"Sewing Machines And Processes | Mechanical Engineering

Sewing Machines and Processes presents modern engineering fundamentals of sewing processes and machines for the complete spectrum of sewing stitches. The book covers the construction working principles and the mechanics of single systems such as needle motion thread tension and compensation devices material transportation and grippers and knives. Describing elements for chain stitch overlock covering stitches with multiple needles the book also discusses their kinematic analysis using modern numerical methods and software. Additional focus is given to the thread motion dynamics tension measurement and quality assurance. Readers will learn the main factors for issues with sewing quality and be able to use and adjust modern industrial and household machines for textiles and composites. The book will interest researchers studying and working in the apparel industry and textile production/manufacturing. It will also benefit graduate students taking courses in Apparel Technology Sewing Technology Sewing Processes and Joining Technology of Textiles.
