Humidity and Embroidering Machines

[Doug S]

What are the possible damages of having and embroider machine operating in a non humidity controlled environment.  We have one coming and are space limited so the only place to put it besides tearing down a wall is going to be in an area that has no ac and gets fairly hot and humid in the summer.  We live in southeast Arkansas if that tells you anything.  Thanks in advance.

Tear down the wall.  A lot of small moving (metal) parts and computer components.  We are in S. MS so I feel your pain.

Measure your temperature and humidity, then talk to a tech guy, he might have more experience in knowing break downs.

We run our machines in air conditioned room just to be safe because humidity can reach 70%.

  Humidity will greatly affect the shelf life of your thread and bobbins.

And with humidity the water from it will get and create problems on the machinery. Like a car does. in too much salt. RUST!
