Resumen: The main purpose of the article is to present the possibilities of producing composite reinforcement with the use of a computer embroidery machine. The study below presents the results of strength tests of composites containing technical embroidery, woven fabric, and UD fabric as the reinforcement. Each of the samples was made of the same material—flax roving. The samples differed from each other in the arrangement of layers in the reinforcement. The composites were made using the infusion method with epoxy resin. The embroidery was made on a ZSK embroidery machine, type JCZA 0109-550. A total of 12 types of composites were produced and tested. The test material was subjected to strength tests—tensile strength, tensile elongation, and shear strength, on the INSTRON machine. As the research showed, the use of technical embroidery as a composite reinforcement increases its tensile strength. Furthermore, the use of embroidery is a vertical reinforcement of the composite and prevents the formation of interlayer cracks. The technology of technical embroidery allows for optimizing the mechanical values of the composite reinforcement.
