Digitizing for RCC Design

ES Schiffli resolves three crucial issues for Schiffli digitizers working with RCC type designs:

Inserting commands in the right place for needle changes.

Moving the frame sideways under the new active needles automatically.

Displaying design colors where they will be on the fabric and not where they are relative to the frame – i.e. 1, 2, 3 etc, French inches apart.

ES Schiffli takes care of station changes and frame movements. Furthermore, for designs created in EmbroideryStudio, the position of each color is correct.

RCC is available on both Plauen and Saurer machines. Hiraoka, Saurer Pentamat and Laesser have the more advanced Individual Needle Control (INC). For both RCC and INC, a needle pattern is known as a ‘station’ – i.e. a pattern of needles, either regular as in RCC, or irregular as in INC.

Note: INC type machines can handle the standard repeat stations used by RCC machines. ES Schiffli allows you to define RCC type stations only and it supports only Saurer Pentamat INC type designs.
