Due to social changes such as “declining birthrate” and “digitalization”, it is difficult to secure new factory workers, which has become a serious problem at apparel manufacturing sites. Tajima has developed i-TM (Tajima's original AI technology) that enables "automation of finish" as one of the solutions. We hope that it will help improve the working environment so that everyone in the embroidery business can operate the factory efficiently.
i-TM = Automatic Upper Thread Tenshion Adjustment by AI
The tension part that adjusts the thread tightening has been eliminated, and the AI function "i-TM" that controls the needle thread has been placed.
Conventional embroidery machine
Conventional problem
- Embroidery trouble due to untwisting
- Requires operator experience and skills
- The finish is disjointed
- The fabric tends to shrink when embroidered
- It is necessary to adjust the thread tightening when the thread is replaced.
i-TM is installed in place of conventional thread tenshion knobs.
In the past, most users perform trial sewing before main production to adjust the tone, but in the case of i-TM-equipped machines, the trial sewing time (preparation process) can be significantly reduced and that time can be used for main production. I will. This model is especially effective at production sites that handle finished products with different fabric thicknesses and stretches, such as hats, T-shirts, patches, shoes, and socks.
Compatible with various types and thicknesses of embroidery threads such as rayon, polyester, gold thread, and cotton thread. Beautiful embroidery is finished without being affected by the thread type.
Conventionally, when the operator adjusts the tightness of the needle thread, it is necessary to get used to the analog feeling. The adjustment differs depending on the thread type. In the case of i-TM, the needle thread adjustment is not required, which supports the operator and reduces the time required for training on the factory side.
A lineup of single-headed embroidery machines and multi-headed cylinder type embroidery machines, all equipped with i-TM.
