1. GENERAL MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS
The Automatic Unit V2 is a programmable sewing machine, for applying pre-pressed patch pockets onto jeans or casual trousers, using the
Mitsubishi PLK B 2516 sewing head.
The highly flexible unit loads the quarter pieces of the trousers and the pre-pressed pockets into a unit placed next to the sewing machine.
The positioning of the quarter piece is guided by visual reference points and/or reference notches, and the process is made easier by the simple
construction and wide range of visibility of the work surface.
After loading the pre-pressed pocket into the jig, the Loader carries the material to the working position under the sewing machine, which begins its
cycle automatically when the Loader returns to its initial position.
The Loader returns to its initial position, in order to load more material and another pre-pressed pocket, while the sewing cycle is being carried out.
At the end of the sewing cycle, a stacker removes the quarter piece from the machine to make way for another loading cycle.
Three different working patterns for the unit can be selected:
• Applying a patch pocket with automatic loading of the quarter piece and the pre-pressed pocket, automatic sewing cycle start and automatic
unloading of the finished piece at the end of the cycle.
• Applying a patch pocket with automatic loading only of the quarter piece; the pre-pressed pocket is loaded and the sewing cycle start is
controlled manually, with automatic unloading of the finished piece at the end of the cycle.
• Making designs or symbols on the pocket with automatic loading and automatic sewing cycle start. Manual unloading of the sewn pocket.
The unit allows for a quick change of forms (about four minutes). These forms are supplied together with a floppy disk, containing the personalised
programmes requested by the client.
Changing the form does not require the intervention of a technician, but its simple design, together with the use of special materials, mean that it can
be carried out by the operator.
The unit can apply 1800 - 2000 pockets in eight effective working hours.
The unit works in conjunction with a pocket-pressing machine, run by the same operator.
