1. GENERAL MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS

The V2 unit can be programmed along two axes, with a MITSUBISHI PLK E 2516 sewing head, which according to the
equipment installed consents, within the sewing head range:
Application of patch pockets already pre creased by the VIBEMAC Creaser unit
Ornamental stitching on rear trouser pockets with automatic material loading and manual unloading.
Dart-shaped seams.
Flap stitching.
Application of labels of any format or thickness.
Velcro application.
Sewing of chin straps on helmets.
The high level of flexibility of the unit makes it possible to buy the sewing head and, with a quick change, to change easily the jig
kit on the unit with another optional jig kit for a different operation or pocket size.
Seven different operating modes can be selected for the unit. The unit allows for a quick change of forms (in about three
minutes), 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.
1.1. SUPPLY VOLTAGE

The supply voltage is 220 V single-phase 50/60 Hz
1.2. COMPRESSED AIR CONSUMPTION AND PRESSURE

Consumption is about 1.5 litres of air intake per cycle with pressure of 5.5 bars.
1.3. DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT

Width: 161cm (VERSION WITH LOADER AND UNLOADER)
Length: 140cm (VERSION WITH LOADER AND UNLOADER)
Height: 135cm
Weight: 300kg (approx.)

• The operator must abide by all the instructions in this manual and “CE" regulations
• The maximum width of the pocket seaming must be 230mm
• The maximum height of the pocket seaming must be 208mm.
• The material thickness of the trousers where the pocket is to be applied must not be greater than 5mm
• All safety regulations must be respected; safety covers installed by the manufacturer must not be
removed.
• The electrical supply must be constant.
• The machine must be earthed to prevent disturbances and electric shocks.
• The machine must not operate at high temperatures (above 40°c) or low temperatures (below 10°c).
• Water or other liquids (with the exception of oil) must not get into the sewing machine.
• Water or other liquids must not get into the control panel, solenoid valves and cylinders.
• The automatic unit must be installed on a flat surface checking that the feet rest all together on the ground, and are
blocked with the special nut.
• The automatic unit must not be used in areas where there is explosive gas, powder or oil vapours.
• The machine must not be connected to a compressed air circuit containing water or other liquids in the
pressure circuit.
• The machine must be connected to a compressed air circuit with a constant minimum internal pressure
of 5.5 bar.
• the operator must use soundproof earplugs to prevent damage to the ear.
• installation of the machine and extraordinary maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by the machine in cases where:
• the unit is not properly installed on an even surface.
• installation of the machine is not performed by qualified personnel.
• ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the machine have not been performed by qualified

14. SYSTEM SOFTWARE PARAMETERS

The automatic unit can perform the following 7 different types of operation.
While the automatic unit is running, the following parameters can be varied, for every operation called up by paragraph
6.OPERATION SYSTEMS.
14.1.MODIFY THE TIMER VALUE DURING THE AUTOMATIC CYCLE (NUMBER 1)

To synchronise the various movements correctly the following timers are used during all movements of the equipment:
STEP 29: Delay in sewing cycle alarm stops from FUN1 reading to Safety proximity sensor (IO) reading
STEP 48: Time that remains lift the Inner clamp from FUN1 reading (10)
STEP 63: Delay in loading jig opening from the Left limit switch reading (IA)
STEP 64: Delay in loader cylinder return from the Pneumatic switch reading (I6)
STEP 65: Delay in LOWERED Outer clamp from Right limit switch reading (I7)
STEP 68: Delay in sewing cycle start signal ON from Right limit switch reading (I7) (150)
STEP 69: Delay in sewing cycle start signal OFF from Right limit switch reading (I7) – Step 69 value must be always bigger than
step 68 value. 200
In this example, the timer value to Delay in sewing cycle alarm stops from FUN1 reading to Safety proximity sensor (IO)
reading” at STEP xx is changed.
Lower the jigs on the equipment.
Press the STEP icon.

22. PROGRAMMING
22.1.GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The MITSUBISHI PLK E 1010 machine is equipped with an extremely versatile and easy-to-use software.
To create a new sewing programme on a pocket, follow the instructions given below, which will take you, step by step, all the
way to saving the programme onto a Floppy Disk or into the Internal Memory.
22.1.1.MEMORY
The machine comes with a diskette that can contain 150 programmes and an internal memory that can contain more than 250
programmes. For each programme, a maximum of 8000 stitches can be memorised.
The number of the programme memorised depends on the type data selected. We request that you give the priority at B data.
The reference number starts from n°600 to°749 reference number for B data type programmes
The reference number starts from n°400 to°549 reference number for BA data type programmes
22.1.2.STITCH LENGTH
Stitch lengths of between 0.1mm and 12.7mm can be programmed, in variations of 0.1mm. The machine turns at its maximum
speed if the stitch length is in between 0.1 and 3.2mm and with a lengthen stitch automatically the speed is reduce.
22.1.3.SEWING SPEED
Four different types of speed may be selected (H – MD1 – MD2 – L) during the sewing programme.
The machine is calibrated for a maximum speed of 2500 rpm. The thread cutting speed is calibrated at 180 rpm.
22.1.4.CODES
A series of codes manage some operation of the unit by solenoid valves mounted. The codes may be inserted into the sewing
programme. Type of codes used in the programmes:
FUN 1: Reverse position INNER Clamp
