Cleanliness and organisation in day-to-day production with the ZSK SPRINT. In production environments, dust and airborne fibres cannot be completely avoided. During idle periods – such as overnight, at weekends or during holidays – particles settle on open embroidery machines. Especially with compact single-head machines like the ZSK SPRINT, which are often used flexibly or positioned in areas with customer contact, a clean and consistent appearance plays an important role. Designed specifically for the SPRINT series, the ZSK protective cover is made from durable, tear-resistant and water-repellent fabric:: it reduces contamination during downtime while maintaining a clean and professional overall appearance of your machine. Even without a cover, ZSK embroidery machines are designed for reliable operation in typical production environments. However, the protective cover is a practical addition to further improve cleanliness and visual presentation. The cover is finished in black and features a white ZSK logo. This ensures your SPRINT embroidery machine remains well-presented, high-quality and on-brand, even during idle periods. Your benefits in industrial use Reduced contamination: Minimises dust, airborne fibres and deposits on sensitive components Stable restart conditions: Reduced cleaning effort after downtime Physical protection: Prevents objects from being unintentionally placed on the machine UV and light protection: Supports the long-term preservation of plastic components and sensors Professional appearance: Helps maintain a clean and organised production environment The protective cover is a simple and practical addition for daily use with your ZSK SPRINT – supporting greater cleanliness, structure and a professional appearance in your production environment. Additional product information Material: Durable ripstop fabric with a water-repellent PVC coating Outer colour: Black Print: White ZSK logo with the wording "ready to sprint ahead?" Closure: Adjustable drawstring at the bottom edge with cord stopper for a secure fit Compatibility: Not suitable for SPRINT L and XL versions Care instructions Wipe clean with a damp cloth only.

AirBroidery – Wireless Embroidery Design Transfer Made Simple and Reliable. With the ZSK WLAN stick AirBroidery, embroidery designs can be transferred wirelessly to your ZSK embroidery machine – directly from a PC, tablet or smartphone. Developed specifically for ZSK control systems, AirBroidery enables simple wireless design transfer without additional software or complicated network configuration. Using the integrated web interface, embroidery designs can easily be uploaded and managed through a standard web browser. AirBroidery can either operate as its own wireless access point or be integrated into an existing company network. The industrial-grade design is built for reliable continuous operation in production environments and simplifies the daily handling of embroidery designs considerably. Why AirBroidery Makes a Difference in Daily Production AirBroidery was not designed as a generic wireless adapter, but specifically for use with ZSK embroidery machines. This allows the system to combine the simplicity of a USB stick with the convenience of modern wireless data transfer. Plug & Play instead of IT complexity: AirBroidery is simply connected to the USB port of the machine control and is immediately ready for use. No drivers, additional software or complicated network setup are required. Browser-based operation: Design transfer is handled through an integrated web interface. Windows PCs, Macs, tablets and smartphones can all be used – all that is required is a web browser. Developed specifically for ZSK controls: AirBroidery is recognised by the machine control like a standard USB stick. Existing ZSK control systems with a USB port can therefore be used without firmware updates or modifications. Flexible network integration: AirBroidery can operate as a standalone wireless access point or be integrated into an existing company network. Embroidery designs can therefore be transferred directly from any workstation. Reliable even if network issues occur: If the company network becomes unavailable or network settings change, AirBroidery can continue operating in standalone mode. Access to the machine remains available. Convenient design management: Embroidery designs can be uploaded, organised or deleted through the web interface. New designs can be transferred easily via drag & drop. Designed for industrial environments: AirBroidery is built for continuous operation in production environments, offering robust functionality, high reliability and low heat generation. A Practical Solution for Modern Design Transfer AirBroidery reduces the need to handle physical USB sticks and simplifies the daily workflow of embroidery design management. The system integrates seamlessly into existing production processes and creates a direct wireless connection between the workstation and the ZSK embroidery machine. Compatibility AirBroidery is compatible with current ZSK controls and, in combination with the ZSK USB Floppy Emulator, can even enable wireless design transfer on machines dating back to the late 1980s. Important when using the ZSK USB Floppy Emulator: an SD card is required. For MSCD controls, files in the folders “00.ZSK” to “99.ZSK” must be named sequentially from G000 to G099, e.g. G0xx.DST, G0xx.DSB, G0xx.DSZ.

More than Wi-Fi Connectivity for Your Embroidery Machine. Including Automatic Distribution of Embroidery Designs.. WiFi Mapa adds wireless Wi-Fi connectivity to embroidery machines equipped with a USB port while simultaneously automating the distribution of embroidery files. Instead of manually transferring designs to individual machines using USB drives, embroidery files are centrally managed and automatically made available on their assigned machines. Especially in operations with multiple machines, WiFi Mapa significantly reduces administrative effort. New or updated embroidery files only need to be saved once and are then automatically available on the appropriate machine. Embroidery Files Where They Are Needed Each machine is assigned a dedicated folder on a central computer or server. The WiFi Mapa software monitors these folders and automatically synchronises new or modified files with the corresponding machines. Changes are applied automatically, ensuring that the latest version of each assigned embroidery design is always available on the machine. In practice, this means an embroidery design can be saved at a workstation and shortly afterwards be ready for use on the assigned machine – without a USB drive, without network cables and without any additional transfer process. Less Administration, More Production Anyone operating multiple embroidery machines is familiar with the effort involved in distributing and maintaining embroidery files. Files must be copied, transferred and kept up to date across different machines. With WiFi Mapa, this process is handled automatically. This reduces the risk of accidentally working with an outdated file version. At the same time, unnecessary walking distances are eliminated and workflows become more streamlined and organised. Ideal for Existing Machine Fleets WiFi Mapa is particularly attractive for businesses whose machines currently receive embroidery data only via network cables or USB drives. The Wi-Fi adapter connects the machine wirelessly to the network, enabling modern digital workflows even on existing equipment. The software runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and can either be integrated into existing company networks or provide its own wireless network. Supports Existing Barcode and QR Code Workflows The integrated barcode scanner can be incorporated into existing production processes. Existing QR codes and barcodes generated by embroidery software solutions such as Wilcom EmbroideryStudio, BasePac or comparable systems can continue to be used. This enables faster assignment and deployment of jobs and embroidery designs. At a Glance Wi-Fi Connectivity: Operates as its own wireless network or integrates into existing company networks Automatic Synchronisation: New and updated embroidery files are automatically transferred and kept up to date Centralised Management: Freely configurable folder structures with individual assignment to specific machines Current Data: The latest version of each assigned embroidery design is always available on the respective machine Barcode Support: Integration of existing QR code and barcode workflows via the integrated scanner Flexible Deployment: Suitable for individual machines as well as larger machine fleets Cross-Platform: Software available for Windows, macOS and Linux More Than Just a Wi-Fi Connection WiFi Mapa does more than simply connect your embroidery machines wirelessly to the network. The system automates the distribution of embroidery files and ensures that up-to-date data is always available on the correct machine. This saves time, reduces administrative effort and supports an efficient production workflow.

Tools for Setting Embroidery Needles.

Produce embroidered patches faster and more precisely.. This magnetic patch frame is based on the proven ZSK SPRINT Border Frame and adds a separate lower frame that holds a hook-and-loop backing plate measuring 470 × 320 mm. Embroider your emblems and designs into the tensioned fabric first, then add the patch backing in a single, repeatable workflow – ready for laser cutting. How it works Hoop the fabric. Tension your base fabric in the SPRINT border frame and embroider the emblems or designs as usual. Insert the hook-and-loop plate. Place a 470 × 320 mm hook-and-loop plate into the separate lower frame. Fix with magnets. The lower frame is held in position underneath the border frame by magnets – no tools, no screws, exact repeat positioning. Sew on the hook-and-loop. Stitch the hook-and-loop backing to the patches in the same run. Cut to shape. Send the finished patches straight to the laser cutter for clean, contour-accurate edges. /ol> Your advantages Two steps in one setup: Embroider the emblem and attach the hook-and-loop backing without re-hooping – fewer handling steps, higher throughput. Repeatable accuracy: Magnetic fixing locates the lower frame in exactly the same position every cycle, keeping embroidery, backing and laser contour perfectly aligned. Toolless changeover: Magnets replace clamps and screws – fast plate changes and minimal downtime between runs. Built for laser finishing: The hook-and-loop plate format of 470 × 320 mm is designed for an efficient embroider-and-cut process with clean laser-cut edges. Based on a proven system: Built on the established ZSK SPRINT Border Frame, so it integrates into your existing SPRINT workflow. Ideal for series production: Perfect for patches, emblems, name tags and branding elements in batch quantities. Application areas Patch and emblem manufacturing, workwear and uniform branding, sportswear, promotional and merchandising patches, and any application that combines embroidery with hook-and-loop backing and laser contour cutting.

Wide-area towel embroidery across the full width. The towel frame enables wide-area embroidery on towels within a defined embroidery corridor. This allows designs, logos or lettering to be positioned much more flexibly than with standard single frames. Instead of being limited to small, predefined embroidery areas, the embroidery can be positioned across the full width of the towel. This makes it easier to create wide designs, borders, names or decorative applications for hotels, wellness, sports and promotional textiles. For wide designs and flexible positioning The maximum embroidery area is 558 × 155 mm. The usable embroidery width can be flexibly adjusted from 54.5 to 155 mm, allowing it to be adapted to different towel sizes and design requirements. Suitable for ZSK machines with a large embroidery field The towel frame is suitable for ZSK flatbed machines and RACER models with an embroidery field depth of at least 700 mm. It is designed for the Z connection.
