Abstract: Aiming at the disadvantages of lowspeed quilting and vibration, which caused by the big inertia of the Xaxis drive mechanism in the traditional quilting machine, affects the quality of embroidery, an innovative solution was presented. It integrates the Xaxis drive mechanism to the Zaxis. The improved drive scheme makes the composition of quilting machine more compact and reasonable. Compared with the traditional quilting machine, the total mass of Xaxis mechanism decreases 50%. It reduces the vibration and improves the embroidery speed at least 25%. Meanwhile, the key problems, which are the synchronous drive precision and the optimization of the roller and control software, were studied to enhance the quilting speed and embroidery quality. The developed quilting machine has a good performance, which is demonstrated by the results of a large number of experiments and applications.
