Abstract:
A textile production monitoring system includes an electronic device connected with a sewing machine, and with sensors connected with the knife, the pedal, the motor tach of the sewing machine, and with the needle, the sensors transmitting signals to the electronic device. A microprocessor evaluates the four signals received from the sensors in a coordinated way. A software possessing a four-signal algorithm generates information about the products, information on which operator works on which machines for how long, how much product they produce, failure status, and machine efficiency. An Rfid module is connected with the electronic device for monitoring the information and working status of the personnel working on the sewing machine. At least one barcode reader allows for entering information on which order the product sewn in the sewing machine belongs to. A wireless connection module facilitates transfer of the information from the electronic device and the microprocessor wirelessly.
Abstract:
A method is provided for embroidering embroidery elements by means of a processor-controlled sewing machine (1). The method includes: the fabric (2) that is to be embroidered is placed in the required position in relation to a threaded needle (5) on the sewing machine; a plurality of embroidery elements (A, B, C) in the form of software products having pre-programmed embroideries are provided; a group of said embroidery elements, defined as stitch data objects in a memory (M), is selected; an arbitrary curve (KU) along which said group of embroidery elements (A, B, C) shall be embroidered on said fabric (2) is defined by the operator of the sewing machine; said embroidery elements of said group are distributed in a spaced relationship along said curve utilizing a positioning algorithm. According to the method of the invention, a coupling between the embroidery elements of the group and the arbitrary curve is preserved during the full processing by said positioning algorithm.
Abstract:
The present invention is an improved method for automatically generating chain stitching in a computer aided design system in which the shape to be filled is a complex polygon. The medial axis of the polygon is determined, concentric polygons are then constructed and sorted and the chain stitches are placed on the perimeter of the concentric polygons. The chain stitches can be used to completely fill a stitch pattern, such as an embroidery stitch pattern, or in conjunction with other stitching, such as chenille stitching in an embroidery pattern.
Abstract:
Control data such as data designating the order of changing color of thread, conversion parameter designating reducing or enlarging of an embroidery design and data designating the number of repetitions of the same design are set to desired states and these control data are stored in a memory in correspondence to storage of stitch data of a desired embroidery design. By designating a desired embroidery design when this embroidery design should be embroidered, the control data sorted in correspondence to this design are read from the memory and controlling of the embroidering operation and changing of stitch data are made in accordance with the read out data. When stitch data of an embroidery design is input from an external memory device to an internal memory device, stitch data of plural embroidery designs can be combined into stitch data of a single embroidery design and this combined stitch data can be stored in the internal memory device. Further, for editing the embroidery design, running of the embroidering machine can be temporarily stopped at a desired stitch during running for actual embroidering operation to change the operation mode to an embroidery design data editing mode while confirming an actually embroidered design pattern. During this temporary stopping, data editing processing such as changing, deletion or insertion of stitch data at the desired stitch is executed.
Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed relating to a control system of an embroidering machine controlled by a microcomputer for stitching names or other patterns.
Abstract:
An automatic embroidery machine capable of switching to stitch urgently required patterns although the machine is scheduled to stitch patterns previously input through a central processing unit from random access memory. The urgently required patterns are given priority by input of a priority code, a discrimination code corresponding to the required pattern, a stop code, etc., during current stitch work.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for manufacturing a garment, include: receiving garment design input data for a garment design including data representing a first textile structural unit at a first location and data representing a second textile structural unit at a second location; generating a textile production machine instruction data set based on the garment design input data; forming a first garment using a first textile production machine to include the first textile structural unit and the second textile structural unit; creating revised garment design input data for the garment design based on the first garment based on receiving additional body map data relating to the first garment; generating revised textile production machine instruction data set based on the revised garment design input data; and forming a second garment using a textile production machine and the revised garment design input data including the changes to the garment design.
Abstract:
Computer-implemented method for determining a tension value of a limb of a person, the tension value of the limb being used along with a skin value of the limb for production of a custom-tailored compression garment for the limb, the skin value describing the circumference of the limb without any applied compression and the tension value describing the circumference of the limb with the compression garment applying a desired compression, wherein the skin value of the limb is received and the tension value of the limb is calculated from the skin value according to a calculation instruction parametrized by at least one parameter, the parameter being derived from a dataset comprising multiple associated tuples of skin values and tension values.
