Tajima continues its 76-year quest to develop and improve the world of embroidery, with some ground-breaking developments.
One such development is the DCP, Digitally Controlled Presser Foot, which is featured on all R Series machines. While the DCP technology seems relatively simple the concept of incorporating this into an embroidery machine, with the needle bar and presser foot no longer connected, each having its individual drive, coupled with the fact that the presser foot can be controlled digitally is nothing short of amazing.
Imagine the scenario, you can make your presser foot come down to say 5mm, the perfect height for foam on your 3D cap design, letting your machine do its normal stitch action but as the needle comes up, the foot can stay in play to stop any movement until the needle has come out of the fabric completely. This is a game changer in quality control and just one of the many advantages that DCP technology can offer the embroiderer of today, who now deals with more fabric and thread types than ever before.
On the subject of game changers, we move to ITM, Intelligent Thread Management that is now available.
ITM is a system to control the delivery of thread to the needle perfectly for every stich. ITM looks at the stitch type and length and cleverly allows the exact amount of thread at exactly the right tension to be sewn at precisely the right time.
This delivery of the thread by ITM is automatic and further quality control and adjustments can be made in the control panel.
ITM helps greatly with poor embroidery quality, reduces puckering in designs, requires no skill to manage, and gives consistent results time after time, even on different machines as the settings are the same. The ITM settings can be saved as part of the embroidery file for consistent results on repeat orders etc.
