Documented sewing workstation

Documented sewing workstation based on a customized Dürkopp Adler M-Type sewing head and equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring devices. The HM814 combines all the benefits of an M-type triple transport or roller feed machine with tailor-made technology from Habraken.

Highly flexible system

The development of the HM814 is based on more than 25 years of experience in the field of Documented sewing workstations by Habraken. The result is a highly flexible system that is easy to adapt to meet continuously changing demands. The HM814 guarantees accurate production, accurate evaluation and accurate documentation of your products. An in-seat airbag places critical demands on the sewing of seat covers. The seam must be durable throughout a normal lifetime and yet tear in the event of airbag deployment. The HM814 monitors all the critical aspects involved during documented sewing to ensure safe and reliable action to both of these contradictory demands.

Vital monitoring

Advanced monitoring devices allow the HM814 workstation to tag and record all relevant data on approved products. This vital information will serve as the source for the product tracking database. At the same time, sewing on the HM814 has been kept much the same as working on a standard M-Type machine, resulting in a low learning curve for the operator.

Goals

• Minimum interference from monitoring system to avoid distracting the operator
• Records only unambiguous and relevant data
• Flexible implementation of customer requirements
• Open architecture to enable integration of third party components
• Most important: Keep It Simple

The HM830 triple transport binding machine is based on a completely new design.

This model is unique because the differential binder mechanism does not fill the right-hook area. This allows us to build the HM830 with the hook on the right side of the needle. This tackles and solves all the disadvantages of the more conventional left-hook models.

The benefits of this design includes low-tension sewing, and better overall seam quality due to the natural kinematics of the machine. You no longer need an S-twisted top thread. The unique mechanism allows for tension-free application of binding tape because the binder moves away from the needle at the right time and pulls just enough extra binding tape before the next stitch is made. Curves are sewn while the binder moves along with the transport, staying as close to the needle as possible.

Easy to automate

Based on Dürkopp Adler’s M-type flat-bed machine range, the HM830 can be delivered both as a single- and double needle version with an XL or XXL hook system. The activation of the differential binder system can be done via a designated push button on the machine head or via a knee switch underneath the table. We recommend however to use the optional HM-MEF mechanical edge follower.

This HM-MEF will automatically detect the outside and inside corners. Depending on the chosen program the HM830 will then automatically activate and deactivate the differential binding system settings the to automate the process of switching between straights and curves. For even more complex binding operations there is an optional HM 2nd stroke system. This system is a to set a second differential binding stroke setting for even better quality.

• The HM830 is a machine for attaching binding tape mostly on car carpets, home carpets but can also be used for other medium duty binding applications.
• The HM830 can be supplied in single and double needle version.
• The HM830 can be supplied in short and long arm version.
• The HM830 gives you the highest quality medium duty binding.

Straight line sewing with belt transport

A perfect straight seam is one of the most difficult tasks for the sewing operator.

The servo driven belt transport system of the HM802 is the solution to your problem!

Flexible design

The double belt drive system is a very robust and flexible system. Specially developed to transport upholstery pieces during the sewing process with a perfect straight seam as result.

Simply position the work piece with the help of the projected laser beam. Push the start button and the machine will do the rest.

Make parallel seams with an optional second laser beam which can be aligned with a previous seam.

By a touch screen operated menu you can easily set the machine for single or indexed sewing.

In single mode the work piece will be transported out of the machine after seam end after which the next seam can be positioned.

Use index mode to transport the piece back to the loading position and reposition the piece for the next seam.

Seam start and end point will be controlled by a photo electrical sensor. The sensor doubles as work piece detection for safe operation. Relative start and end point can be set via the touch screen operated menu. The typical tolerance would be ± 1 stitch*. Back tack stitch condensing can be used to shorten the back tack length for sewing heads with the second stitch length option.

The belt transport system can be removed in just a few seconds for maintenance purpose. Without the belt transport system the sewing machine can be used for normal sewing. These features make the HM802 a flexible machine for your production and gives more value for money invested.

The HM802 can also be equipped with a tape feeding mechanism which will automatically feed wire pocket tape to a preset position and cut it after a preset length.

The HM802 can be supplied in both lock stitch and chain stitch versions with various sewing arm lengths.

• Servo controlled bi-directional intermitting transport synchronized to sewing speed and stitch length;
• 2 parallel transport belts positioned on either side of the needle;
• Feed-in feed-out function;
• Touch screen panel for process overview and configuration;
• Laser line projector for visual alignment of work piece;
• Photo electrical sensor for work piece presence detection

Heavy-duty programmable zigzag machine with a zigzag width up to 15mm. Based on Dürkopp Adler 967 with integrated direct drive.

The zigzag mechanism of this HM866 is servomotor driven. This makes it possible to create all sorts of zigzag programs that can be easily selected using the touchscreen display. No mechanical settings such as cam change are required. The HM866 has the big advantage of a top feed transport, which is unique for a zigzag machine in this class!

Due to the top feed system, it is not always necessary to equip the machine with a puller system. If needed though, we can equip the HM866 with a powerful 400 W servo driven top puller. The motor has a 15:1 transmission and the torque is no less than 19 Nm. This puller has no problem transferring 30 kg of traction on, for example, PVC.
