Introducing the EdgeHog, a state-of-the-art robotic sewing platform by Merrow, designed to revolutionize the way softgoods are finished. The EdgeHog is a versatile machine, expertly crafted to automate the sewing of edges on a variety of materials that fit its generous work surface. While its featured applications are prominently showcased in the edging of patches and emblems, its capabilities extend far beyond, offering a wide range of sewing solutions.

One of the standout features of the EdgeHog is its operational efficiency – a single operator can effectively manage up to four machines simultaneously, dramatically increasing productivity without sacrificing quality. This multi-tasking capability makes the EdgeHog an invaluable asset in any production setting, from small-scale workshops to large industrial environments.

At the heart of the EdgeHog's performance is its advanced AI technology. This intelligent system not only provides error correction but also adapts seamlessly to new shapes and designs, ensuring consistently high-quality output regardless of the complexity or variability of the materials being sewn. This adaptability is further enhanced by several optical sensors, which provide real-time feedback and adjustments during the sewing process.

The EdgeHog is powered by a robust 220V service and runs on a Windows 10 operating system, ensuring compatibility with most modern digital infrastructures. Accompanying this is a comprehensive graphic design package, enabling users to easily create and modify designs, further expanding the creative possibilities.

Understanding the importance of skill development and ease of use, Merrow offers free training for the EdgeHog. This training ensures that operators can quickly master the machine and make the most of its advanced features, from AI integration to graphic design capabilities.

Industry Spotlight: 
A MERROW EDGE for EMBLEMS

Merrow_Emblem_10c20256-1f9a-47df-983e-5e59706ae408
After an emblem is embroidered, the edge needs to be finished. 

 The simplest way to do this is by sewing a three thread emblem edge stitch with a Merrow MG-3U Emblem machine. 

 Merrow produces four styles of Emblem Edging Machines: the Classic, Velcro, Wide and Narrow. An emblem Merrowed with our new line of Merrowing threads will ensure that the edge of the emblem stands out and keeps your customers coming back for more!

Wide Merrow

Narrow Merrow

merrowMG-3U
Incorporated in the EdgeHog, Merrow's MG-3U is a 3-thread industrial sewing machine that is designed to sew a decorative edge on emblems and patches. 

It makes a 1/8" to 3/16" stitch at a standard rate of 28 SPI (though this can be decreased or increased to 20 or 40 SPI respectively), yet even while running at 5500 RPM still operates under 90 dbA. 

The MG-3U carries a 10 year warranty, though it is expected to run for years after that with routine care. 

WHY it's better: The Merrow Edge is the standard bearer for emblem edging on smaller patches, badges, and insignias. Noticeable for its finish and regularity, the Merrow Emblem Edge is a distinctive mark of quality that can only be made by the Merrow MG-3U. 

HOW it's better: The MG-3U uses lightweight moving parts and needle bearings that are manufactured to extremely high tolerances, permitting the fast and smooth starts and stops inherent in intermittent operations like emblem edging. As a result, sewing edges on an MG-3U assures a uniformly finished, unmatched stitch.
