Head Configuration | High-volume cap production | Industry: 4 heads ▲ Our Base: 6 heads ▲▲ Our Advanced: 8 heads (ISO 14799 compliant) | ▲▲ Doubles output capacity for bulk orders (e.g., sports teams, corporate branding) | Larger footprint; advanced models require dedicated space and higher investment |
Embroidery Speed | Mass production of caps | Industry: 500 stitches/min ▲ Base: 700 stitches/min ▲▲ Advanced: 1,000 stitches/min (ASTM D6414) | ▲▲ Cuts production time by 40% for large batches (e.g., event merch) | Faster speeds may increase wear on needles and require frequent maintenance |
Noise Level | Office/Residential use | Industry: 65 dBA ▲ Base: 55 dBA ▲▲ Advanced: 48 dBA (IEC 60704-2-2) | ▲▲ Quieter than a refrigerator (48 dBA) for noise-sensitive environments | Advanced models may require acoustic enclosures for ultra-quiet operation |
Material Compatibility | Custom caps (nylon, cotton, polyester) | Industry: 3 fabric types ▲ Base: 8 types ▲▲ Advanced: 12+ types (ASTM D543 chemical resistance) | ▲▲ Handles delicate materials like mesh and metallic threads (e.g., for luxury brands) | Advanced models need specialized software for exotic fabrics |
Automation Level | DIY customization shops | Industry: Manual threading ▲ Base: Semi-automatic threading ▲▲ Advanced: Full auto-threading (ISO 3801) | ▲▲ Reduces setup time by 70% for unattended operation (e.g., 24/7 kiosks) | Advanced automation requires training and calibration expertise |
Price Range | Budget vs. high-volume operations | Industry: $5,000–$8,000 ▲ Base: $9,000–$12,000 ▲▲ Advanced: $15,000–$25,000 | ▲▲ Advanced models offer 30% lower cost-per-unit for high-volume users | Base models may lack scalability for growing businesses |
