SEWING MACHINE WITH TRADITIONAL DRIVING MEANS PERMANENTLY ORIENTED IN THE DIRECTION OF SEAM UNDER ELECTRONICAL CONTROL

Objective


A prototype has been developed in which the upper sewing mechanism (needle bar and upper feed dog) and the lower one (hook and lowed feed dog) are assured by 2 independent DC motors controller in phase, without any mechanical connection.
To obtain the best quality seam in automatic sewing systems, requires that the whole sewing mechanism rotates to keep the stitch forming device always tangent to the seam path. A mechanical device has been developed employing differential mechanism, but the resulting machine is complicated and cumbersome. In the proposed project the motions of the upper sewing mechanism (needle-bar and upper feed-dog) and the lower one (hook and lower feed-dog) are assured by two independent DC motors controlled in phase, without any mechanical connection.
The rotation around a vertical axis of the upper and lower mechanism is obtained by means of two DC motors. The sample to be sewn is moved along two perpendicular directions X and Y axes are interpolated and the speed tangent to the seam-path is kept proportional to the rotation velocity of the sewing head to obtain constant stitch length. The new automatic unit will be appreciated especially in the leather goods industry, with possibilities of applications also in the clothing industry in general.
