B.2.16 Switches

The short seam automat is equipped with three different types of switches:

• Emergency switch for stopping a sewing program,

• supply switch for voltage and vacuum pump,

• control switches for controlling the machine operation.

Emergency switch:

Program stop key

When the program stop key 1 is pressed, all machine movements and the sewing process are stopped immediately. The switch engages when pressed. Rotating the switch in the clockwise direction will release the switch, and it moves back into its original position. The control program performs a reset.

Fig. 19

Supply switches:

Main switch

The main switch 2 is used to turn the power supply of the machine on or off. For safety reasons, the machine must be turned off using the main switch when it is standing still for an extended period; in this case, all functional units are deactivated. The main switch also serves as an additional emergency off switch.

Vacuum switch

The vacuum switch 5 is used to turn the optional vacuum pump on and off.

Control switches:

Footswitch for machine operation

This footswitch 3 is used to control the individual operating steps of the machine or for starting the fully automatic machine operation.

Footswitch for slash selvage clamp

Depressing the footswitch for the slash selvage clamp

will open or close the slash selvage clamp indepen-

dently of the switching state.

Clothing:

CAUTION - Unsuited work clothing!

As moving parts of the machine may catch and wind up loose clothing, make sure to stay away from the operating range of the machine to avoid injuries.

• When operating the machine, do not wear wide or open clothing!

• Make sure that sleeves are tight-fitting and properly closed!

Handling the guide laser:

CAUTION - Damage of the retina!

If the eye is directed toward the laser beam for some time, the retina may be damaged.

• Do not look directly into the laser beam!

• Do not direct laser beam into eyes!

CAUTION - Laser beam change!

An optical change of the laser beam may increase its luminous intensity and cause eye injuries.

• If the direction of the laser beam is changed, if the laser beam is misadjusted or if the laser optics are damaged, turn the machine off and shut it down.

• Do not allow optical equipment (burning glasses or lenses) to interfere with the laser beam path.

B.3.2 Preparing the machine

Prior to the production start, check the supply connections, connect the machine to the compressed air and power supply systems and prepare the sewing head.

1. Insert needle, pass top thread through needle and insert bobbin for bottom thread into sewing head (see working instructions of sewing head manufacturer or supplier).

2. Fig 21: Connect machine to compressed air supply by inserting the plug-in connector 4 of the compressed air supply hose into the compressed air receptacle in the operating room. The pressure of the compressed air is reduced to the required operating pressure of 6 bar by a pressure reducer 3. Check manometer to see if the correct operating pressure is set. The pressure reducer is installed at the side mounting wall of the worktable.

3. Connect machine to power supply system.

WARNING - Electric shock:

Contact with current-carrying components may cause a lethal electric shock. Check plug and cable before connecting machine to power supply system.

• Do not use damaged plugs, sockets or cables to connect the machine to the power supply system!

• The machine is connected to a power source of 230 V ±10 % at 50/60 Hz.

• Before connecting the machine to the power supply system, check to see if the ratings of the power supply system in the operating room correspond with the ratings on the nameplate at the rear of the machine.

• If the ratings for voltage (V) and maximum current (A) do not match, the machine must not be connected.

• Insert the grounding plug into a properly grounded and fused power socket.

• Make sure that the power supply cable is not subject to tensile or pressure forces.

4. Turn machine on by moving the main switch 1 into the position I.

5. Turn the vacuum pump of the machine on. Press vacuum switch 8 or open on-site vacuum supply.

Fig. 21

NOTE - Vacuum supply!

If the machine is equipped with the optional vacuum pump, the vacuum supply is now ready for operation. If the machine is prepared for the on-site vacuum supply system, the on-site vacuum hose 5 must be connected to the sleeve 7 of the vacuum valve 6.

The machine is ready for operation.

B.3.3 Selecting the sewing program

After the machine has been turned on and the control program has been activated, the sewing program that had been selected last is set. Sewing programs are stored in the memory (M) where up to 50 sewing programs (M 01 - M 50) can be programmed. To each sewing program, up to six seam numbers (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06) are assigned.

Fig. 22: The program control of the machine is programmed at the factory with a sewing program 1with three different seams 2. The name of the sewing program is M 01, the seams are marked by the seam numbers (01, 02, 03):

• Seam 01 is used for clipping and crimping over the left

slash selvage and for sewing the left slash selvage to the left trousers component.

• Seam 02 is used for sewing the right slash selvage to

the right trouser component.

• Seam 03 is a test seam that is restricted to two func-

tions:

• Clamp movement from the insertion station to the sewing head,

• Starting/ending the complete sewing process.

The test seam is used for checking the clamp transport and the sewing process when the machine is set up.
