Interactive Head Control of Embroidery Machine using Embedded Web Server

Abstract

This paper proposes the design and implementation of prototype model to control embroidery machine using single board ARM processor. Wilcom is the software largely used for embroidery design. Designs prepared using Wilcom software are printed and supplied to the machine for further process. The proposed prototype model extracts the design data from this software by avoiding the printing and/or scanning of the user design and the design data are supplied to ARM based prototype embroidery machine for printing. In proposed model, the pencil is used as printing head and A4 size paper is used for the printing. Further to control the head, Use of web server design is also proposed using ARM processor.
