Embroidery machine

Thanks for the feedback, the truth is I just don’t have time for another project. (Too many lined up already).
I was just curious if LCNC could be configured to work, and if you could marry the gantry knowledge base to the embroidery field.
And if it was possible, what machine would be a good fit.
I wouldn't do enough embroidery to justify going nuts, I have way too much work to do to even think of taking on another branch of business and developing it.

Thanks again for your interest and responding, Allen

I don't think it would be very difficult, especially if you were just converting an existing machine. I don't even think you'd even need 3 axis, you'd just cycle the needle at the end of each linear 2-d movement. The trickiest part might be finding the right cam program to generate the G-code.

Not exactly the same, but did you see the recent LinuxCNC rug-making machine?

forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/show-your-stuff...48-rugbot-1000#72109

Now that you mention it I did see that rug machine, not as refined as embroidery but the same principal.
If I can find a "test" subject cheap (so I can experiment) I might consider this, but again I honestly shouldn't take on another project.
(The wife thinks I'm crazy already)!

Here is a quilting machine running linuxcnc. It was done by micges here on the forum.

friend.

only the linuxcnc is used, what modifications have to be done so that the table only moves when the needle is up, or nothing is needed. I will thank you very much. Thanks a lot to everyone.

I did not find any information about micges
