PFAFF 3834: New programmable sewing workplace for sleeve setting
High-quality jackets, blazers and ladies’ jackets can be recognized by the quality of the sleeve setting. The “sleeve setting“operation therefore plays a key role in the branch. The perfect sleeve setting will be ideally achieved with the new PFAFF 3834, Made by PFAFF in Germany“. Thanks to the revised feeding system with selectable roller pressers and the new, automatic thread tension regulation, the machine can be operated with even greater process reliability and simplicity. Sewing in of un-gathered sleeves has never been easier and more flexible.
Extreme wide range of applications – from lining up to heavy outer fabric
For the new PFAFF 3834 a thread tension control has been developed that automatically adjusts the thread tension to the material thickness currently being handled. The material thickness detection and real-time adjustment (360° monitoring) feature ensures optimum stitch formation, even when sewing over cross-seams and interlinings. By using the roller presser (running close to the needle), the material can be worked in with pinpoint accuracy. Optimal work with a clear view of the sewing material is assured. The new machine guarantees smooth seams and even stitches formation, especially when sewing sensitive and difficult fabrics.
New concept for the roller pressers – From lining up to heavy outer fabric
The coated roller presser comes as standard with the machine. Optionally, a cross-toothed roller presser is available, which significantly expands the machine’s range of applications. This means that the machine can be switched from fine, delicate fabrics to coarse/heavy, hard fabrics in seconds. Enclosed you see how simple it is to switch from coated to cross-toothed roller presser.
Further Features of the PFAFF 3834
• Stitch-length and fullness amounts in increments of 1/10 mm (within the seam areas the stitch length can be changed)
• Teach in seam programming – size is free selectable
• Mirrored seam for alternating left or right sleeve
• By entering the grading values the sewing programs for all sizes are called up automatically
• Select starting point of seam is possible
Maximum functionality – The touch control panel BDF-P1 of the PFAFF 3834
When sewing in sleeves, the dexterity of the operator plays an important role. The new PFAFF 3834 provides programmed and sensor-supported features that significantly reduce the workload of the user and lead to a better, more reliable sewing performance. These functions can be called up or changed via the control panel:
• Program number input (97 programs)
• Manual correction of the fullness
• Current thread tension value
• New: autom. thread tension regulation
• Manual alteration of the active thread tension value
• Basic stitch length
• Current seam segment length (in millimetre)
• Select garment size
• Automatic change from right to left sleeve is activated
• Display of the current segment
Working methods of sleeve setting ungathered sleeves with the PFAFF 3834:
Manual method: The operator activates the required fullness by a second pedal, and the fullness is indicated by a bar diagramm on touch-screen control panel. This is recommended for training on the machine and for small batches.
Programmed sleeve setting: The seams are programmed by the teach-in method while sewing in the right sleeve of a basic size. The fullness amounts and grading values are input by the operator. When the grading values are input, all sizes of a style are automatically saved. The same applies to programming the seam for the left sleeve. An automatic change switches from the right to left sleeve or vice versa.
The machine has an attractive price/performance ratio. It will delight producers of jackets, coats, uniforms. An output of approx. 170 jackets in 480 min. (ungathered sleeves, left/right) can be achieved with that new workplace.

New 330 Series Sign Graphics & Textile Printing Solution by Mimaki
330 Series leverages Mimaki’s cross-platform strategy, to offer a high-end yet cost effective printing solution across several sectors. Similarly, the CG-AR Series offers users new workflow enhancing, entry-level cutting plotter technologies available in three sizes. Both launches align with Mimaki’s objective to grow both its high-end and entry-level product range, to further encourage and support customers expanding and improving upon their printing services and product offering.
Mimaki’s Latest Printers – the 330 Series
Following on from the success of the 100 and 300 Plus Series, the 330 Series has been developed to offer mid- to high-end printing models, focusing on high image quality and productivity. As a company renowned for its high-colour range, Mimaki’s newest printers can achieve high resolution, durable prints for both the Sign Graphic and Textile industries. The JV330-160 and CJV330-160 eco-solvent inkjet printers deliver the high-standard of colour required for indoor and outdoor sign graphics through the new “Deep Color Natural” input profile, offering eye-catching and vivid solid colours, natural skin tones as well as deep reds and neutral greys. In-built cleaning mechanisms and monitoring features ensure an efficient workflow and allow for longer running times.
Both models feature a newly designed unwinding system that allows three rolls of media to be loaded simultaneously, greatly reducing the time and labour required to change print media. One operator can bring the desired media into position simply by turning the media changer. Another standard feature is an “XY slitter” – a highly precise cutting technology, which provides in-line X-axis and Y-axis sheet-fed cutting. This eliminates the unwinding and manual cutting from the workflow, helping printers to significantly speed up and streamline the post-process, with less interference needed.
Hybrid Services is Mimaki’s distributor for the UK and Ireland, and the company will be exclusively presenting the new CJV330-160 at this month’s Sign & Digital UK exhibition. Hybrid’s reseller account manager, Martin Southworth, anticipates a strong uptake of the new technology. “Mimaki once again pushes forwards with intuitive, cost effective and high quality solutions, and we very much look forward to debuting this latest print and cut technology at Sign & Digital UK.”
In addition to the Sign Graphics solutions, Mimaki has also released the TS330-1600, a sublimation transfer inkjet printer, for the textile industry. Enabling both high production and high image quality, and equipped with new functions to improve stable operation, the TS330-1600 can achieve a printing speed of 69sq m/h in draft mode with a 4-colour ink set, with the fastest mode reaching up to 135sq m/h.
The TS330-1600 has optional add-ons to further increase efficiency, including a 10kg ink tank supply unit which reduces ink cost when compared to the standard 2L ink pack, and allows for longer continuous printing. A mini jumbo roll unit can also be added to load large rolls of transfer paper and further reduce running costs.
An improved take-up system featuring dual motors equipped on both sides of the printer distributes the load and strengthens the winding power, allowing stable winding of printed paper even for long runs. TxLink4, Mimaki’s RIP software dedicated to the textile market is included with every TS330-1600.
All products in the series are fitted with ‘Mimaki Weaving Dot Technology’ (MWDT), a technology that changes the order of ink droplet placement depending on the printing conditions. ‘Mimaki Remote Access’ (MRA) is also available across the series, improving ease of operation by allowing users to remotely access the machine and check the printer’s status
