Schmetz increases range of embroidery needles

Needle manufacturer SCHMETZ has extended its range in the field of em-broidery. High quality embroidery processes require the use of special needle geome-tries. Conventional needle geometries often do not correspond to the re-quirements, for instance in the processing of sequins, with frequent needle size change or when heavy embroidery threads are used.

According to in-dustry-specific requirements, SCHMETZ has developed new geometries for the needle system DBxK5 for those applications in multi-head embroidery.

Focussing on user problems:
Bursting of sequins by penetration of the needle is one of the problems in the embroidery industry. Additionally, the needle might clash with the se-quin chain cutter, especially in the embroidery of very small sequins.

The Ferd. SCHMETZ GmbH from Herzogenrath (Germany), renowned manu-facturer of sewing machine needles, now has developed the new DBxK5 KK SERV 2 for the embroidery of very small sequins with a diameter down to 3 mm. These needles have a short shank combined with a shank flatten-ing in the shoulder and lower shank area.

As a result of the shank flatten-ing, the sequin chain cutter can be set very close to the needle without col-lision of knife and needle avoiding wear and harm to any of the involved parts. Due to the round cross-section above of the upper shank area the needle can be used in multi-head embroidery machines with needle set screw positioned left-hand or right-hand.

This way, the new needle type DBxK5 KK SERV 2 from SCHMETZ signifi-cantly contributes to a trouble-free embroidery process and a perfect end-product even when embroidering very small sequins.

Innovative needle geometry permits novel embroidery technique
Up to now, it was impossible to use very fine and very heavy embroidery thread at the same time in one embroidery head. The new SCHMETZ DBxK5 FHS (FHS = Fixed Hook Setting) now permits such innovative em-broidery techniques with extremely different yarn count and consequential use of different needle sizes within one embroidery head.
