Although some research and improvements have been carried out in this area, the sewing process has remained almost unchanged throughout the years, staying largely dependent on the operator skills to set up sewing parameters and to handle the fabrics being sewn. Slight changes in sewing machine settings can influence the quality of seams, as well as sewing operation time. To avoid these empirical settings, reduce set-up times and improve machine performance, flexibility and sewing quality, an electromagnetic actuated presser foot, based on the use of a proportional force solenoid, was developed and implemented on an industrial overlock sewing machine. The compression force and displacement waveforms from the presser foot bar will be studied in this paper, as well as the admissible displacement limits used to monitor (on- and offline) fabrics\u2019 feeding efficiency. Following this analysis, a new research programme was established to enable a PC-based open- and closed-loop control of the presser foot system. This paper also highlights these recent developments, presenting and discussing, in detail, a PID closed-loop control strategy. The obtained results show that the presser foot closed-loop control has improved performance for a wide speed variation range. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1191\/0142331203tm0097oa","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,1,6]],"date-time":"2004-01-06T23:57:29Z","timestamp":1073433449000},"page":"419-432","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Actuation, monitoring and closed-loop control of sewing machine presser foot"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Lu\u00eds F.","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering,"}]},{"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering"}]},{"given":"Helder","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Textile Engineering"}]},{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Rocha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Textile Engineering"}]},{"given":"Fernando N.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Textile Engineering"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o L.","family":"Monteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Electronics, School of Engineering, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Couto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Electronics, School of Engineering, University of Minho, 4800-058 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,1]]},"reference":[{"first-page":"727","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 6th UK Mechatronics Forum International Conference - Mechatronics \u201998, University of Sk\u00f6vde","author":"Carvalho, H.","key":"atypb1"},{"volume-title":"Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Intelligent Automation and Control - ISIAC \u20192000","author":"Carvalho, H.","key":"atypb2"},{"first-page":"89","volume-title":"Proceedings of The Fiber Society Technical Meeting - Spring 2000","author":"Carvalho, M.","key":"atypb3"},{"volume-title":"LabVIEW PID control toolset user manual","year":"2001","author":"National Instruments","key":"atypb4"},{"first-page":"109","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 5th UK Mechatronics Forum International Conference - Mechatronics \u201996","author":"Rocha, A.
