摘要： Various examples are provided related to face identification of material. An image can be captured by a vision system and feature parameters determined and compared to a material feature database to determine which face of the material is being presented. The vision system can employ a set of parameters for configuration to acquire the image. The system can communicate the identification to downstream processes in real time. A near-universal, color agnostic, angular orientation independent identification of material faces can be determined without the need for physical manipulation of the material.

摘要： Material moving apparatus, systems and methods are presented which can include an air material mover. Airflow through orifices can create a localized vacuum such that the uppermost or top layer of material can be separated from the stack of material. The airflow can interact with the material to produce flutter, which assists in separating lower layers from the uppermost layer. A material gripper can grip the uppermost or top layer of material for removal from the stack and repositioning in a work area.

摘要： Due to rapid advancement in computing technology of both hardware and software, the labor intensive sewing process has been transformed into a technology-intensive automated process. During an automated process, product materials may become wrinkled or folded, which can slow down the automated process or result in human intervention. Various examples are provided related to the automation of sewing robots, and removal of wrinkles from products. Images of material on a work table can be captured and analyzed to determine if there are wrinkles or folds in the product. The robot can remove the wrinkle or fold by manipulating the material through the use of end effectors such as, e.g., budgers.

摘要： Various examples are provided related to attachment of bands about a garment opening. In one example, among others, a sleeve band can be attached to a garment by loading the sleeve band on a band guide, aligning an opening of a garment over the sleeve band, and attaching the band to the garment along the edge of the opening. Alignment of the edges of the opening and the sleeve band can be maintained by ply aligners during attachment. In another example, a garment holding system includes a garment holder that can receive a garment and a band positioning system includes a band guide that can receive a band. Edges of the opening of the garment and the band can be controlled and maintained with ply aligners of the band positioning system.

摘要： Various examples are provided related to attachment of bands such as, e.g., collar or neck bands, sleeve bands, wrist bands, waist bands and ankle bands, etc. to a garment opening. In one example, among others, a band can be attached to a garment by loading the band between rollers in a joining position, positioning an opening of a garment extending between control surface mandrels over the band, and attaching the band to the garment along the edge of the opening.

摘要： Various examples are provided related to automation of pallet loading. In one example, a method includes positioning, by a material manipulator, an opening of a product; inserting a product loading assembly of a pallet loading system through an opening of the product, where the product loading assembly can hold the product during manipulation of the product and the pallet loading system can position the product for loading on a pallet; and transferring the product onto the pallet using the product loading assembly. The product can be a portion of a product or a garment or portion of a garment. The product can be smoothed on a surface of the pallet. The pallet can secure the product to the pallet by a pallet clamp. The product on the pallet can be embellished by processing equipment or workstation.
