State of the art computerised pattern stitching

Devanet® have continually invested in automation to improve quality and productivity where finances and space permit. Small footprints and machines that can deskill those labour intensive operations are key to remaining competitive at the same time assuring customers that projects can be completed within reasonable time frames compared to offshore suppliers.

We have invested in automated machinery to stitch around patterns wher we program a design and make a jog to fit the piece, we undertake all the programming of the stitch pattern, design and manufacture the jigs inhouse to save our customers money and time.

Our latest investment is a custom made automatic computer controlled, edge stitching machine, sophisticated, auto sensing and dedicated to producing optimal results 10 times faster than manual intervention, this is a state of the art sewing machine that enhances the ability of the company to deliver top quality, consistent and faster output than any other sewing capability. With output rates up to 140 belts an hour, there is very little to compete with such a machine. Variable stitch lengths, automatic sensing of different end tips, width and length, auto back tacking and trimming and most importantly the ability to offer customers real performance with less rejects and a beautiful finish.

With devanét computerised pattern stitching machinery to provide top quality pattern stitching services for belts, components and leather gifts. The machine is capable of stitching complex designs in a field area of 220 x 100 mm automatically and with consistency in quality and performance across a wide range of products. Special programming software and laser designed jigs made by us means that designs and development for customers is controlled inhouse. The services will enhance the existing facilities which have been extended to offer leather slitting, die cutting and our heavy duty stitcher's for webbing and leather.

Other sewing machines lock ctutch and walking foots make up the right combination for us to deliver the optimal result for customers.

The most valuable asset for our customers is that what would normally be a complex time comsuming job can be achieved speedily and with consistency, so that quality control is easier to maintain than by using hand eye co-ordination.

The computer stitching is capable is of using a variety of thread thicknesses to simulate various effects and designs can be enhanced by including patterns which would be virtually impossible by hand or standard flatbeds. We work with 40, 20 and 10's bonded nylon strong threads.

Each pattern for a given design is programmed in house and any holding jigs required are made on our own CNC or laser machines, this saving considerable expense to customers. Each job is costed on a setup and time profile and it is important that we produce a prototype before full production. Once the stitch pattern and design are approved, the design is saved and coded for future use, so the customer can have the design replicated whenever they need a repeat order.

For the benefit of customers, a typical stitch pattern made by hand on a flatbed say taking 5 minutes will take less than a minute on our programmable machines. If a customer had to buy jigs the cost would be several hundred pounds for each design so there are significant advantages letting Devanet undertake your stitch designs.

Stitching the edge of a belt 50 inches long, 360 degrees. 1.5 mm from the edge takes jut over 40 seconds to complete, with a 30 second re-program another stitch line can be introduced for decorative puposes. This considerabl increase does not just apply the speed the edge stitching machine will provide consistent top end quality and repeatibility not matched by a human.
