11.08.01 Program structure

Each data record consists of three elements:

Program header

The purpose of this feature is to manage the programs and it contains details of the program

number and the length of the program.

Geometrical data record

This consists of elements, so-called sections, which can be divided into two groups:

● Sections, which influence the geometry of the seam pattern

● Sections with machine functions

Stitch data record

This is necessary for the sewing operation and is generated from the geometrical data

record by stitch generation. It consists of coordinate pairs and machine commands, and is concluded by the end-of-program command.

Line

(number key 2)

A straight line is a direct connection between two points.

To insert a straight line, a stitch length must be defined.

Single stitch

(number key 3)

A single stitch or step forward is entered. No stitch length is taken into consideration. The

single stitch or step forward can be max. 6 mm.

Curve (number key 4)

Any desired number of points can be entered on the curve. Taking the stitch length into

consideration, the controller calculates the run of the curve. These points do not necessarily

have to be penetration points. A stitch length must be defined. The greater the number of

points inserted, the more exact is the run of the curve.

Fast slew

(number key 5)

This serves the purpose of quickly moving the carriage drive. Both axes are moved

independently from each other to the end point as quickly as possible. The resulting path

travelled is therefore not a straight line. To travel an exact path, it is necessary to work with

a straight line or curve without sewing.

STITCH LENGTH

A stitch length is defined for a certain seam sector.

STITCH WIDTH

With this function the carriage drive carries out a zigzag movement on a base line. The

stitch length specifies the movement along the base line from one penetration to the

next and has to be selected accordingly. The stitch width is performed perpendicular to

the base line. The position of the zigzag to the base line must also be defined. To

switch off the stitch width, enter the width as 0.0.

CIRCLE

To enter a circle, 3 points are required. The first point is automatically the starting point.

Both missing points must be entered. A stitch length must be defined.

ARC

For the arc the same applies as for the circle. The last point is the end of the arc.

CURVE END POINT

With this function a curve point is turned into a curve end point.

With this function sewing is started. All following sections are sewn until the thread trimming function is selected.

Thread trimming

These maintenance intervals are calculated for the average running time of a

single shift operation. If the machine is operated for longer periods, shorter

maintenance intervals are recommended.

Care and maintenance

12.01 Cleaning the machine

The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors:

● Single or several shift operation

● Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece

It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each indivi-

dual case.

For all cleaning work the machine must be connected from the mains by

switching off the on/off switch or by removing the mains plug.

To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning work is recommended for single shift operation:

● Clean hook compartment and needle area of sewing head several times daily.

● Clean the entire machine at least once a week.

● Water bowl 1 drains itself automatically

when the compressed-air hose is discon-

nected from the air-filter/lubricator.

Cleaning filter 2:

● Unscrew water bowl 1.

● Take out filter 2.

● Clean filter 2 with compressed air or iso-

propyl alcohol (part No. 95-665 735-91).

● Screw in filter 2 and screw on water

bowl 1.

Switch the machine off!

Disconnect the air hose at the

air-filter/lubricator.

Care and maintenance

12.05 Checking/adjusting the air pressure

● Before operating the machine, always

check the air pressure on gauge1.

● Gauge 1 must show a pressure of 6 bar.

● If necessary adjust to this reading.

● To do so, pull knob 2 upwards and turn it

12.06 Topping up the oil tank

Care and maintenance

Fig. 12 - 05

Switch off the machine!

Danger of injury if the machine suddenly starts running!

● Open hook compartment cover 1.

The oil reservoir must always have oil in it.

● When required, fill oil into the tank 2 through hole 3 (fill max. up to line).

The oil tank 4 is not used as an oil level indicator, but only for filling tank 2.

Only use oil with a mean viscosity of 10.0 mm2/s at 40°C and a density of

0.847 g/cm3 at 15°C.

We recommend PFAFF sewing machine oil, part no. 280-1-120 105.

On the PFAFF 3586-2/02 do not use a screw clamp on the needle bar! The

special coating of the needle bar could be damaged.

13.01 Notes on adjusting

All adjustments in these adjustment instructions are based on a completely installed

machine and must only be carried out by appropriately trained specialists. Covers on the

machine which sometimes have to be removed and replaced for checks and adjustment

work are not mentioned here. The screws and nuts in brackets () are attachments of

machine parts which are to be loosened before making the adjustment and tightened again

after the adjustment has been carried out.
