Computer-controlled, Direct-drive, High-speed, 1-needle, Lockstitch, Zigzag Stitching Machine with Automatic Thread Trimmer (quick reverse type)
The machine is built around the newly developed LZ-2290A-7 machine head. In addition to the conventional types of stitching, the machine is able to perform T-shape stitching and zigzag pattern stitching to broaden its range of applications.
Features
In addition to the conventional eight types and 14 patterns of zigzag stitching, the machine is able to perform T-shape stitching and covering stitching. As a result, the machine is equipped as standard with a 14-type and 20-pattern sewing capability. Furthermore, the machine is able to perform condensation stitching (for reverse feed stitching) at a high speed during sewing to dramatically increase the operating rate of the facility.
For men's garments, the machine is used in processes such as topstitching for welt pockets, sewing collar cloths and sewing labels. For ladies' garments, it can perform pattern stitching for the collars and front bodies of jackets and blouses. In addition, original patterns can be created using the custom pattern feature, enabling the machine to be utilized for a broader range of uses.
Sewing patterns can be programmed with ease with the IP-100D operation panel.
A liquid crystal display has been adopted for the display unit. It displays settings for the stitch shape, zigzag width and stitch base line position together on one screen with pictographs, facilitating operation. At the time of creating/modifying a custom pattern, data can be entered with the shape of the pattern visible on the display, leading to increased efficiency.
Custom pattern data can be stored using the same SmartMedia that is widely used for digital cameras.
With the IP-100D, program stitching and cycle sewing can be set. By using this function, it is possible to sew labels with constant-dimension sewing or to topstitch welt pockets while automatically changing over the stitching type from straight stitching to zigzag stitching according to the number of stitches desired. This contributes to improved working efficiency. In addition, multi-layer sewing, continuous sewing, one-shot sewing and the beginning point of a scallop pattern can be programmed easily through the operation panel.
Normal/reverse feed amounts are established on the panel. This enables the machine to perform sewing with consistency, preventing unevenness in the feed amount. Since the sewing conditions are established on the panel, they can be easily restored to a previous setting.
Reverse feed stitch length can be increased and decreased directly on Reverse Feed Stitching Setting Screen of the peration panel, when the reverse feed lever is press down. At the corners of labels, the stitch number per inch can be adjusted to sew the corners with consistency.
Newly developed feed mechanism is employed.
The feed mechanism is controlled with a stepping motor to enable continuous sewing at a high speed. The machine achieves the world's highest sewing speed of 4,000rpm even when performing pattern sewing, including T-shape stitching and condensation stitching, dramatically increasing productivity. In addition, the machine retains stitching shapes with consistency (the maximum sewing speed differs depending on the sewing condition).
The machine helps to achieve a comfortable working environment
The magnet operating noise is virtually silent, even at the time of changing over the sewing direction between normal and reverse feed directions. This contributes to the achievement of a comfortable working environment with little noise.
Shape-tacking patterns can be changed with ease.
The zigzag width and feed amount are stored on a stitch-shape basis. It is therefore not necessary, after changing the stitch shape, to re-adjust it. For a custom pattern, data can be programmed on a stitch-by-stitch basis.
Basic functions of the predecessor model have been incorporated into this machine
- The arm of the machine head is longer than a normal arm by one size, offering a longer distance from machine arm to needle to facilitate handling of the sewing material on the machine, leading to improved workability.
- The machine comes with a direct-drive type motor. As a result, the machine quickly starts and promises an upgraded stopping accuracy and excellent responsiveness.
- Thread trimming mechanism notable for its simple structure and extremely reliable performance. The knife-sliding method employed by the thread trimmer guarantees that the thread is cut regardless of the needle throw position.
- The machine is provided as standard with a micro-lifter screw. This helps prevent material slippage or damages when using elastic materials.
- Since the hook and needle bar is lubricated with a minute-quantity of lubricating oil, sewing products are rarely stained with oil.
