The single head embroidery machine offers many advantages over its multi-head counterpart. It can provide tubular embroidery in various sizes as well as offering an efficient cubical frame design with slim cylinder.
Precision
Tajima Embroidery’s single head embroidery machines from their TMBP-SC Series have raised the standard in their class. Their large, 10.1″ touch screen makes operation simple while offering an impressive variety of designs and colors to choose from. Their slim cylinder design and GEN 2 cap driver allows embroidering items that would be impossible or challenging on multi-head machines.
Beginners looking to fulfill smaller orders may only require a single-head embroidery machine; for larger quantity production however, multi-head commercial machines would be better.
Multi-head machines may produce larger quantities but are also more prone to production stops due to pantograph changes, thread breaks, needles or bobbins breaking. When one of these multi-head machines stops producing, it stops all production lines; single head machines do not experience these types of stops so can produce larger and more colorful projects more efficiently.
Speed
There are a variety of variables that influence embroidery machine speed requirements. Thread width and material, fabric thickness or lightness, embroidery digitizing processes and other aspects can all require different speeds of operation to ensure successful results. It is therefore necessary to factor each one of these aspects in carefully in order to get optimal results from an embroidery machine.
A single head embroidery machine may be capable of managing more embroidery in less time, but that does not automatically make it the superior choice for all embroidery shops.
If your shop will use embroidery machines to fulfill bulk orders, multi-head machines might be best. Multi-heads have the advantage of all their heads working simultaneously and stopping when one head stops; otherwise, your productivity could take a hit and downtime can increase drastically.
Versatility
A single head embroidery machine is extremely flexible, accommodating many materials with ease – such as leather. Furthermore, this versatile machine can work on various projects like hats and bags for companies seeking to work across an array of materials.
Multi-head machines resemble buses in that they require frequent stops for thread breaks, bobbin changes, end of runs and pantograph changes; while single head machines continue producing without these disruptions.
Single-head machines feature a smaller footprint, making them easy to accommodate in any room of your home or office. Producing more products at once will save money, while increasing customer satisfaction will reduce churn and strengthen brand recognition. When searching for such machines, be sure to select ones compatible with embroidery software as well as being user-friendly.
Customer Satisfaction
Embroidery machines must produce high quality embroidery designs while being reliable and user friendly. Furthermore, excellent customer service must be offered to guarantee repeat business and referrals; this may involve communication with customers about timelines or being open about pricing structures.
Single head embroidery machines are the ideal solution for startups and small businesses with limited space requirements, as they can easily be upgraded into multi-head models as your business expands. MESA provides a comprehensive selection of both single and multi-head machines to meet any size business need.
