Sewing Machine

(CAD/CAM Project)
OVERVIEW

• A sewing machine is a machine used to stitch fabric and other materials together
with thread.

• The flywheel is rotated in order to move the needle and the bobbin to stitch.
• Internally a complex system of different parts working together to
make one stitch.

• Spool pin is at the top of the outer casing for the thread spool.

WORKING OF SEWING MACHINE

• The motion is provided through the flywheel by


rotating it.
• This rotation causes the arm shaft to rotate about the
center axis of the flywheel.

• The rotation of the arm shaft causes the crank to


rotate which gives an up down motion to the needle
bar
• The rotation of the flywheel also causes the
movement of the upright arm shaft to move along
with the pin which is offset from the center.
• This motion of the upright arm shaft causes the feed
dog (connected by a rod) to move for moving the
cloth forward for further stitching.
• Also, it makes the bobbin and the shuttle hook to
move in an oscillating manner.
• The needle starts off high and moves down toward the fabric.
• The needle punctures the material, taking the thread with it.
• The needle starts to rise up again but it leaves behind a loop of the thread,
which is the beginning of the next stitch. The shuttle hook now passes through
this loop and catches on it.
• The needle keeps on rising but the main action is happening down under the
material, where the shuttle hook drags the thread loop right around so that it
locks around the bobbin thread.
• The needle, pulling upwards, tightens the thread and pulls it back up off the
shuttle hook.
• The needle, still pulling upwards, pulls the stitch tight. The threads are properly
locked together, and we're ready for the process to repeat to make the next
stitch.
COMPLETE MOTION OF THE MECHANISM
Why Did we choose this?

• Had to choose an option which is not that common a choice for students.

• Somewhat complex mechanism which could be made using the knowledge we


had.

• Exploring the mechanism of a sewing machine.

• Experimental
