DETAILS OF TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF FEED CONTROL
AND ZIGZAG BIGHT CONTROL UNITS
There are 48-step exciting positions (segments) with 7.5 degree rotation per
1 step on the pulse motor. Therefore, 7.5 degree rotation per 1 pulse coincides with exciting positions and
center of non-exciting positions alternatively.
Stitch length is set at 0.25 mm for rotation of motor gear (B) of 3.75 degrees per 1 pulse.
- 33 -
C. Position of feed regulator at zero feed
Position of feed zero is shifted with 20 pulses from the origin point and motor gear (A) is rotated at 75
(20 multiplied by 3.75) degrees. Motor gear (B) is rotated at 30 (20 multiplied by 3.75 divided by 2.5)
degrees.
Maximum possible backward feed amount is generated at the position shifted with 33 pulses from
the origin position and motor gear (A) is rotated with 13 pulses at 48.75 (13 multiplied by 3.75) degrees.
Gear (B) is rotated at 19.5 (48.75 divided by 2.5) degrees.
- 34 -
FEED CONTROL UNIT - Full step version
There are 48-step exciting positions (segments) with 7.5 degree rotation per 1 step on the pulse motor.
Therefore, 7.5 degree rotation per 1 pulse coincides with all exciting positions.
Stitch length is set at 0.25 mm for rotation of motor gear (A) of 7.5 degrees per 1 pulse.
- 35 -
C. Position of feed regulator at zero feed
Position of feed zero is shifted with 20 pulses from the origin point and motor gear (A) is rotated at 150
(20 multiplied by 7.5) degrees. Motor gear is rotated at 30 (20 multiplied by 7.5 divided by 5) degrees.
Maximum possible backward feed amount is generated at the position shifted with 33 pulses from the origin
position and motor gear (A) is rotated at 97.5 (13 multiplied by 7.5) degrees and Gear (B) is rotated at 19.5
(97.5 divided by 5) degrees.
- 36 -
ZIGZAG BIGHT CONTROL UNIT
Rotational ratio of Motor pinion gear (A) vs zigzag cam gear (B) is 1:1. Rotation of motor gear (A) 1/2 step per
1 pulse and 3.75 degrees (7.5 divided by 2) resulting in the gear (B) rotated at 3.75 degrees.
There are 48-step exciting positions (segments) with 7.5 degree rotation per 1 pulse on the pulse motor.
Therefore, 3.5 degree rotation per 1 pulse coincides with exciting position and center of non-exciting positions
alternatively.
Zigzag bight is 0.25 mm for rotation of motor gear (A) of 3.75 degrees per 1 pulse.
- 37 -
B. Needle at right position
Needle at right position is the position with 2 pulses shifted from the origin point resulting in the gear (B) and
gear (A) rotated at 7.5 (3/75 multiplied by 2) degrees. Needle position is located at 3.5 mm from center.
- 38 -
