RFQ Scope for a Six-Head Automatic Embroidery Machine
Buyers should define head count, embroidery area, speed expectations, options and exclusions in the RFQ so suppliers quote comparable six-head automatic embroidery machines for fabric processing.
Start the RFQ by fixing the head count at six and stating the embroidery area you need per head; the catalog reference lists 900 × 1,500 mm per head, but confirm the area offered on the quoted model rather than assuming it. Ask each supplier to state the maximum machine speed of the offered configuration, since the reference value of 1,200 rpm may not apply to every setup.
Make the scope explicit. Will the quote include fabric handling and framing arrangements, thread and bobbin supplies, and the software needed to prepare designs? List options separately, such as additional hoops or monitoring features, so base prices stay comparable. State exclusions clearly: installation, operator training, freight, and spare-parts kits should each be marked included or excluded.
For demonstrations and acceptance tests, specify the fabric types and design sizes to be run, the number of heads in operation, and how speed and stitch quality will be recorded. Ask suppliers to describe how they will verify the embroidery area per head on your sample fabric.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier the exact head count and embroidery area of the offered model, the maximum speed in the quoted configuration, which options and exclusions apply, and what demonstration or acceptance evidence will be provided.
