Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive model for presser foot pressure
in industrial sewing machines, addressing a critical gap in the optimization of sewing
processes. We develop basic equations that incorporate key factors such as fabric
properties, sewing speed, and machine characteristics. The model's assumptions are
critically examined and validated through extensive experimentation. Our findings
reveal that fabric thickness, sewing speed, and thread tension significantly influence
optimal presser foot pressure. The model demonstrates high accuracy in predicting
optimal pressure settings across various fabric types and sewing conditions, with
potential applications in automated sewing systems and quality control processes.
