There’s good reason to consider doing so, says Steven Kaplan, president of S. Kaplan Sewing Machine Co. Inc. Headquartered in Newark, N.J., the company is a worldwide distributer of heavy-duty sewing machines to non-apparel industries.
But without adequate planning and preparation, the endeavor to become more versatile can backfire, resulting in businesses taking on expenses that don’t end up bringing in a good return on investment (ROI), especially if they have to hire more workers. Offering both can also mean entering somewhat unfamiliar manufacturing territory, leading to possible product failures; for example, when an item should have been sewn but was sealed instead, or vice versa. Evaluating, purchasing and learning to operate
Many realities factor into the decision about whether it makes sense to add sewing or sealing to your menu of services. One of these is the kind of projects you anticipate attracting by doing so. For example, says Evling, welded seams, rather than sewn, are typically superior for products that must be water -or tair-tight. They’re also likely the best route for medical applications involving antimicrobial requirements. Products destined for extreme weather are also good candidates for welding, she says, as thread might be prone to degradation under particularly harsh conditions.
In fact, a welded seam can be stronger at the seam than the one-ply material itself, While many threads are very strong today, the fact that the material must be punctured in a sewing process makes it weaker at each stitch point.”
On the other hand, materials requiring a stretch at the seam might be better sewn, since a welded seam won’t stretch.
Cov nqi yuav khoom feem ntau tsawg dua rau cov tshuab xaws. Tab sis cov khoom siv xaws tuaj yeem tsim lwm cov nuj nqis, xws li xov. Kev ua haujlwm kuj yog ib qho kev txiav txim siab, txawm tias qhov no nyob ntawm lub tshuab.
Automated sewing and welding solutions don’t require a skilled operator, so labor costs can be reduced with these machines. Manual sewing typically carries the highest long-term labor costs. But one thing to consider is maintenance. Sewing machines require consistent maintenance and adjustment to keep the machine running properly.
If a sewing machine breaks down, specialized services are typically necessary to get it back up and running, which can affect production. However, sealing solutions need much less attention, perhaps requiring servicing once a year or so, which can usually be managed in-house at a time when production won’t be affected.
Qhov tseeb, welded seam tuaj yeem muaj zog ntawm lub seam dua li cov khoom siv ib-ply nws tus kheej. Txawm hais tias muaj ntau cov xov muaj zog heev niaj hnub no, qhov tseeb hais tias cov khoom yuav tsum tau punctured nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev xaws ua rau nws tsis muaj zog ntawm txhua qhov stitch point.
On the other hand, materials requiring a stretch at the seam might be better sewn, since a welded seam won’t stretch.
Muaj qhov laj thawj zoo los txiav txim siab ua li ntawd, hais tias Steven Kaplan, tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm S. Kaplan Sewing Machine Co. Inc. Headquartered hauv Newark, NJ, lub tuam txhab yog ib qho thoob ntiaj teb faib cov tshuab xaws hnyav rau cov lag luam uas tsis yog khaub ncaws.
Tab sis tsis muaj kev npaj thiab kev npaj txaus, kev sim ua kom muaj ntau yam tuaj yeem rov qab los, ua rau cov lag luam noj cov nuj nqis uas tsis tas yuav rov qab los ntawm kev nqis peev zoo (ROI), tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tias lawv yuav tsum ntiav cov neeg ua haujlwm ntxiv. Muab ob qho tib si kuj txhais tau tias nkag mus rau thaj chaw tsim khoom me me uas tsis paub, ua rau cov khoom lag luam ua tsis tiav; Piv txwv li, thaum ib yam khoom yuav tsum tau sewn tab sis raug kaw, los yog vice versa. Kev tshuaj xyuas, kev yuav khoom thiab kawm ua haujlwm
Ntau qhov tseeb ntawm qhov kev txiav txim siab txog seb nws puas tsim nyog ntxiv kev xaws los yog khi rau koj cov ntawv qhia zaub mov. Ib qho ntawm cov no yog hom phiaj xwm koj xav tias yuav nyiam los ntawm kev ua li ntawd. Piv txwv li, hais tias Evling, welded seams, es sewn, feem ntau yog superior rau cov khoom uas yuav tsum tau dej - los yog tail-tight. Lawv kuj yuav yog txoj hauv kev zoo tshaj plaws rau cov ntawv thov kho mob uas muaj cov kev cai tshuaj tiv thaiv kab mob. Cov khoom lag luam destined rau huab cua huab cua kuj yog cov neeg sib tw zoo rau kev vuam, nws hais tias, raws li xov yuav ua rau degradation nyob rau hauv cov xwm txheej hnyav.
Qhov tseeb, welded seam tuaj yeem muaj zog ntawm lub seam dua li cov khoom siv ib-ply nws tus kheej, Txawm hais tias muaj ntau cov xov muaj zog heev niaj hnub no, qhov tseeb tias cov khoom yuav tsum tau punctured hauv cov txheej txheem xaws ua rau nws tsis muaj zog ntawm txhua qhov stitch point. "
Ntawm qhov tod tes, cov ntaub ntawv uas xav tau kev ncab ntawm lub seam yuav zoo dua sewn, vim tias lub welded seam yuav tsis ncab.
Cov nqi yuav khoom feem ntau tsawg dua rau cov tshuab xaws. Tab sis cov khoom siv xaws tuaj yeem tsim lwm cov nuj nqis, xws li xov. Kev ua haujlwm kuj yog ib qho kev txiav txim siab, txawm tias qhov no nyob ntawm lub tshuab.
Automated sewing thiab vuam kev daws teeb meem tsis xav tau tus neeg ua haujlwm txawj, yog li cov nqi zog yuav raug txo nrog cov tshuab no. Kev xuas tes xaws feem ntau yog tus nqi ua haujlwm ntev tshaj plaws. Tab sis ib qho yuav tsum xav txog yog kev saib xyuas. Cov tshuab xaws yuav tsum tau saib xyuas zoo ib yam thiab hloov kho kom lub tshuab ua haujlwm zoo.
Yog tias lub tshuab xaws tau tawg, cov kev pabcuam tshwj xeeb feem ntau yog tsim nyog kom tau txais nws rov qab thiab ua haujlwm, uas tuaj yeem cuam tshuam rau kev tsim khoom. Txawm li cas los xij, cov kev daws teeb meem sib khi xav tau kev saib xyuas tsawg dua, tej zaum yuav tsum tau txais kev pabcuam ib xyoos ib zaug lossis yog li ntawd, uas feem ntau tuaj yeem tswj hwm hauv tsev thaum lub sijhawm tsim khoom yuav tsis cuam tshuam.
Qhov tseeb, welded seam tuaj yeem muaj zog ntawm lub seam dua li cov khoom siv ib-ply nws tus kheej. Txawm hais tias muaj ntau cov xov muaj zog heev niaj hnub no, qhov tseeb hais tias cov khoom yuav tsum tau punctured nyob rau hauv ib txoj kev xaws ua rau nws tsis muaj zog ntawm txhua qhov stitch point.
Ntawm qhov tod tes, cov ntaub ntawv uas xav tau kev ncab ntawm lub seam yuav zoo dua sewn, vim tias lub welded seam yuav tsis ncab.
