Technical features

• The sewing machine is driven by an integrated positioning

drive. A controller controls the sewing drive and also 2 stepper motors for the X and Y motions required for generating the seam geometry.

• The clamps are raised by a stepper motor.

• The maximum size of the sewing field is 40 mm in the X

direction (lateral to the arm) and 30 mm in the Y direction (parallel to the arm).

• The upper section is oil-free. This means that there is no

danger of soiling the sewn material with oil.

• The hook is lubricated by a wick lubrication system, fed from a

reservoir visible to the operator.

• 50 pre-programmed bartacks are available. The standard

patterns can be temporarily modified (changes to the total length, total width, speed). When the machine is switched off, the modified values of the most recently used bartack are restored when the machine is switched on again.

• 50 additional modified standard patterns can also be stored.

• A maximum of 16,000 stitches can be stored.

• 25 sequence programs with up to 30 seam appearances per

sequence can be stored.

• The coordinate entry system has an accuracy of 0.1 mm.

• The machine has a bobbin thread decrementing counter and a

daily item counter.
