1. Quilting size and capacity
Mattress size adaptability
Mattresses come in a variety of standard sizes, such as single beds (90cm×190cm, 100cm×200cm), double beds (150cm×200cm, 180cm×200cm), etc. There are also some custom mattresses with special sizes. Therefore, make sure that the working width and length of the quilting machine can meet the maximum size requirements of the mattress produced. For example, for manufacturers producing large double beds or extra-large mattresses, it is necessary to purchase a quilting machine that can handle a width and length of at least 200cm.
Some quilting machines may have size restrictions or require additional devices to expand the quilting range. Some high-end quilting machines can adapt to mattresses of different sizes by adjusting the guides or frames. When purchasing, you should learn more about their size adjustment flexibility.
Thickness handling capacity
Mattress thickness varies by type and design, ranging from thinner latex mattresses (5-10cm) to thick spring mattresses (20-30cm). The quilting machine needs to have enough needle bar stroke and presser foot lifting height to adapt to mattresses of different thicknesses. A quilting machine with a long needle bar stroke can ensure that the sewing needle can fully penetrate the thick mattress, while the higher presser foot lifting height makes it easy to place and remove the thick mattress. For example, the needle bar stroke of some industrial-grade quilting machines can reach more than 10cm, which can easily cope with mattresses of various thicknesses.
2. Quilting accuracy and pattern quality
Precision requirements
As a large and long-term home product, mattresses have high requirements for quilting accuracy. Precision includes uniformity of stitch length, accuracy of pattern, etc. A high-quality quilting machine can ensure that the stitch length of each needle remains consistent to avoid the situation where the stitch length fluctuates, which is important for the beauty and quality of the mattress. For example, on some high-end mattresses, fine quilting patterns require the stitch length error to be controlled within ±0.1mm.
At the same time, the accuracy of the machine's feeding system is also critical. A precise feeding system can ensure that the fabric moves smoothly and evenly during the quilting process, thereby achieving high-precision pattern quilting. Some advanced quilting machines use a servo motor-driven feeding system to achieve precise fabric feeding control.
Pattern diversity and complexity
Modern mattresses not only focus on comfort, but also increasingly emphasize appearance design. Therefore, quilting machines need to be able to produce a variety of patterns to meet the needs of different consumers. From simple straight lines and checkered patterns to complex floral and geometric combination patterns. Computer quilting machines have advantages in this regard. They can easily achieve quilting of various complex patterns through pre-programming or software design.
Some quilting machines also support custom pattern import functions, which facilitates companies to design unique mattress patterns according to their own brand characteristics and customer needs. Moreover, when making complex patterns, the machine must be able to ensure the continuity and integrity of the pattern to avoid pattern deformation or line interruption.
3. Production efficiency
Sewing speed
For mattress manufacturers, production efficiency is an important economic indicator. The sewing speed of the quilting machine directly affects the output of the mattress. Generally speaking, the sewing speed of industrial-grade mattress quilting machines can reach 10-30 meters per minute, depending on the model, power and complexity of the quilting pattern of the machine. When purchasing, choose a quilting machine with a suitable sewing speed according to the production scale and order requirements of the enterprise.
At the same time, the stability of the machine speed should be considered. During high-speed sewing, the machine cannot be stuck or the speed fluctuates, otherwise it will affect the quilting quality and production efficiency. Some high-end quilting machines use advanced motor control systems to ensure that they can maintain a stable sewing speed under different loads and patterns.
Automation degree
Quilting machines with a high degree of automation can greatly reduce manual operations and improve production efficiency. For example, automatic thread trimming, automatic presser foot lifting, automatic color changing and other functions. The automatic thread trimming function can automatically cut off the thread end after each section of quilting, saving the time of manual thread trimming; the automatic presser foot lifting function facilitates the operator to quickly change the mattress fabric or adjust the position; the automatic color changing function is suitable for making mattresses with complex patterns with multiple color stitches.
In addition, some advanced quilting machines also have automatic loading and unloading systems, which realize the fully automated process from feeding to discharging of mattress fabrics, further improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
4. Machine quality and stability
Mechanical structure and material
Because mattress quilting machines have to handle mattresses of larger size and weight, the mechanical structure must be strong. The fuselage frame usually uses high-quality metal materials such as cast iron or high-strength steel to ensure the stability of the machine during long-term operation. The cast iron fuselage has good shock absorption performance, which can reduce the vibration of the machine when it runs at high speed, which is conducive to improving the quilting accuracy; the high-strength steel fuselage is relatively light and easy to install and move.
The quality of key components such as needle bars, rotary shuttles, guide rails, etc. is also crucial. High-quality needle bars can ensure the accurate up and down movement of sewing needles and reduce the phenomenon of broken needles; high-precision rotary shuttles can ensure the good interweaving of the bottom line and the upper line to form beautiful stitches; and smooth and precise guide rails help to ensure the accuracy and stability of feeding.
Motor and power system
The motor is the power source of the quilting machine. For a mattress quilting machine, there needs to be enough power to drive the machine to sew thick mattresses. The motor power is generally between 1 and 5 kilowatts, and the specific selection should be based on the machine's workload and sewing speed. At the same time, the stability and durability of the motor are also very important. It is necessary to choose a motor with reliable quality and good heat dissipation.
The power system also includes transmission components, such as belts, gears, etc. These components must be able to transmit power efficiently and have good wear resistance and precision. Some advanced quilting machines use synchronous belt transmission, which has high precision and low noise, and can ensure the stable operation of the machine.
5. Convenience of operation and maintenance
Friendliness of the operation interface
For operators, a simple, easy-to-understand and easy-to-operate interface is very important. Computer quilting machines usually have an LCD screen to display various parameter settings, pattern selection and other information. The interface design should be intuitive so that operators can quickly get started. For example, the operating interface of some quilting machines uses a graphical menu, and the operator can select patterns, adjust parameters such as stitch length and speed by touching the screen or simply pressing buttons.
At the same time, the adjustment function of the machine should be convenient. For example, the adjustment knobs or buttons for parameters such as stitch length and thread tension should be easy to operate and have high adjustment accuracy. Some quilting machines also provide remote control functions, and operators can connect to the machine through mobile phones or tablets for remote parameter setting and monitoring.
Ease of maintenance and maintenance
Regular maintenance and maintenance can extend the service life of the quilting machine. When purchasing, consider the ease of maintenance of the machine. For example, the shell design of the machine should be easy to disassemble and convenient for cleaning the dust and thread ends inside. Key components such as the shuttle and needle bar should be easy to disassemble and install for cleaning, repair or replacement.
In addition, it is necessary to understand the maintenance knowledge required for the machine and the supply of accessories. Some brands of quilting machines provide detailed maintenance manuals and training services, and can provide original accessories in a timely manner, which is very helpful for the long-term and stable operation of the machine.
6. Brand and after-sales service
Brand reputation and word of mouth
Choosing a mattress quilting machine from a well-known brand can guarantee quality and performance to a certain extent. The brand has been tested by the market for a long time and has accumulated a good user reputation. The reputation of the brand can be understood by checking industry evaluations, user feedback, professional media reports, etc. For example, some brands have many years of R&D and production experience in the field of mattress quilting, and their products are known for high quality and high performance.
The technical strength of the brand is also an important factor. Brands with strong technical R&D capabilities can continuously launch new functions and technologies to improve the performance of quilting machines. For example, some brands will develop new pattern design software, improve the automation of the machine, etc.
After-sales service guarantee
After-sales service includes machine installation and commissioning, technical training, maintenance and other aspects. Good after-sales service can ensure that the machine can be put into use smoothly after purchase, and that failures can be solved in time. Some brands provide on-site installation and commissioning services, and have a professional after-sales team that can respond quickly to maintenance requests.
It is also necessary to understand the brand's accessories supply and maintenance cycle. During the use of the machine, some vulnerable parts such as needles and hooks need to be replaced in time. The brand can provide original parts in time to shorten the maintenance time and improve the utilization rate of the machine. At the same time, the short maintenance cycle also means that the production of the enterprise will not be greatly affected.
