This is an extremely flexible elec-tronic lockstitch button holer which can sew a large number of different buttonhole designs. These designs can be set easily using the operation panel, with-out the need to replace the cam. The quality of the finished but-tonholes is exceptional for both woven and knitted materials, and productivity has been dramatically increased.

This operation panel is simple in design and easy to use, and includes a careful selec-tion of functions which are necessary for normal sewing.There is a program memo pocket provided on the back of the panel. This lets the operator keep necessary information such as a parameter table, program notes and an error code table on hand for easy reference.

A wider operating area is available when the machine head is positioned horizontally on the work table. This positioning method is ideal for sewing vertical buttonholes.

Improved button hole positioning precision, and posi-tioning operations have been made easier.The presser foot lifter is driven by a pulse motor, so that the height can be adjusted as desired (standard function) for when the pedal is at the neutral posi-tion and when it is depressed forward (two stages) and backward.This makes insertion and removal of the material easier and reduces working fatigue.The presser foot rises only by the height neces-sary, so that the time needed for it to rise and drop can be shortened.

The cutter vertical movements is driven by a double position sole-noid, so that the material is cut more accurately.The simplified mechanism means there is no need for adjust-ments such as replacing cutter cams when changing the number of stitches.A special needle plate with the elasticity of rubber can be used with hard-to-cut and stretch materials.(option)The cutter operates without slowing down the sewing machine, and the cutter response time is also fast, so that cycle time is reduced and productivity is increased by about 20 %. (compared to B816)If not using a cutter, the cutter operation can be deactivated at the press of a key.

The left and right stitch width ratio for buttonholes can be set on the operation panel. This adjustment can be used to correct the appearance if the finish looks as though the left and right stitch widths are different.

This ideal for sewing stretch materials such as knitted articles. Up to three pattern can be combined and sewn together.

Effective for preventing material from stretching.If the seam is hidden and the width seems small, sew 2-3 underlays to make the material look more voluminous.Because the material can be move slightly up to five times, the seam flexibility is maintained and the button hole strength can also be increased.

This is useful for preventing dimples from forming during bar tacking.It is also effective for strengthening the buttonholes to stop the seam from unravelling, which can often happen with materials with coarseweaves.

If the cutter has operated before the seam has been formed (when the upper thread does not break when the lower thread has run out), zigzag stitches in particular may not hold properly. In such cases, the hole made by the cutter is sewn up beforehand.The pile of fluffy fabric is pressed down before sewing, so that the buttonhole finish looks more attractive.

Effective for preventing seam from unravelling.

The operation panel can be used to switch easily between one-cycle and two-cycle sew-ing.When set to two-cycle cross sewing, the zig-zag stitches sewn during the first and second cycles do not overlap with each other, so that the sewing pitch appears finer and the finish looks even more attractive.

The operation of the cutter can be set to one of four timings (front knife, center knife, rear knife and front + center knife). You can select whichever one provides the most attractive fin-ish.When the front knife setting is used, the rough edges are hemmed by the buttonhole stitches after cutting, thus providing a more attractive finish.If "Feeding when cutter operating" is set, only the feed mechan-ism operates after sewing and the cutter moves to the speci-fied position, so that the button hole can be cut right up to the front backtacking. (This setting is also possible with no feeding set.)

Newly-developed thread take-up, rotary hook and thread path mechanisms have been adopted as part of the change to an elec-tronic mechanism. This provides ideal balance, so that attractive buttonholes can be sewn in a variety of different materials under a variety of conditions.

A new needle zigzag mechanism (patent pending) reduces the effect of vibration from upper shaft rotation on the needle bar, so that stable and accurate needle zigzagging is obtained even at high speeds. Thus the needle zigzag width can be kept even to create attractive button holes.

When sewing speed has been changed, a knife is not used to trim the thread. The cutter space does not change, further making sure that the finish is attractive.Changing the cutter spacing and changing the zigzag width can now be carried out using the operation panel.

This prevents dimples at the rear tack section when not using an underlay.

The zigzag pitch setting range has been made even finer. You can now select intermediate pitches which were previously impossible.

Largo libre de hilo inferior cortoLongueur de fil inférieur en excès réduiteKurzes UnterfadenendeShort lower thread trailing length

The lower thread trimming mechanism operates in conjunction with the presser foot lifter mechanism, and is driven by a pulse motor. As a result, the thread trimmer driving speed can also be changed at the operation panel, so that the thread can be accurately trimmed regardless of the type of thread being used.This produces a more attractive underside and increases seam quality.

Terminaciones prolijas sin largos libres de hilo superiorFinition nette sans longueur de fil supérieur en excèsSaubere Verarbeitung ohne vorstehende OberfadenendenClean finish with no upper thread trailing length

Attractive finishes are obtained with no upper thread trailing at the sewing end. This ensures a stable and consistent high-quality sewing finish is always obtained.

The upper thread ten-sion is controlled by a solenoid, so that chang-ing between purl stitch-es and whip stitches can be done simply by selecting them on the operation panel.Fine adjustments to the upper thread ten-sion are made using a thread tension nut . The same method that operators have become used to allows the optimum thread tension to be easily obtained.

The needle bar can be moved to the right as a matter of course, and this makes threading much easier.

Adoption of a bobbin presser prevents the bobbin from spinning free when the lower thread is trimmed. This makes lower thread feeding more stable and produces better stitches at the sewing start.The lower thread holding device holds the lower thread at the sew-ing start to ensure that the thread end is sewn into the seam prop-erly.

The PS-3000 is a software package which lets you create new patterns using a personal computer. It can be used to program any patterns other than those patterns which have been pre-programmed. (A P-ROM writer is required.)

This makes buttonhole positioning quicker and more accurate.

RulerFor materials which stretch extremely easily, such as all types of knitted materials, stronger buttonholes can be sewn if tape is attached to the underside of the article being sewn.

You can set parameters simply by selecting an icon, so that sewing data can be created easily. In addition, the programmer can be disconnected from one sewing machine and connected to another one, so that program data can be copied between machines. A single programmer can thus be used to create programs for several machines.
