About this paper

Prof Dr Ray Wai Man Kong

An automated stretch elastic waistband sewing machine combines sensor-based fabric alignment, three-wheel positioning, and servo motor control to enable precise automated waistband attachment in garment manufacturing, demonstrated through mathematical modeling of elastic elongation factors and force analysis for optimal control parameters.

Key insights

  • Elastic band elongation factor is not a constraint and reduces when elasticity is pulled apart
  • Relationship between wheel spacing, elastic band boundaries, and elongation factors determines optimal design
  • Motor control percentage must be carefully calibrated to prevent breaking elastic while maintaining tension
