Abstract
A sewing system is proposed, which has a sewing head with thread tightener, a presser foot, a lower thread roll with a shuttle for guiding the lower thread and transport or transfer means for the further transporting of the workpiece to be processed. Separate drives are associated with these individual elements and these drives are synchronously controlled by a control device.
Claims2
A sewing device having a sewing head with thread tensioner, a presser foot, an underthread roller with a looper for guiding the underthread, transport means for the advancing of the workpiece to be handled and a plurality of drives, characterized in that:
- (a) each individual element has its separate drive (15 to 23) in the form of hydromotors or hydropistons;
- (b) the separate drives (15 to 23) are connected via lines (14) with a hydraulic pulse generator (11) driven by an electric or hydraulic motor (12) and can be controlled synchronously by said generator;
- (c) the hydraulic stream (13) which is continously fed to the pulse generator (11) is transformed into a plurality of hydraulic streams which are fed separately, via the lines (14), to the individual drives (15 to 23), pulsate and are infinitely adjustable in their frequency range;
- and
- (d) the separate drives (15 to 23) of the individual elements are adapted to the forces of speeds to be transmitted by the latter.
