2. Features

The cxtcn~ive design of various components and lubrication system and also the addition of the needle cooler

device on this model assure the normal operation of maximum high speed of 6,000 stitches per

minute. without

 

any

troubles.

 

 

A)

Combined lubrication system of forced lubrication by geared pump, sprash lubrication and oil wick lubrication.

B) Unique design of needle bar mechanism has lessened its weight as we11 as ensures forced

lubrication to its

~

every working part.

 

......_

C)Exclusively designed over looper mechanism has made the use of light alloy possible and also ensures smooth lubrication to the end.

D)Holders are made of duralmin to decrease weight. Main rods and bushings are made of phospher bronze a11oy.

E)Major moving parts are perfectly lubricated inside the totally enclosed main body, so they will never be exposed to outside dusts.

*The upper knife is L-shaped to make the threading and replacement of the needle easy. Besides the carbide

tip promises long durability of the knife.

*Stitch can be easily regulated by push-button. with the scale on the face plate, thus it is-unnecessary to change

the eccentrics when you would like to change the stitch length_

*Differential feed can be easily adjusted by the lever for gathering or stretching without soiling your hands.

This also applies for the instantaneous differential adjustment obtainable.

*Durable chain stitch looper's movement in forward-backward direction can be adjusted to obtain the proper

amount of clearance between the looper and needle according to the size of needle.

*Thread tension of the double chain stitch looper can be easily adjusted without opening the cover.

*Ample space on the cloth plate allows easy sewing operation and if you want. double chain stitch with edge

cutting work can be obtained without using the overedging mechanism.

*Oil level in the oil reservoir is shmn1 on the special oil gauge on the front side of the machine. *Lubrication can be easily checked through the oil window in the top cover.

*Needle cooler device ensures perfect sewing operation even with synthetic materials and threads at the high

speed of 6,000 stitches per minute.

 

*Colour combination of TAN -BEIGE is in

well harmony with your modern factory, and operator's atigue can

be lessened.

 

*As differental radio can be adjusted up

to 2.5. this is suitable for sewing of cloth which is ease to spread

such as knitted fabric.

3. Operation

A. Sewing speed

lVlaxtmum speed of thts machine is 6,000 stitches per minute. For the first 100 actual working hours, however. the new machme should be operated at about 5,000 s.p.m. so that all the working parts are well run-in. After thts runnmg-m penod. ~'OU may operate the machine at maximum speed of 6.000 stitches per minute. This is destrable for machine's long life.

B. Motor, motor pulley and belt.

I)Use a clutch motor, l/2 Hp, 2 pole, single or three phase. Our motor available is Models 1\;'lD-344 (single phase) and MD-354 (three phase)

2)Use M-type V-belt.

3)Machine speed (s.p.m.), diameter of motor pulley and length of motor belt ts related to the fo])owing table.
