+ Binding Machine • Designed for lingerie and sportswear fabrics.
• Eliminate stretch or create tension.
• Separate heating zones utilizing hot air, heated
chutes and heated belts to transfer heat to the
correct area to achieve a satisfactory bond.
• Positives are that it creates a good, comfortable neat
finish, available in various widths, colours and materials,
can bond to many different fabrics without settings
having to be changes.
• Negatives are that lighter fabrics are harder to bind as
the cool air blows the fabric out of line and it restricts
stretch.
Advantages Disadvantages
•Flat finish.
•Strong.
•Comfortable
next to skin.
•No stitching.
•Can hem or
join.
•Fabric wont
pucker.
•High risk.
•Glue doesn’t
always stick.
•Not good on
curves.
•Temperature
can singe
fabric.
•Expensive.
Ultrasonic sealer
• Can be used in conjunction with admel ultrasew welding machine.
• The very narrow welded or lockstitch seam is strengthened by
applying a 10mm waterproof tape to the seam.
• The HMI panel is used for setting speed & temperatures.
Maximum temperature is 750 c.
• Compress air required.
• Automatic scissor cut off & power save feature.
• High risk machinery.
Advantages Disadvantages
•Flat finish.
•Waterproof.
•Strong.
•Comfortable next to
skin.
•Wind resistant.
•Can be used with
Gortex
•High risk.
•Long process
•Not good on curves.
•Expensive to produce
•Can come undone if
temperatures aren’t correct
+ • Designed to apply the adhesive leaving a clean cut edge.
• The lay down machine applies adhesive film to the edge of a garment
and trims the excess fabric with the adhesive edge.
• While applying the adhesive film, the machine can set to pull in the
garment edge slightly to achieve a flat final bond with the film.
Advantages Disadvantages
•Flat finish.
•Strong.
•Comfortable next to skin.
•No stitching.
•Can hem or join.
•High risk.
•Glue doesn’t always stick.
•Not good on curves.
•Temperature can singe fabric.
•Expensive.
•Adhesive can come off during washing if not correct
temperature.
•Every fabric has a different tape and if it's wrong it
may not stick.
•Thinner fabrics can wave.
Feed of the arm bonding machine
• Designed for joining arms and legs and hemming.
• Suitable for sports wear, Lingerie and waterproof fabrics.
• Separate heating zones utilizing hot air, heated chutes and heated belts
to transfer heat to the correct area to achieve a
satisfactory bond.
Advantages Disadvantages
Positives are that it is a secure water
proof finish
negatives are that it has no stretch, if the
settings aren’t correct for the fabric it will
come undone and when two pieces are
being joined, an unattractive raw edge is
left on the wrong side.
Right hand knife film lay down bonding machine.
+ Ultra sew Ultrasonic welding/jig cutter
• Cuts and seals bonding textiles together without thread using
ULTRASONIC welding technology.
• The walking foot and positioning pin, hold the fabric in place whilst the
machine trims & welds the fabric.
• This type of seam is strengthened by applying a 10mm adhesive tape
on the ardmel MK 501 seam sealing machine. This can provide a flat
waterproof seam also.
• Capable of handling most types of materials with synthetic content
including laminated & coated 60% thermoplastic content is required for
a secure weld.
Advantages Disadvantages
• Small seam.
• Good strength
• Can be used on a
variety of
synthetic fabrics.
• The jig allows for
flexibility whilst
operating.
• Capable of
handling all
types of fabrics
with synthetic
content including
laminated &
coated.
• Rough seam left
over.
• Doesn’t allow
stretch, seams
crack.
• Can only be
used on +65%
manmade fibres.
• Not as strong as a
conventional
seam, can easily
be broken if not
at the right
temperature.
• ensuring no
fraying unlike
laser cutting.
+ Ultrasonic welder
Advantages Disadvantages
•Low risk.
•Can be used for decoration.
•Strong.
•No bulk or thread so
comfortable.
•Very low power
consumption
• No emissions
•Accurate
•Positives are that it can join
several layers at once.
•different patterns can be
created by changing the
wheel
•Fabric must be at
least 60% polyester.
•Can pull apart.
•Slow process
•Has to be set for
the correct
thickness.
•Not good on
curves.
•Expensive.
• Ultrasonic welding is an innovative alternative &
complementary method used with conventional
sewing.
• Fabrics are placed between the sonotrode and
the anvil wheel and welding continuously under
pressure.
• This machine has 4 different wheels which leave a
straight or decorative impression. Care must be
taken at seam junctions where there are multiple
layers.
• When welding continuously the fabric will be
subject to rapid changing pressure vibration.
• The ultra-high frequency vibrations develop heat
& this friction produces a molecular change to the
fabric beneath its surface.
+ Utility Table
Used in conjunction with the ardmel bonding
press.
This preparation unit is used for sub-assembly
allowing for realignment prior for permanent
fixing on the bonding press.
Accommodates pre bond-tacking for zips.
Hot surface.
Application: pre bonding zips, hems, seams,
trims & logos.
Advantages Disadvantages
Pneumatic high pressure
bonding press
• Designed for bonding textiles using heat and adhesives.
• Operated pneumatically by use of a membrane with interchangeable
heated top and bottom plates.
• Engineered using membrane technology that guarantees precise and
stable distribution of pressure.
• Compressed air required.
• Maximum welding temperature is 350 c.
• High risk Machinery.
• Applications: Bonding of flaps, pockets, flat zips, hems, seams & trims.
• Mainly used for active wear to create water, windproof, and seamless
garments.
Advantages Disadvantages
+ Laser cutter.
• Laser cutter can be used for creating decoration to a
garment and the construction of garments.
• If a Synthetic fabric is used with the laser cutter, the
laser will singe the thermoplastic fibers and stop the
fabric from fraying and create a crisp edge.
• Can be used with any fabric.
• Materials can be cut or edges.
Advantages Disadvantages
•Crated a nice pattern.
•Has great precision.
•Expensive.
•Does not seal all fabric so
may fray.
•May weaken fabric.
•The image you want to cut
must be very accurate.
+ 3D Body Scanner
• Scans the body to give accurate measurements
• Allows the designer to create garments to suit a
specific body type or shape.
• Can use the scanned image to help accurately draw
working drawings.
• Can pose in the Body Scanner to improve the wear of
garment and can be used for fashion illustrations
Advantages Disadvantages
•Precise
•Quick
•Information can be
transferred and applied in
different applications such as
the 3D printer
•The equipment is expensive.
•If the object being scanned
moves measurements wont be
correct.
+ Sewn and Seamless
Technologies 1. 4 thread breakout stitch- keeps stretch in fabric,
seams are flat but the stitch isn’t very attractive.
2. Pegasus Top and Bottom seam cover- very
attractive consistant pattern, different pattern on
each side but allows some stretch
3. Union special seam cover- allows very good
stretch, is dicreet on one side. Used to hide raw
edges and secure hems and turn ups in place.
4. Pegasus 3 needle coverseam- has some stretch,
attractive pattern, and can also be used to hold
turn ups in place, hiding raw edges as well as a
decoration.
5. Seam cover- good for covering seams, boning
and wires to provide comfort to the body.
