5. Production support function

The production support function consists of three different functions (six different modes) such as the produc-
tion volume management function, operation measuring function and bobbin counter function. Each of them
has its own production support effect. Select the appropriate function (mode) as required.
Production volume management function
■
Target number of pcs. display mode [F100]
Target/actual number of pcs difference display mode [F200]
The target number of pieces, actual number of pieces and the difference between the target and actu-
al number of pieces along with the operation time are displayed to notify the operators of a delay and
advance in real time. Sewing machine operators are allowed to engage sewing while constantly checking
his/her work pace. This helps raise target awareness, thereby increasing productivity. In addition, a delay
in work can be found at an early stage to enable early detection of problems and early implementation of
corrective measures.
Operation measuring function

Sewing machine availability rate display mode [F300]
Pitch time display mode [F400]
Average number of revolutions display mode [F500]
Sewing machine availability status is automatically measured and displayed on the control panel. The
data obtained can be used as basic data to perform process analyses, line arrangement and equipment
efciency checkup.

8. Detailed explanation of selection of functions

Selection of the soft-start function (function setting Nos. 1 and 37)
The needle thread may fail to interlace with the bobbin thread at the start of sewing when the stitching pitch (stitch length) is small or a thick needle is used. To solve such problem, this function (called “soft-start”) is used to limit the sewing speed, thereby assuring successful formation of the starting stitches.
1 1
The sewing speed limited by the soft-start function can be changed. (Function setting No. 37)
3 7 02 0
Material edge sensor function (function setting Nos. 2 to 4, 76)
This function is enabled when the material edge sensor is installed on the sewing machine. Refer to "III-17. How to connect the material edge sensor" p.53 for details.
(Caution) This function is rendered effective only with the CP-18.
Bobbin thread counting function (function setting No. 6)
When the control panel is used, the function subtracts from the predetermined value and indicates the used amount of bobbin thread. For the details, refer to the instruction manual for the control panel.
6 1
(Caution) If “0” is set, the LCD indication on the control panel will go out and the bobbin thread count-
ing function will be invalid.
0 : The function is not selected. 1 to 9 : The number of stitches to be sewn under the soft-start mode.
Data setting range 100 to MAX sti/min < 10 sti/min >
(The MAX value varies with the machine head.)
0 : Bobbin thread counting function is not operative.
1 : Bobbin thread counting function is operative.
Thread trimming prohibiting function (function setting No. 9)
This function turns OFF thread trimming solenoid output when thread trimming is actuated.
(Caution) This function is rendered effective only with the CP-18.
By this function, separate sewing material can be spliced and sewn without trimming thread.
0 : OFF Thread trimming is operative. (Thread can be trimmed.)
9 0
Setting of the needle bar stop position when the sewing machine stops (function setting No. 10)
1 : ON Thread trimming is inoperative. (Thread can not be trimmed.)
The position of the needle bar when the pedal is in its neutral position is specied.
1 0 0
0 : Down The needle bar stops in the lowest position of its stroke.
1 : Up The needle bar stops in the highest position of its stroke.
(Caution) If the stop position of the needle bar is set to the highest position, the thread trimming action
will be taken after the needle bar comes down once to the lowest position.
Panel operating sound (function setting No. 11)
Whether the panel operation generates sound or not can be selected.
1 1 1
0 : OFF Operation conrmation sound is not generated
1 : ON Operation conrmation sound is generated.
