Abstract
This discussion addresses the application of mechatronics to braiding processes, particularly, those processes that afford a measure of flexibility in controlling braid patterns. The ideas presented here grew out of an effort at Clemson University to develop an idealized, three-dimensional braider and which relied heavily on the application of mechatronics. The impetus for the study was the need for complex and variable yam patterns in textile preforms used for fiber reinforced composite materials [6,11].
