There are several different models available in both the compact and full-size industrial single-head type machines
operate with hundreds of single-heads and no multi-heads.
A single-head is a single-head? Single-heads are not all the same. Yes, they all have the capability of producing one piece at a time, but there’s more to it than just that. The structural design of the machine plays a significant role in capability, longevity, and overall performance. I’ve loosely classified these into three main types. One type of single-head available on the market today is a smaller, hobby-enthusiast machine. I define it more as a cross-over compact embroidery machine where a home embroidery machine meets an industrial machine. This type of
machine can range from one to 10 needles with the ability to stitch on finished garments (tubular). It has a small footprint and a lighter weight style (e.g. plastic housing and parts, lighter duty motors). I do not classify it as an industrial machine as it does not have the industrial jump structure. Also, this is a small arm-style built that looks like a conventional sewing machine from the side and has an obstruction point behind the pantograph assembly. This type of machine has a lot of capability but is limited to certain specifications. So, it’s only fair to compare it to other similarly built equipment. Another single-head type is a compact industrial embroidery machine. This style is space-conscious by offering a smaller footprint and seems to be the most popular model for
