Innovative Automated Stretch Elastic Waistband Sewing Machine for Garment Manufacturing
By: Prof Dr Ray Wai Man Kong
Potential Business Impact:
Sewing machine makes stretchy waistbands faster, better.
There is applied research for the development of the Automated Stretch Elastic Waistband Sewing Machine represents a significant advancement in garment manufacturing, addressing the industry's need for increased efficiency, precision, and adaptability. This machine integrates innovative features such as a sensor-based automatic waistband expansion system, synchronized sewing speed and rolling wheel speed, and a differential feed top-loading mechanism. These enhancements streamline the sewing process, reduce manual intervention, and ensure consistent product quality. The machine's design incorporates both 3-wheel and 2-wheel rolling systems, each optimized for different elastic band dimensions and elongation factors. The 3-wheel rolling system accommodates a larger maximum boundary, while the 2-wheel rolling system offers a tighter operational range, providing flexibility to meet diverse manufacturing requirements. The Automated Stretch Elastic Waistband Sewing Machine has a design that controls the pulling apart force so as not to break the elastic waistband. It sets a new standard for quality and innovation, empowering manufacturers to meet the demands of a competitive market with precision and ease.
