What’s New: AJS Embroidery Services
The Tajima TMEZ
The Coloreel unit
Another exceptional year for new machinery
AJS has been fortunate for many years to have had a fantastic machinery line up and this year is no exception.
T
he Tajima TMEZ and the Coloreel have headed up the AJS Shows in UK and Ireland giving the garment industry a welcome insight into the latest technology and making the most of another diffi cult year.
The Tajima TMEZ
Having the latest most up-to-date technology and software has never been so important, having a reliable and cost-effective machine with the stitch quality that Tajima is renowned for are an essential must-have for all embroidery decorators.
Tajima again has moved the goal posts and then some, making the operator experience a less demanding one and ensuring the very best quality time after time with the aid of the i-TM system and the DCP.
The whole embroidery process has been turned upside down with the launch of the Multi-Head Tajima TMEZ. The older conventional method of controlling the tension of the thread has been radically updated with i-TM. The thread is delivered to the design at the

optimum moment without the aid of small tension springs and cups, this is then saved away as a tension profi le on the machine so other TMEZ machines can replicate the exact look and quality as the fi rst one.
In addition, the machine has the DCP system which is a digitally controlled motor driven presser foot, this also is a hidden asset that reduces fabric fl utter and aids the whole appearance of the fi nished embroidery giving a crisper fl atter look to the fi nished design.
The Coloreel unit
The Coloreel has also played a part in the machinery line up for AJS. The pandemic and resulting lock down has allowed Coloreel to concentrate on upgrades and enhancements
The result is that the software and colour management has made great leaps forward, the colour management can now match to Pantone, HEX, and CMYK values.
People use the phrase ‘game changer’, but the Coloreel is 100% this. The way in which the ITC unit matches thread
shades with Oeko-Tex certifi ed inks is quite remarkable. Designs that normally would be pushed into the screen print applications or DTG are no longer a problem.
The process starts with recycled raw polyester thread entering the entry feeder to the rear of the machine then passing into the CMYK jetting station which precisely prints a single strand of thread in the correct colour sequence. The printed thread then passes the internal buffer, this is a series of motorised rollers and on the way the thread has a natural drying phase, which then brings it to the main fixation or heating element unit. This part of the machine bonds and encapsulates the ink to the thread. The next two stages are the ultrasonic cleaning of the thread via the washing unit, where part of the machine cleans and revitalises the thread in readiness for the final thread lubrication which ensures the thread runs smooth on the machine without any unwanted thread breaks.
