MakerFX is receiving a donation of a Barudan BENT-ZQ-201U (exact model needs to be confirmed) Embroidery Machine

Machine is a 15 needle single head professional embroidery machine - this means you can have 15 colors in a design without stopping to change thread colors - but only do one piece of art at a time. (Barudan also makes multiple head machines that can embroider multiple pieces of art at the same time)

BENT appears to be the series of the machine, with ZQ the head style designator ZQ = 15 needle). This model also appears to be called the Barudan Elite (there have been successor Elite Pro, Elite Pro II, etc.)


Current State

  • Machine needs to be moved from its current location in Plant City, FL
  • Machine is believed to be usable, but current owner does not have operational knowledge of the machine

Parts

To Research

Software Support

  • Barudan TES - There is a viewer that will convert .dst to .fmc if needed (free), and there is a version that does full digitizing too
  • Embird - shows Barudan Support
  • Wilcom - Serial Connection - Shows Barudan support, but not the BENT model specifically
  • File Formats list - Looks like Barudan added .DST file support at some point, need to confirm BENT can take .DST vs. the Barudan specific .FMC

Note that Mike & Tiffany use Embrilliance for mac which can output .DST files, but not .FMC files (quick scan of website)
