Machine for sewing envelopes into pouches, in correspondence with an opening delimited by two free overlapping flaps, the machine includes a support base; a sewing head, mechanically mounted on the support base, configured to make a sewing line along a sewing direction; retaining means for retaining the free flaps of said envelope like a bag; first movement means for realizing a relative movement between said sewing head and the holding means along a first movement direction substantially parallel to the sewing line; second movement means for moving the sewing head and/or holding means at least along a second movement direction orthogonal with respect to the first movement direction; at least a first sensor configured to detect an extremal edge of the free edges; at least one electronic control unit for generating the relative motion between the support base and/or the holding means along the second movement direction.

Due to rapid advancement in computing technology of both hardware and software, the labor intensive sewing process has been transformed into a technology-intensive automated process. During an automated process, product materials may become wrinkled or folded, which can slow down the automated process or result in human intervention. Various examples are provided related to the automation of sewing robots, and removal of wrinkles from products. Images of material on a work table can be captured and analyzed to determine if there are wrinkles or folds in the product. The robot can remove the wrinkle or fold by manipulating the material through the use of end effectors such as, e.g., budgers.
