ZSK Technical Embroidery Systems
ZSK Technical Embroidery Systems is a Division of ZSK Stickmaschinen GmbH. ZSK is the leading German manufacturer of industrial embroidery machines „Made in Germany“. Located in Krefeld, Germany, ZSK offers machines with up to 56 embroidery heads for textile finishing and innovative technical embroidery systems. Furthermore, ZSK offers a unique support for their customers during their development of technical embroidery products.

ZSK Technical Embroidery Systems are designated to lay wires, fibres or tubes on a fabric and place them in any shape required for e.g. sensors, heating systems, conductive paths, structural reinforcement integrated in any textile structure. Some Examples for the application of this technology for WEARABLES are sensors (temperature, moisture, stretch) or heating systems as well as fine wire areas as connectors for electronics or signal transmission.

Other technical embroidery technologies can be used to embroider conductive threads. WEARABLE applications are e.g. textile electrodes in different required shapes and structure or conductive paths or pads for the connection between electronic and textile. By using an attachment for functional sequin devices, sequins with LEDs can be automatically placed on a fabric or garments as well as on baseball caps. The connection of the LED- sequin and connection paths will be done by embroidery of conductive threads.
