Abstract

A method and a device for braiding a rigid core with a braided structure with at least largely heavy-duty fibers and having regions with a differing number of layers. The device has a braiding machine, a linear displacing apparatus between the core and the braiding machine and a guiding apparatus for temporarily placing at least one element onto the uppermost layer of the braided structure in an automated manner, the at least one element having on the end face a defined stiff edge about which a braiding reversal may be created.
