Abstract

The subject of this study is the needle thread take-up mechanisms (NTТM) of modern chain stitch sewing machines of classes 400 and 600. The principal issue with these mechanisms is the complexity of their adjustment because of the large number of adjustable parameters and the need for clear recommendations for proper setup, which negatively affects their performance.

The research involved analyzing the impact of NTTM’s kinematic parameters and various thread path configurations in machines. The study revealed new patterns that allow for more precise thread take-up regulation, enabling better synchronization of the actual thread take-up with the required amount, thereby improving stitch quality and increasing sewing process productivity. Accurate thread take-up adjustment prevents excessive or insufficient thread tension, a common issue when sewing materials with variable thickness or stitch length.

The results can be used to adjust sewing machines and automate the tuning of technological processes by changing the adjustment parameters with variations in technological parameters. This is particularly important in producing 3D textile structures for reinforcing composite molds, where adjusting for average material thickness can cause thread tension issues when the current thickness changes. The practical application of these results will ensure stable sewing quality based on stitch parameters, which is relevant for automating machine settings and working with materials of varying thicknesses. The proposed recommendations will improve the manufacturing process and increase equipment efficiency
