Presentation of one-head/multi head embroidery machines

Single or multi head embroidery machines belong to the category of textile machinery.

How does an embroidery machine work?

An embroidery machine allows the user to create patterns, as well as personal and freeform designs on a raw textile material. First, the logo/picture or form to create has to be designed on a computer. Then, the machine will read and understand the computer program and translate it in order to create the form into the material. The file of the logo/form design can be available on a computer, or it can be digitized with the help of a scanner. Many parameters have to be taken into account, including stitch density, stitch direction, stitch distance, and stitch pattern.

Both one head and multi head machines are available. A one head machine has only one embroidery tool. This means that the machine works on one product at a time. A multi head machine can work on several products simultaneously. With Exapro, you can find machines from 1 to 50+ heads. Multi head machines are interesting in terms of time and money. A multi head can produce up to 50 products at a time. This allows it to produce an economy of scale, but the machine itself will be more expensive.

These machines can be used on many materials, such as cotton, leather, polyester, and synthetic fibres.

Advantages of one head/multi head machine

The one head machine is more affordable, but can only operate on one product at a time. On the other hand, the multi head machine can save time and money, but would be more expensive to purchase initially. Design skills are an asset when it comes to understanding the embroidery process. These machines are very reliable and can support long time production cycle.

The machine operates on these main parameters:

• Heads
• Colours
• Embroidery length in mm
• Embroidery width in mm
• Nbr of shuttles
• Max (Points/min)

You can also narrow down the results based on the location of the machine, year of the equipment and the machine’s manufacturer.
