeve twists, the pitch varies, or the bundle stops short of the required length. The sizing inputs are mesh or tube inner diameter, bundle diameter and total threaded length, and the mesh pitch if the sleeve must be expanded to pass over connectors. This line is also specified with the wire threading and injection machines that follow it in the same assembly.
