Technical Specifications
2 Technical Specifications
The 550-532 is a CNC double lock stitch button sewing automat
with automatic button feeder.
2.1 Characteristics
The existing programs are scalable and can be saved in this
modified form. The machine is equipped with an automatic sewing
foot lifter, thread cutter, thread wiper, a needle thread clamp below
the throat plate for reliable sewing-on and an integrated DC direct
drive including a control panel.
Technical features
• The sewing automat 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 clamping feet 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 machine head is oil-free. This means that there is no danger of soiling the sewing material with oil.
• The hook is lubricated by a wick lubrication system, fed from a
reservoir visible to the operator.
• A maximum of 33 pre-programmed standard button patterns
are available. These 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.
• The maximum number of stitches that can be stored is 16,000.
• 25 sequence programs with up to 30 seam patterns per
sequence can be stored.
• The coordinate entry system has an accuracy of 0.1 mm.
• Bobbin thread decrementing counter and a daily piece counter
• The arm shaft of the button sewing automat is directly driven
by a brushless DC motor.
-1
• Speeds of up to 3,000 min
• Up to 10 user-defined button patterns can be programmed
and stored.
Instruction manual 550-532 - 00.0 - 07/2015 11
can be set at 100 min-1 increments.
Page 14
Technical Specifications
• A total of 50 button patterns can be stored under the 25 favorite buttons.
• An electropneumatic feeding system is used to feed round flat
buttons with 4 and 2 holes to the machine.
• The buttons to be fed are separated by a vibrating system.
• The machine comes standard with a feeding system designed
to handle buttons with 2 and 4 holes.
• A feeding system for 3 and 5-hole buttons can be ordered as
optional equipment.
2.2 Declaration of Conformity
The machine complies with the European regulations specified in
the Declaration of Conformity or in the Declaration of Incorporation.
2.3 Additional equipment
A flexible system of additional equipment allows the machine to
be optimally equipped for any application at low cost.

5 Operation of the sewing automat
5.1 Threading the needle thread
1. Plug the thread reels onto the thread reel holder and feed the
needle and hook threads through the unwinding bracket.
The unwinding bracket must stand horizontally above the
thread reels.
2. Thread the needle thread as shown in the following figure.
Fig. 2: Threading the needle thread
CAUTION
Risk of injury from the point of the needle and
moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing
automat switched off.
(1) - Silicone lubricator (optional) (2) - Guide
3. Pull the needle thread approx. 4 cm through the needle after
threading. This ensures reliable sewing-on.
4. When using silicone oil, also thread the needle thread through
the optional silicone lubricator (1).

5.2 Switching on the machine
1. Main switch ON.
The last seam pattern sewn is loaded and the seam pattern
number is shown in the Program display.
5.3 Setting the needle thread tension
Fig. 3: Setting the needle thread tension
Preliminary tension of the needle thread
With an open primary tensioner (2) a small amount of residual
tension of the needle thread is required. The residual tension is
generated by the preliminary tensioner (1).
The preliminary tension also affects the length of the cut needle
thread end (starting thread for the next seam).
1. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) clockwise (- direction) for
a shorter starting thread.
2. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) counterclockwise
(+ direction) for a longer starting thread.
Instruction manual 550-532 - 00.0 - 07/201524
Page 27
Operation of the sewing automat
Primary tension of the needle thread
1. Set the primary tension of the needle thread (2) to be as low
as possible.
The thread interlacing should be exactly in the middle of the
sewing material. With thin sewing material, excessive thread
tension can lead to undesired gathering and thread
breakages.
Opening the needle thread tensioner
The primary tensioner (2) is automatically opened during thread
cutting and when the clamping feet are raised.

5.4 Setting the thread regulator
CAUTION
Risk of injury from the point of the needle and
moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing
automat switched off.
Fig. 4: Setting the thread regulator
The thread regulator (1) regulates the amount of needle thread
required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result is possible only when the thread regulator is exactly adjusted.
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the
thickest part of the hook at low tension.
1. Loosen the screw (3).
2. Adjust the position of the thread regulator (1).
Thread regulator to the left = larger amount of needle thread
Thread regulator to the right = smaller amount of needle th read
3. Tighten the screw (3).

Adjustment note:
When the maximum thread quantity is required then the thread
tension spring (2) must be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down from its
upper end position. This occurs when the needle thread loop
passes the maximum hook diameter.
5.5 Winding the hook thread
Fig. 5: Winding the hook thread
1. Fit the bobbin (2) on the bobbin shaft (3).
2. Pull the thread throug h the guide (5) and around the tensioner (6).
3. Wind the thread counterclockwise approx. 5 x around the bob-
bin core (2).
4. Press the bobbin lever (4) into the bobbin.
5. Start sewing.
The bobbin winder stops automatically when the configured
bobbin filling length has been reached (see Service
Instructions).
6. Tear off the thread at the thread clamp (1) after winding.

Lint and thread remnants should be removed after every 8 hours
of operation using a compressed air gun or a brush. When sewing
very fluffy material, the machine should be cleaned more frequently.
A clean sewing machine provides protection from faults.
Points that need to be cleaned particularly thoroughly:
• Area under the throat plate (1)
• Area around the hook (2)
• Bobbin housing and interior
• Thread cutter
• Area around the needle
