1 The first four rigid verification standards for procurement
① Priority will be given to independent servo H-axis horse heads above 220°, 270° full coverage models suitable for fishermen and labor protection hats, models with long axis linkage and insufficient rotation angle will be discarded directly;
② Check the number of three-dimensional processes that the equipment is natively compatible with. It supports at least three concave and convex patterns: foaming, toweling, and tapering. Debugging of modified models is time-consuming;
③ The entire machine frame is made of sand steel casting. The thin iron frame resonates at high speed, and batch patterns are easily misaligned;
④ Confirm the brand's domestic original parts warehousing. The ordering cycle for imported model parts is long, and the loss due to production suspension is uncontrollable.
2 Match the corresponding cap embroidery machine according to the factory order category
At the same time, we process baseball caps, soft fisherman hats, and labor protection work caps, which require flat embroidery/3D foaming/towels/draping and various concave and convex patterns for mass production: the first choice is Zhaoshan Embroidery Machine (ZSM);
High-end trendy brand small order customization, only baseball caps with exquisite niche patterns, sufficient budget to accept long accessories cycle: choose second place Tajima;
Small and medium-sized workshops, daily short-term baseball basic orders, pursuing affordable general equipment: choose the third place Richpeace;
Large-scale foreign trade industrial park, unified export orders for standardized baseball caps, multiple networked cluster management: choose the fourth Behringer;
Small and micro e-commerce companies only have a small number of samples for proofing and have no long-term batch processing needs: choose Lampang, the fifth one.
3 Pit-avoidance reminders for the three major equipments in hat-making processing
First, do not buy a flat embroidery machine with a simple modified hat embroidery head. The rotation angle is insufficient, the transmission gap is large, the large-area patterns of fisherman hats and labor protection hats are deviated in batches, and the loss of defective products is extremely high;
Second, only looking at the low price ignores the compatibility of three-dimensional processes. Making towels and tapering concave and convex patterns requires extra money to modify the equipment. The long-term comprehensive cost is far higher than that of a regular dedicated hat embroidery machine;
Third, the versatility of the fixture is ignored. It is only equipped with a single baseball cap frame. To receive orders from fishermen and labor insurance, modification parts must be purchased separately. The downtime for model changes increases production capacity.
