6. CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY

AND AIR

6.1. The socket of the safety coupler ensures the easy connection of the air modification UHT.

On a regular basis we recommend to use the socket 25 KE AK 13. (order no. FESTO 151

776 designation KD -1/4, order no. RECTUS 38044). The unit has a matching input

. The input pressure must be higher by at least 1 bar (0,1Mpa) than the output pressure adjusted on the controller . Alternatively, it is possible to use a different connection of air inlet. In this case the manufacturer recommends to complement the air connection with manual closure so as is possible to stop the air supply.

6.2. After connecting the air check the set pressure on the controller . It must be min. 0,55

MPa. The correction can be carried out by pushing out the closure . Increase the set pressure by turning clockwise, decrease it by turning anticlockwise. Push the closure in again.

6.3. The electric power supply needs to be of 230V. The electricity distribution socket for the supply fork must meet the requirements of the norm IEC 364-4-41, it must have a 10A

„C“ fuse according to EN 60947-2 (event. 16A „B“ fuse). No other appliances can be connected to the circuit of the fused socket.

NOTE!

The machine is fitted with a filter for the reason of interference elimination according to

EMC - ÈSN EN 50081-1 and 50081-2. In case there is a current protector connected to the supply network you must use the type designed for devices with stray current and with high resistance to surge current in the operating wire (e.g. type „S“).

6.4. The provided warranty does not cover the LED diodes of the machine´s sewing light.

4. BUTTON SEWING ADJUSTMENT

Before the first sewing of any new button, the machine needs to be properly adjusted based on the properties of this button and demanded sewing parameters. It is worthy to store this setting in one of the button programs (refer to chapter D 2) so that it can be subsequently reused.

This chapter describes the sequence of button sewing adjustment: the initial operations are described in chapter 4.1., adjustment of buttons with holes is then described in chapter 4.2., whereas shank buttons are described in chapter 4.3. Chapter 4.4. describes further sewing adjustment for both buttons with holes and shank buttons.

4.1. PREPARING FOR FIRST SEWING

Once the machine is in Home Position (refer to chapter C 1) it can be prepared for sewing. The procedure is the following:

4.1.1. Set the main sewing parameters: a) Type of the button and stitching method you want to sew on the Button Style screen.

b) Number of button attaching stitches by icons

op-

Normally, all neck wraps are sewn on the same position for shank buttons; if you like to distribute the wraps across the neck, proceed to the last wrap (“Neck Wrap 17/17”) and adjust the Y-position of the last wrap using icons . You can use icons to adjust the wrapping width - extending the width can help in avoiding collision with the shank eye.

4.3.6. Finish the jogging till the last final locking (“End Lock”) stitch.

4.4. FURTHERSEWING ADJUSTMENT

You are now done with the basic sewing adjustment. Further sewing adjustments described in this chapter help to obtain optimal sewing results according to your requirements.

Start by setting lower sewing speeds on the Sewing Speed Adjustment screen and low values of thread tension on the Thread Tension Adjustment screen. You can try to sew the first button and based on the result, adjust the following parameters:

4.4.1. Sewing tension shall be adjusted for individual sewing phases. Basically, small values are recommended for initial locking stitches and show stitch to avoid fabric puckering, medium values for button attaching , high values for neck wrapping

to get a firm neck, and similarly for final locking stitches .

4.4.2. Sewing speed is again adjustable in different sewing phases and is related to the thread tension - the higher sewing speed results in higher tension. It is recommended to set smaller speeds for potentially dangerous situations (e.g., sewing close to the button or pucker-pin is adjusted).

4.4.3. For buttons with holes only, an unintended fabric puckering can be suppressed by adjusting the button position during button attaching - higher position means looser button attaching threads and consequent reduced puckering.

4.4.4. By icons you can optimally adjust the button position during neck wrapping for both buttons with holes and shank buttons.
