A Brief Discussion on the Development of Automated Sewing Machines

The demand for clothing industry technology is constantly changing, and fully automatic sewing machines are not only too expensive, but their applicability is often limited by clothing technology, and their various advantages cannot be fully utilized. On the other hand, semi-automatic sewing machines have strong adaptability to clothing technology, relatively low cost, and are within the affordable range of users. Therefore, they have been widely welcomed by clothing enterprises and other customers in recent years.

From the development history of sewing machines, people have always hoped to invent powerful sewing machines to replace ordinary sewing machines, freeing people from heavy labor and solving the practical contradiction of labor shortage; From the trend of sewing machine development, there are two types of sewing machines: one is fully automatic sewing equipment, and the other is semi-automatic sewing equipment; From the perspective of actual usage effect, fully automatic sewing machines do not have as many advantages as semi-automatic sewing machines in fierce market competition; From a theoretical perspective, the higher the degree of automation and easier operation of sewing machine equipment, the more popular it should be.

But the reality is that the demand for technology in the clothing industry is constantly changing, and fully automatic sewing machines are not only too expensive, but their applicability is often limited by clothing technology, and their various advantages cannot be fully utilized.

On the other hand, semi-automatic sewing machines have strong adaptability to clothing technology, relatively low cost, and are within the affordable range of users. Therefore, they have been widely welcomed by clothing enterprises and other customers in recent years.

Features of fully automatic sewing machine
As is well known, the sewing machine can automatically complete the sewing process by the operator placing the sewing material in the appropriate position and pressing the start button. After the sewing process is completed, the fully automatic sewing machine cuts the thread and stacks the sewing material neatly through the receiving system. If further, the cyclic feeding process of the equipment can also be automatically completed.

In general, one operator can operate 2 to 3 fully automatic sewing machines. The characteristics of a fully automatic sewing machine are: the staff places the fabric, presses the start button, and the machine automatically controls the fabric. After sewing and cutting the thread, the sewn products are stacked in sequence; A sewing cycle can complete a relatively complex sewing process; The sewing machine automatically picks up the fabric, senses the presence or absence of fabric, automatically places it and completes the sewing process; Some machines are also equipped with a cyclic feeding system.

In addition, the fully automatic sewing machine itself has strong pertinence, high production efficiency, and good sewing quality. For example: bag opening machine, bag sticking machine, etc.

Characteristics of semi-automatic sewing machine
The operator places the sewing material near the sewing position and completes the sewing process with manual assistance by stepping on the start button of the semi-automatic sewing machine or automatically starting it through an induction device. After the sewing process is completed, the semi-automatic sewing machine cuts the thread and manually collects the material.

In general, one operator can operate one semi-automatic sewing machine. According to the author's summary, the characteristics of semi-automatic sewing machines are: semi-automatic sewing machines require operators to place the sewing material near the sewing position; The entire sewing process is completed with manual assistance; Equipped with automatic cutting and other devices.

Semi automatic sewing machines also have the advantages of high production efficiency and good sewing quality, such as automatic overlock machines, automatic pattern machines, etc.
