Saurer is presenting the intelligent, fully-fledged embroidery solution that offers a wide range of customisation options for customers, the Epoca 7 shuttle embroidery machine, at ITMA 2019 expo, in hall 6, booth B201, from June 20-26, 2019, in Barcelona. The embroidery machine features enhanced automation technology and a new application device.

Epoca 7 also incorporates modernised CAD/CAM design software and a new mill management system. It sets new standards in terms of productivity, with an increase of up to 25 per cent compared to its predecessor. It also boasts a speed of up to 700 rpm. The machine requires 5 per cent less energy than its forerunner, even when machine speed is increased by 18 per cent. In terms of savings, this gives the customer the edge to total cost of ownership, according to Saurer.

The new automatic rear carriage adjustment helps in reducing the machine setting time. The rear carriage width can be set automatically according to the yarn properties, resulting in a substantial reduction in yarn breaks. The intelligent thread watcher SmartMon drives the precise and fast detection of yarn breaks, on both shuttle and needle side, which drastically lowers mending costs by up to 70 per cent. In an environment where cotton is used, cotton dust pollutes the machine, resulting in early wear of the moving parts. With the new overhead cleaner – CleanGuard, this phenomenon is significantly reduced.

The HeadLine system with sequin, cord and the new LaserHead redefines and pushes the boundaries of embroidery applications and designs. The laser technology drives the precise cutting of virtually all synthetic and natural fabrics.

EmStudio incorporates all design workflow from sketch to production on a single platform. This modern tool provides the full solution from embroidery drawing, punching, visualisation of the design, product optimisation and productivity analysis to archiving design with information and machine settings. The intelligent stitch editor iSed optimises the quality of embroidery stiches.

Senses is a new innovative control and analysis tool. Senses allows to collect and analyse the production, quality and machine data. The advantage is total transparency and the optimisation of production processes. The result is enhanced efficiency and increased profitability. (GK)
