Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for handling and processing fabric parts. The system comprises a handling robot with an effector for handling a fabric part and a joining unit for at least one of processing a fabric part and connecting at least two fabric parts. The effector is configured to separate a fabric part from a fabric stack, to feed it to the joining unit and to hold it during processing by the joining unit, wherein the effector comprises at least five fixing elements. Each fixing element is configured to fix a region of the fabric part to the effector, wherein the five fixing elements are coupled to the effector so as to be movable relative to one another.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for robot-assisted eversion of a garment consisting of superimposed first and second fabric layers. The system comprises a handling robot with an effector comprising a handling mechanism configured to space the first fabric layer from the second fabric layer to provide an inner volume between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer accessible through an opening between the fabric layers. Furthermore, the system comprises an eversion device configured such that a pass-through portion of the garment relative to an outer portion of the garment can be passed through the inner volume and through the opening such that an eversion of the garment can be carried out.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for robot-assisted sewing of fabric layers for clothing. The method comprises gripping a first fabric layer by a handling mechanism of a handling robot with an effector for handling fabric layers. The first fabric layer is positioned above a second fabric layer and the first fabric layer is fixed with the second fabric layer to form a fabric layer stack by means of a fixing mechanism which is arranged at least partially at the effector in such a way that a joining region of the first fabric layer rests on a further joining region of the second fabric layer. Furthermore, the fabric layer stack is fed to a sewing machine by means of the handling mechanism. The joining regions are sewn. The sewn fabric layer stack is fed by means of the handling mechanism.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system for handling and processing fabric layers. The system comprises a handling robot with an effector for handling fabric layers, wherein the effector comprises a handling mechanism. The handling mechanism comprises an effector contour, wherein the fabric layer can be fastened within the effector contour, wherein the effector contour is smaller than an outer contour of the fabric layer. The handling mechanism is configured to singulate and receive at least one fabric layer individually from a fabric layer stack, to deposit at least one singulated fabric layer in a flat manner on a work surface and to span the fabric layer within the effector contour in a fold-free manner. Furthermore, the system comprises a monitoring device, which is configured to monitor the singulation of the at least one fabric layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a textile product comprising a textile material, and a seam which is sewn in the textile material, wherein the seam comprises a predetermined pattern which is indicative of information data relating to the textile product and which is optically detectable. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a system for producing the textile product and a system for reading information data from the textile product.

Abstract: A device for generating an output signal, formed as a pulse sequence, with a sensor and a controller. The sensor generates a sensor signal based on a measurand determined by the sensor. The controller determines a number of pulses of a timing signal that are generated chronologically between two pulse edges of the sensor signal, the timing signal being generated by a timing signal generator. The controller also generates an intermediate timing signal formed as a pulse sequence, where the period duration of the intermediate timing signal is equal to the period duration of the timing signal multiplied with a factor that is equal to the determined number of pulses of the timing signal, divided by a predetermined divisor. The controller generates the output signal based on the intermediate timing signal.
