Needle tension is digitally controlled
Needle thread tension which matches sewing conditions given can be set on the operation panel and stored in memory. The needle thread tension adjustment needs experience. However, for this sewing machine, thread tension data stored in memory is reproducible, thereby reducing the setup time when the product to be sewn is changed. Example: Needle-thread active tension demonstrates its effectiveness in the topstitching process.
Active presser foot pressure mechanism
The presser foot pressure is digitally controlled
Digital control system controls the presser foot pressure. Under the automatic mode, the multi-layered section detection function detects changes in material thickness to increase/decrease the presser foot pressure accordingly. Under the manual mode, the presser foot pressure control function is assigned to the hand switch to enable operation with the hand switch.
Best-suited stitches are produced at multi-layered parts of material
Multi-layered part detection function
Multi-layered parts of material which occur in the case two or more plies of material are sewn or different kinds of material are sewn can be detected by the multi-layered part detection function to change over the stitch length, thread tension, presser foot presser and amount of alternate vertical movement to those that have been predetermined for sewing those parts of material.
Setting of thresholds for the multi-layered part detection
Under the teaching mode for the multi-layered part changeover ON sensor value, the material thickness at the normal part and that at the multi-layered part of material can be measured with ease. The automatically-measured thresholds can be set as those for the multi-layered part detection.
Multi-functional 6-string switch
Sewing conditions can be changed to the best-suited ones only with the one-touch changeover switch.
The sewing data (stitch length, needle thread tension, amount of alternate vertical movement, presser foot pressure and sewing speed) can be changed easily with the one-touch changeover switch to obtain the ones that have been elaborated according to sewing conditions. The sewing data (stitch length, needle thread tension, amount of alternate vertical movement, presser foot pressure and sewing speed) can be changed easily with the one-touch changeover switch to obtain the ones that have been elaborated according to sewing conditions. Four different one-touch functions can be assigned to six-gang hand switches ① to ⑥, touch-back switch and jog dial, at the maximum. (*For the initial settings, the one-touch functions are assigned to 6-gang switches ① to ③.)
Improvement of operability by means of the jog dial
The operator is able to turn the main shaft (for moving the needle bar up and down) only with the jog dial without stretching his/her arm to the handwheel. When the jog dial is pushed, it can be used as 1/2 needle-stitch correction switch (one touch function).
