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.
Depans acha yo jeneralman mwens pou machin koud. Men, ekipman koud ka jenere lòt depans, tankou fil. Travay se tou yon konsiderasyon, byenke sa a depann sou machin nan.
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.
An reyalite, yon kouti soude ka pi fò nan kouti a pase materyèl la yon sèl-ply tèt li. Pandan ke anpil fil yo trè fò jodi a, lefèt ke materyèl la dwe kreve nan yon pwosesis koud fè li pi fèb nan chak pwen.

Gen bon rezon pou konsidere fè sa, di Steven Kaplan, prezidan S. Kaplan Sewing Machine Co Inc. Ki gen biwo santral li nan Newark, NJ, konpayi an se yon distribitè atravè lemond nan machin koud lou nan endistri ki pa rad.
Men, san yo pa bon jan planifikasyon ak preparasyon, efò pou vin pi versatile ka tounen tounen yon dezè, sa ki lakòz biznis yo pran sou depans ki pa fini pote nan yon bon retou sou envestisman (ROI), sitou si yo gen anboche plis travayè. Ofri tou de ka vle di tou antre nan teritwa manifakti yon ti jan abitye, ki mennen nan echèk posib pwodwi; pa egzanp, lè yon atik ta dwe koud men li sele pito, oswa vis vèrsa. Evalye, achte ak aprann opere
Anpil reyalite faktè nan desizyon an sou si li fè sans pou ajoute koud oswa sele nan meni ou nan sèvis yo. Youn nan sa yo se kalite pwojè ou antisipe atire lè w fè sa. Pou egzanp, di Evling, kouti soude, olye ke koud, yo anjeneral siperyè pou pwodwi ki dwe dlo -oswa tair-sere. Yo gen anpil chans tou pi bon wout pou aplikasyon medikal ki enplike kondisyon antimikwòb. Pwodwi ki destine pou move tan ekstrèm yo tou bon kandida pou soude, li di, kòm fil ta ka gen tandans fè degradasyon nan kondisyon patikilyèman piman bouk.
An reyalite, yon kouti soude ka pi fò nan kouti a pase materyèl la yon sèl-ply tèt li, Pandan ke anpil fil yo trè fò jodi a, lefèt ke materyèl la dwe twou nan yon pwosesis koud fè li pi fèb nan chak pwen.
Nan lòt men an, materyèl ki mande yon detire nan kouti a ta ka pi byen koud, paske yon kouti soude pa pral detire.
Depans acha yo jeneralman mwens pou machin koud. Men, ekipman koud ka jenere lòt depans, tankou fil. Travay se tou yon konsiderasyon, byenke sa a depann sou machin nan.
Otomatik koud ak solisyon soude pa mande pou yon operatè kalifye, kidonk depans travay yo ka redwi ak machin sa yo. Koud manyèl tipikman pote pi gwo depans travay alontèm yo. Men, yon bagay ou dwe konsidere se antretyen. Machin koud mande antretyen konsistan ak ajisteman pou kenbe machin nan mache byen.
Si yon machin a koud kraze, sèvis espesyalize yo tipikman nesesè pou fè li tounen kanpe ak fonksyone, sa ki ka afekte pwodiksyon an. Sepandan, solisyon sele yo bezwen anpil mwens atansyon, petèt bezwen sèvis yon fwa pa ane oswa konsa, ki ka anjeneral jere nan kay la nan yon moman lè pwodiksyon pa pral afekte.
