Abstract:
A method of applying stitching to an interior component, the method including the steps of: penetrating an outer skin layer, a substrate layer and an intermediary layer with an awl to form a piercing therethrough; retracting the awl from the outer skin layer, the substrate layer and the intermediary layer; inserting a needle of a robotic sewing head through the piercing through the layers to grasp a thread positioned on the outer skin layer; pulling the thread through the outer skin layer, the intermediary layer and the substrate layer; looping the thread with a previous stitch passed through the outer skin layer, the intermediary layer and the substrate layer; advancing the robotic sewing head to another position with respect to the interior component, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and repeating the steps until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.
Abstract:
A method of applying stitching to an interior component is provided herein. The interior component having only a single layer of a substrate layer. The method including the steps of: a) penetrating substrate layer with an awl to form a piercing therethrough; b) retracting the awl from the substrate layer; c) inserting a needle of a robotic sewing head through the piercing through the substrate layer to grasp a thread positioned on a show surface of the outer skin layer; d) pulling the thread through the substrate layer; e) looping the thread with a previous stitch passed through the substrate layer; f) advancing the robotic sewing head to another position with respect to the interior component, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and g) repeating steps a-f until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.

The method including the steps of: a) penetrating substrate layer with an awl of a sewing head to form a piercing therethrough; b) retracting the awl from the substrate layer; c) inserting a needle of the same sewing head through the piercing through the substrate layer to grasp a thread positioned on a show surface of the outer skin layer; d) pulling the thread through the substrate layer; e) looping the thread with a previous stitch passed through the substrate layer; f) advancing the sewing head to another position with respect to the interior component, wherein a backside of the substrate layer is free of obstructions; and g) repeating steps a-f until a predetermined amount of stitches are applied to the interior component.
