14. SETTING THE WORK CLAMP MODE

14-1. Setting solenoid work clamp mode

Through the combination of DIP switches A-1 and A-2 on the operation panel, presser motions can be set as follows:

DIPA-1

DIPA-2

Pedal specifications

Raising the presser at the sewing end

−

−

Single pedal

Presser is raised automatically. (factory default settings)

ON

−

Single pedal

Presser is raised by pressing the pedal.

−

ON

Two pedals

Presser is raised automatically, then it is lowered by pressing

the pedal.

ON

ON

Two pedals

Presser is kept lifted while the presser pedal is pressed.

14-2. Setting pneumatic work clamp mode

Through the combination of DIP switches A-1 and A-2 on the operation panel, presser motions can be set as follows:

When memo-42 = 0 (initial value for all specifications other than inner clamping specifications)

DIPA-1

DIPA-2



−

ON

Single pedal

Presser is raised automatically.

ON

ON

Single pedal

Presser is raised by pressing the pedal.

−

−

Two pedals

Presser is raised automatically, then it is lowered by pressing

the pedal. (factory default settings)

ON

−

Two pedals

Presser is kept lifted while the presser pedal is pressed.

Special memo-42 settings for pneumatic specifications

memo-42



5

Two pedals

Left presser drops when presser pedal is at the 1st step, and right presser drops

when presser pedal is at the 2nd step.

Raising is carried out in the reverse order.

*

Initial value for inner clamping specifications only

*

Setting used when using the light work clamp function (Refer to “14-3. Light work

clamp”.)

6

Two pedals

Right presser drops when presser pedal is at the 1st step, and left presser drops

when presser pedal is at the 2nd step.

Raising is carried out in the reverse order.

7

Two pedals

The left/right operating sequence changes alternately for each item sewn when

using two-pedal operation.

Starts with right

→

left.

8

Three pedals

(Option)

The left pedal is used to raise and lower the left presser, and the right (center) pedal

is used to raise and lower the right presser.

The start (right) pedal is used to start sewing.

Furthermore, when DIP switch A-2 is at ON, and if one presser is already lowered,

pressing the start pedal causes the other presser to be lowered and then sewing

starts.

9

Two pedals

When the presser pedal is depressed to the 1st step, both left and right pressers are

raised simultaneously.

When it is pressed to the 2nd step, sewing starts.

10

Two pedals

When the start pedal is depressed, both left and right pressers are lowered

simultaneously.

When the start pedal is released, sewing starts.
