1. A rotational braiding machine (100) having:
a plurality of first braiding material carriers (200a), which are arranged around a common braiding center of the rotational braiding machine (100) and are each designed to carry a braiding material to be braided in the common braiding center;
a plurality of second braiding material carriers (200b), which are arranged around the common braiding center of the rotational braiding machine (100) and are each designed to carry a braiding material to be braided in the common braiding center;
a movement unit, which is arranged and designed to move relocating elements (300) associated respectively with the first braiding material carriers between a first position and a second position in each case, wherein each of the relocating elements (300) is able to raise the braiding material in the first position such that at least one of the plurality of second braiding material carriers (200b) can pass under the raised braiding material, and wherein each of the relocating elements (300) is able to lower the braiding material in the second position such that at least one of the plurality of second braiding material carriers (200b) can pass over the lowered braiding material, wherein the movement unit has a rotatable cam ring (400) or is designed as a rotatable cam ring (400);
a drive, which is designed to:
drive the plurality of first braiding material carriers (200a) such that they rotate in a first rotation direction about the common braiding center, and
drive the plurality of second braiding material carriers (200b) such that they rotate in a second rotation direction different from the first rotation direction about the common braiding center;
wherein the drive has a cam ring drive (900), which is designed to drive the cam ring (400) such that the cam ring (400) rotates in the first rotation direction about the common braiding center at the cam ring rotational speed;
a controller, which is designed to:
control the movement unit such that the movement of at least one of the relocating elements (300) is adjustable.
