Your benefits at a glance
Secured sewing start

For a secured sewing start, a low thread tension and stitch condensing can be switched on.
Material thickness detection
Programmable, automatic material thickness detection with two values within one shoulder pad
The automatic material thickness detection scans the material thickness via a sensor and is switched on automatically. It can be programmed for symmetrical and asymmetrical shoulder pads with 2 different values within one seam. Depending on the programmed value, it automatically switches on the machine's additional functions - stitch loosening function, second stitch length, second foot stroke height and second thread tension. This guarantees a consistent volume and soft feel of the shoulder pad.
Stitch loosening finger long and short version to adapt the thread quantity to the thickness of the shoulder pad

The switchable stitch loosening device prevents squeezing when the shoulder pad is sewn through. Thus, the pad retains its volume and soft touch.
Switchable functions
Switchable 2nd thread tension, 2nd foot stroke and 2nd stitch length for the adaptation of the machine to the different material thickness
2. stroke height of the alternating foot top feed for easier sewing over the shoulder pad
2. stitch length for sewing over the shoulder pad
2. thread tension for a loose thread tension in the shoulder pad
Fullness value
Switchable fullness in the upper or lower material ply by push-button
Switchable fullness either in the upper or lower fabric layer at the touch of a button.
The fullness value is mechanically adjustable and – depending on the application – it can be switched on in the upper or lower fabric by push button.
Pneumatic edge trimmer
Edge trimmer for perfectly trimmed excess lengths of lining and shoulder pads
