Systems and methods for automatically producing a cord structure are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises automatically forming, with at least one robotic arm, a first plurality of loops in a first plane, and automatically forming, with the at least one robotic arm, a second plurality of loops in a second plane orthogonal to the first plane, the second plurality of loops slippably engaged with the first plurality of loops. In this way, cord structures may be quickly constructed, thereby reducing labor input and expense.

An elastic woven fabric comprising weft and warp yarns, the weft yarns including elastic composite yarns each of which comprises an elastic core yarn and a sheath yarn covering the elastic core yarn, and the warp yarns including chemical fiber yarns and/or natural fiber yarns. Each of the elastic composite yarns is in a form of a singly-covered yarn in which the elastic core yarn is covered by a single layer of the sheath yarn helicoidally wound around a periphery of the elastic core yarn, a number of turns of the sheath yarn per 1 meter of the elastic core yarn being in a range of 1,000 to 2,500 T/m. A stretching magnification ratio of each of the elastic composite yarns, in the elastic woven fabric in a weaving process, is retained equal to or less than 1.30 folds based on the elastic composite yarn before weaving.

A circular loom for weaving a weaving core along a weaving axis with at least one shuttle, which comprises a weft thread spool and is movable along a circular orbit path around the weaving core. The orbit path is formed of first track segments arranged one after the other along its circumference and at least one movably arranged or designed guide device is provided, which guides at least one warp thread provided from a warp thread spool on a warp spool device and on which at least a first track segment of the orbit path and at least a second track segment alternatively assignable to the orbit path are arranged and guided, where in the guided absence of the first and second track segment from the orbit path the guided warp thread, crossing the track plane, passes through the orbit path.
