Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3599305A1] A looping machine (4) comprising a feed device (16) of the fabric (12) along a longitudinal direction (Y-Y), a positioning device (20) of a needle (10) along a transverse direction (X-X), an operating device (24) of said needle (10) along a vertical direction (Z-Z), perpendicular to said longitudinal (Y-Y) and transverse (X-X) directions, to perform the looping, characterized in that it comprises a camera (103) suitable for identifying a guide thread (40) arranged at at least one fabric (12) to be stitched, said guide thread (40) being inserted inside the fabric (12) so as to identify a plurality of segments (blob) (44). The machine (4) comprises a processing and control unit (56), operatively connected to the camera (103) and to actuators of the feed device (16) of the fabric (12), of the positioning device (20) of the needle (10) and of the actuation device (24) of the needle (10), so as to determine in real time the target stitching position of the needle (10) as a function of the guide thread (40) and to control in real time said devices (16, 20, 24) for reaching said target stitching position of the needle (10).
