7. "LS01" LOGIC PANEL
The digital panel controls all the various functions (CUT, SKIP STITCH, PULLER, END OF CYCLE STOP) of the
equipment attached to the sewing machine.
During the sewing cycle, the machine is started and stopped and its speed is controlled by the EFKA panel and its
control pedal.
The LS01 digital panel is connected to the EFKA type 6B81 panel by the rear, trough connector.
The LS01 digital panel can run four different programmes, in a personalised sequence, and it is possible to set the use of
the four INPUTS and of the five OUTPUTS as required.
Normally, two basic programmes are loaded into the panel, with two different machine functions.
These are:
- Basic Programme n°. “1.Automatic machine stop with final cut”
- Basic Programme n°. “2.Intermediate automatic machine stop when photoelectric cell 2 is uncovered”
1 – FINAL STOP
When the Panel performs the Final Cut of the waistband, it automatically stops the Sewing Head, even when the
command lever of the EFKA motor is held completely down, to allow insertion of a new pair of trousers.
To reset the position of the control lever in the EFKA motor, bring it back to its pause position.
Press the Control Lever again to run a new sewing cycle.
2 – INTERMEDIATE STOP
As soon as photoelectric cell N° 2 is "uncovered" at the end of the trousers, the Panel automatically stops the Sewing
Head, even when the command lever of the EFKA motor is held completely down, to allow insertion of a new pair of
trousers. Check that between the two pairs of trousers there is a minimum distance of 4 cm.
To reset the position of the control lever in the EFKA motor, bring it back to its pause position.
Press the Control Lever again to run a new Sewing Cycle.
This working system is used when:

- the length of the waistband of the trousers is the same as, or slightly longer than, the length of the body of the trousers.

11. SAFETY MICROSWITCH
The function of this microswitch is to prevent the Cutting function in the event that the safety guard is removed.
It is a lever microswitch, type V9LR, fixed between the puller support and the cutting unit safety guard.
ATTENTION
If the lever of the microswitch is not in sufficient contact with the puller unit support of the machine and/or does not close
the internal electrical contact, the machine will not perform the CUT function.
Therefore, adjust its position or check the connection.
37
12. CYLINDERS
There are four cylinders in the machine, for the following functions:
12.1 CUT
It is a 40/40 cylinder with internal buffer.
It is connected to the upper mobile blade by a fork, and is fixed to the back of a vertical support by a pin blocked with a
grub screw.
By changing the position of the vertical support it is possible to change the final position of the upper blade when the
cylinder is fully extended.
There is a quick discharge in the front of the cylinder to aid the descent of the mobile blade.
12.1.1 QUICK DISCHARGE

The Quick Discharge, type FD 3/8, is located on the front of the cylinder.
It completely discharges the air from the front part of the cylinder, in order to avoid creating an internal shock absorber.
The air leaving the rapid discharge is re-directed into the EFKA motor.
This allows:
· the motor to be kept clean.
· the noise level of machine operation to be reduced.
In the event of malfunction, check:
· that the membrane inside the limit stop is not broken.
· that the membrane has not hardened too much.
12.2 PRESSURE-FOOT LIFTER

It is a double-effect 27/35 cylinder.
It is located behind the machine and is connected to the pressure-foot lever by a fork.
Its support is fixed to the vertical support of the cutting cylinder by two screws.
Select the working position where the two movements of the cylinder can operate freely.
Only the front part of the cylinder is connected to the pneumatic circuit, because the return movement is provided by the
pressure-foot spring.
12.3 PULLER
It is a special 25/25 double-effect cylinder.
It is located behind the cutting unit and is connected to the puller unit support by a pin.
The working pressure of the cylinder is provided by the reduction unit located under the table.
The working pressure is normally 2 bar.
12.4 SKIP STITCH

It is a special simple-effect cylinder with spring return.
It is fixed under the horizontal safety guard at the bottom of the machine, where the cutting unit is also fixed.
The exit speed of the cylinder is provided by the flow regulator in the outlet to the solenoid valve.
38
13. PULLER
The Puller Unit is located behind the machine.
It is run by the LS01 panel, which determines the moment of lowering and lifting of the whole unit.
The function of the Puller is to pull the upper part of the waistband, so that the material is pulled and sewn by the
machine in a perfectly matched way, all of which goes to increase the fit of the waistband of the trousers.
To adjust the draught of the Puller use the ZEROMAX.
13.1 POSITION ADJUSTMENT

The operator MUST switch off the unit following procedure 5. STOPPING THE MACHINE.
Turn the air off by closing the air cock located in front of the pressure reducer.
The working position is determined by the two clamping screws of the Puller unit.
Tighten the back screw and loosen the front screw of the Puller unit to move it towards the Cutting unit.
Loosen the back screw and tighten the front screw of the Puller unit to move it away from the Cutting unit.
Manually close the mobile blade of the Cutting unit.
Check that between the Puller roller and the mobile blade there is a gap of about 3 mm.
This adjustment must be carried out with a new Puller roller.
13.2 RUBBER ROLLER REPLACEMENT

The operator MUST switch off the unit following procedure 5. STOPPING THE MACHINE.
Remove the safety guard loosening the three clamping screws.
Loosen the self-regulating nut with a 10 mm wrench, keeping the roller still by the universal joint with one hand.
Take off the washer and remove the roller by pulling it from its housing.
Insert a new roller, making sure it is of the right type for the material being sewn.
For Denim/Jeans it is BLACK; for all other materials it is either yellow or grey.
Tighten the self-regulating nut with a 10 mm wrench, keeping the roller still by the universal joint with one hand.
Replace the safety guard tightening the three clamping screws.
Turn the machine on and start production.
39
14. ZEROMAX
The machine is equipped with a ZEROMAX, Adjustable Auxiliary Feed, type E2, and is adjusted for the continuous
draught of the material.
It takes its movement from the Pinion fixed to the lower shaft of the machine and transmits the rotary movement to the
rubber roller of the Puller.
There is a lever on the ZEROMAX to vary the ratio of transmission between the sewing machine and the Puller.
Moving the adjustment lever down, the ZEROMAX increases the draught in respect to the movement received by the
machine.
Moving the adjustment lever up, the ZEROMAX decreases the draught in respect to the movement received by the
machine.
ADJUSTMENT
For the best draught/wear ratio of the roller the following adjustment must be made carefully:
Run a sewing cycle of about 20 cm on the trousers.

Check that the material is being pulled by the Auxiliary Puller.
Loosen the red knob and move the adjustment lever, up or down as required, until the material between the Puller of the
machine and the Auxiliary Puller remains slightly taut.
Run another sewing cycle of about 20 cm on the trousers.
Check that when a little of the draught of the Auxiliary Puller is removed, the material between the two Pullers is slightly
undulated.
Slightly increase the draught and block the lever by tightening the red knob.
40
15. BORDER UNIT
The border unit guides the material for forming the waistband and is placed on a special removable support.
The characteristics of the Border unit depend on:
· the type of waistband (SINGLE or DOUBLE)
· the height of the waistband
· the type of material used
The border unit, with its own support, is secured to an adjustable Border Unit housing.
By pulling the Border unit towards the operator, it moves in front of the pressure-foot where it can carry out the necessary
functions freely.
To obtain a consistent quality in the waistband the Border Unit should be centred in respect to the needles and the
pressure-foot, and its Position, Height and Camber should be checked.
15.1 POSITION
Loosen the two clamping screws to check that the Border Unit is positioned as follows:
· It must be aligned with its left-hand part on the left-hand side of the pressure-foot.
· No part of it must touch the pressure-foot .
· Its adjustable claw must not touch the work surface of the machine.
15.2 WORK SURFACE HEIGHT

· It must be parallel to the working surface
15.3 CAMBER OF BORDER UNIT HOUSING

· It must be perpendicular to the working surface
Check that the Border Unit forms a waistband with the upper left edge the same as the lower.
After changing the camber always check the subsequent height and position of the Border Unit.
41
16. TAPE GUIDE
The function of the tape guide is to make the tape formed by the waistbands slightly taut.
Adjust the adjustable support to obtain the correct tension.
When using STRETCH material decrease the number of passages to the minimum, to avoid problems with the size of
the waistband when it is applied to the trousers.
17. WORKING CYCLE

17.1 START OF TROUSERS
Photoelectric cell N°1 reads the insertion of the trousers. The CS1 counter (begin skip stitch) is activated. The machine
begins the sewing cycle, controlled by the operator using the control pedal attached to the EFKA Panel. When the CS1
counter reaches the programmed number, the skip stitch disconnects. The machine then has the initial part of the
trousers under the other two photoelectric cells. When photoelectric cells N°2 and N°3 scan in sequence the stitch
counter CT1 is activated.
3 2 1 3 2 1
START OF TROUSERS
After the set number of stitches, the cutting unit carries out the initial cut of the waistband, with an initial impulse to the
adjustable solenoid valve (CUT time1) and to the adjustable cutting speed (CUT speed1).
17.2 END OF TROUSERS

Photoelectric cell N°1 reads the end of the trousers. The CS2 counter (end skip stitch) is activated. This counter
determines the delay of the stitches of the skip stitch insertion at the end. It is usually positioned between 01 and 02
stitches. The skip stitch at the end remains inserted until stitch counter CS1 is activated again.
The machine then has the final part of the trousers under the other two photoelectric cells. When photoelectric cell N°3
scans, counter CT2 is activated. After the set number of stitches,
the cutting unit carries out the final cut of the waistband, with an initial impulse to the adjustable solenoid valve (CUT
time2) and to the adjustable cutting speed (CUT speed2).
The "LS01" panel is normally set as follows:
INITIAL CUT: 08 FINAL: 12
MOTOR SLOW DOWN: 02
INITIAL SKIP STITCH: 09-10
FINAL: 01

19.2.1 SKIP STITCH PLATE ADJUSTMENT
The position of the plate itself can be adjusted by loosening the pair of screws on the plate slide.
Make sure the loop-enlarger unit is positioned correctly and then check the following:
· that the sheet rests completely on the loop-enlarger support, with the slide free to carry out the two movements.
· that the sheet is able to cover the loop-enlarger hook with its own comb, to prevent the formation of the chain stitch.
· that the distance between the plate, with its own comb, and the upper part of the lower rotating hook is at least 0.5 mm.
· that the distance between the needle, at Bottom Dead Centre, and the front part of the comb is 2 mm.

For the correct mechanical adjustment of the sewing head, check the timing between the lower and upper shafts and the
timing of the start of the rotating hooks.
19.3.6.1 TIMING OF LOWER AND UPPER SHAFTS

Turn the handwheel and bring the Needle Bar to Top Dead Centre.
In this position, check that the arrow in the pinion, attached to the Lower Shaft, is perfectly vertical with its tip pointing up.
If adjustment is needed, remove the Toothed Belt from the Lower Pinion and reposition it at the exact point.
If the belt is too slack replace it with a new one.

19.3.6.2 ROTATING HOOK TIMING
When the Rotating Hook moves Forward and the Needle goes up the Stitch Timing is lower than the centre line of the
groove in the needle.
When the Rotating Hook moves Back and the Needle comes down the Stitch Timing is higher than the centre line of the
groove in the needle.
Use the Starting cam to adjust the Timing as illustrated in the figure below:

19.3.7 STITCH LENGTH

To vary the stitch length replace the pair of gears fixed to the Back Shaft.
Always check the coupling between the Gears and lubricate with very dense oil (SAE200) every 5 minutes for the first
half hour of operation, to prevent the worm screw wearing the gear.
Adjust the movement of the Needle Bar Traverse according to the Stitch Length mounted.
19.3.8 ADJUSTMENT OF LOWER ROLLER PIN PROFILES

A steel Lower Roller is mounted on the Puller of the machine.
There are two types of roller, one for pulling heavy material (denim), and one for pulling light material.
Always check that the 3 pin profiles are positioned with their upper part aligned with the teeth of the roller.
This is to prevent the roller pulling the waistband of the trousers inwards.
