GENERAL INFORMATION
SCOPE
This service manual describes all of the servicing procedures, including all mechanical and
electronic adjustments, electronic troubleshooting and parts removals and replacements
for the Model 1060 machine.
With the introduction of new concepts in sewing machines by the inclusion of electronic
systems, service personnel must also become aware of new concepts in procedures. Care-
less probing or trial and error methods may easily cause damage to the electronic systems.
There must be a thorough understanding of test equipment before attempting any electronic
testing or adjustments. Sequential testing must be followed as outlined in the Sequential
Checklist and Interlocking Adjustments.
METERS
The Volt-Ohm Milliammeter (VOM) is designed to measure the characteristics of electrical
and electronic circuits in a fashion similar to the way gauges are used to measure charac-
teristics of mechanical mechanisms. The VOM is a required tool for the servicing of the 1060
machine. Proper testing and adjustments CANNOT BE MADE without this meter.
Although there are many good meters available, only those with the required degree of ac-
curacy are acceptable. Most digital meters are acceptable. However, any meter fulfilling the
following specifications can be used.

Machine Serial Number
The serial number of the machine is located on the underneath of the bed casting, at the head
end of the machine.
The serial numbering system uses a single letter prefix to identify the production line. The
first number indicates the year built. The next three numerals indicate the calendar day of
the year, and the last three numerals indicate the number of the machine built on the pro-
duction line that day.
Example: E8051003 E - Line that produced the machine
8 - Built in 1978
051 - 51st day of the year
(i.e. February 20th)
003 - 3rd machine built on line E
on the 51st day.
This numbering system provides a quick means of identifying the age of a machine and
keeping up to date with production changes and improvements. Since it is possible to have
as many identical serial numbers as there are production lines, the prefix letter is most im-
portant. THE PREFIX LETTER IS THE ONLY MEANS OF DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN
TWO SERIAL NUMBERS WITH IDENTICAL NUMBERS.

SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS

FOR 1060 ELECTRONIC SEWING MACHINE

Operator selects pattern group by first moving mode switch. This selects one of two groups
of seven patterns each and places the stitches in position to be called out of memory. Call-
up is performed by pushing the scan button.
By means of wiring between the selection panel and logic/servo P.C. board, the scan signal
flows to the digital control circuitry contained in the L.S.I. (Large Scale Integrated) chip.
This signal is passed through a series of logic gates within the L.S.I. which form what is
called a counter. Each time the scan button is pressed, the counter advances to the next
word in the address memory.
When the button is released, the information in the address memory then finds the actual
location addresses of the pattern data in the main READ-ONLY MEMORY. The R.O.M. i s
then addressed and, much like selecting a record in a juke box, the stored pattern data is
made ready to be fed step-by-step to the linear circuitry (Servo Control and Power Circui-
try) after conversion to an analog-type data output.
When the address memory mentioned above initially is sequenced, it provides an informa-
tion output to the LIGHT EMITTING DIODE verification system on the L.E.D. P.C. board
(located above the selection panel). The appropriate L.E.D. driver is activated thus lighting
the L.E.D. over the pattern selected.
The servo control and power circuitry accepts data in analog (continuous voltage) form.
The signal passes through various conditioning and shaping stages and arrives a t the inputs
to the bight and feed linear motors, which, when proper data is presented, position the needle
and feed properly.
For a precision potentiometer (variable resistance) coupled to the linear motor output, a
feedback, or error signal, is generated. This signal is routed back into the linear circuitry and
appropriate corrections are made so that the actual position of the senrot corresponds to the
required position as programmed and stored in the memory.
When sewing is started by depressing the foot controller, the position of the arm shaft is fed
to the digital circuitry by means of a magnetically operated sensor. At the appropriate time,
when the needle is out of the fabric or when the feed dog is down,bight and feed data respec-
tively are extracted from the system.
I f an alteration is desired in the width or length of a pattern, the operator turns the knobs on
the manual controls, which interact with the analog portion of the circuitry to change width
or length.
Balance control of flexi-patterns is accomplished by shortening or lengthening the forward
stitch length through use of the stitch length control. Reverse feed is programmed in the
memory for each pattern and remains constant. Balance of the buttonhole legs is exactly op-
posite in that the forward feed is programmed and the reverse feed is controlled by the stitch
length control. As part of the electronics package, there are miscellaneous systems such as
the throat plate switch and the needle bar driving arm positioning solenoid both of which
are part of the straight stitch safety system.
When a straight stitch throat plate is inserted, the throat plate switch is depressed, removing
power from the safety solenoid, locking the gate and closing a connection in the servo circuit
id center the needle. Any throat plate with a zigzag opening meant for use in the 1060 has a
recess cut into it to avoid locking the needle bar by not depressing the switch. This means
patterning can be accomplished.
 SEQUENCE OF MACHINE CHECKING

The introduction of electronics into the sewing machine systems dictates new procedures be
used whenever a machine requires service. It can no longer be assumed that what previously
might have been considered a mechanical misadjustment is now a fault of the electronics.
Conversely, what might appear t o be an obvious mechanical problem may now be the result
of an electronic failure or misadjustment.
Any failure of the machine to form correct patterns must be considered to be either an elec-
tronic failure, a mechanical failure, or a combination of both. Systems which are not directly
connected to either the bight or feed systems, such as tension assembly, drive motor, etc., are
not affected by the electronics and, therefore, require only mechanical adjustment or replace-
ment.
All other systems must be checked in the following sequence:
ELECTRONIC - Section 2 of the Manual
Use the sequential order of electronic troubleshooting to verify that all electronic systems
are functioning properly before proceeding with any other adjustments. All bight and feed
POSITIONS are controlled by the electronics. I f the electronics are non-functional or improp-
erl3 adjusted, this will be reflected by an incorrect pattern.
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL INTER FACE - Section 3 of the Manual
I f the electronic outputs are correct, the bight and feed position can still be affected by
mechanical binds in thesystems. Even though the electronic system employs a closed loop
servo system to correctly position the linear bight and feed motors for each stitch require-
ment, the motors cannot. overcome excessive binds in the mechanical systems. Hence, it is
MANDATORY that any .machine which has been serviced or in which parts have been re-
plac'ed be checked for binds in the mechanical systems.
MECHANICAL - Section 4 of the Manual
Only after all electronic and electro-mechanical systems have been checked should any
mechanical adjustments be made. After all adjustments have been completed, it is then re-
quired that the machine be rechecked electronically for binds.
 SECTION 2
ELECTRONIC TEST POINTS
SEQUENCE OF ELECTRONIC
ADJUSTMENTS AND ELECTRONIC
TROUBLESHOOTING SEQUENCE
The following pages provide a description of all the electronic test points available for service,
the sequence of electronic adjustments and a sequential order of troubleshooting in case of
electronic failure.

The electronic test point chart provides a description of the test points in numerical sequence
only and the readings to be expected if all electronic systems are functioning, under optimum
conditions. Do not attempt to use the test point chart as a substitute for troubleshooting an
electronic failure. It is provided only as a reference and to familiarize the technician with test
point reading conditions and procedures. The troubleshooting procedure may not always fol-
low the numerical sequence of test points.

CAUTION:

Although there are many other test point locations on the printed circuit board, only those
listed in the following charts are to be used for service. Do not attempt, under any conditions,
to take voltage readings from any other test points. These test points are used only with highly
specialized test equipment in tightly controlled laboratory environments. Any attempt to
probe these points with field meters may cause damage to the associated circuitry. I t is impor-
tant to note that when attaching probes t o the service test points, the power must be off and
the connection verified. I f an accidental touching of a test point not designated for service
occurs with the power on, severe and costly damage may result.

Printed circuit board layouts have been provided to assist in locating the test points and har-
ness plugs.

NOTE;
Although test point pin locations may change from one generation printed circuit board to the
next, the pin description will always remain the same. For example, TP-3 will always be used
for the +7.50 VDC regulated voltage output.

Never attempt to take voltage readings with anything other than approved meters, as outlined
in Section 1, General Information.

When troubleshooting an electronic failure, it is essential that the sequential order of trouble-
shooting be followed. Failure to do so may result in the replacement of an incorrect electronic
assembly and produce further costly failures.

 1060E ELECTRONIC TROUBLESHOOTING SEQUENCE
The following sequence provides tests and verifications for a complete check of the
electronics in the 1060E Machine. Careful study of the sequence will show that it is often
possible, by reason of elimination, to bypass certain of the tests and proceed to tests further
on in the sequence. Whenever this possibility occurs, it will be so indicated. It is seldom
necessary to complete the entire sequence. However, if during the testing sequence an
electronic assembly is found which has failed, it cannot be assumed that all other assemblies
which are checked later in the sequence are good. Keep in mind that by following the sequen-
tial order of troubleshooting, time-consuming, hit-and-miss replacements of electronic as-
semblies and self-defeating effort will be eliminated.
Use of meters other than those specified may result in incorrect readings. Proper testing and
adjustments can only be accomplished by use of the correct meter.
Furthermore,do not attempt to make electronic tests unless there is a full working knowledge
of the meter being used. Meters set incorrectly for the test being made can do damage to the
meter and/or the electronic circuitry. An understanding of basic electronics and terminology,
although not mandatory, is helpful when proceeding through the troubleshooting sequence.

SEQUENTIAL ORDER TO
ELIMINATE BINDS IN THE
1060 E SYSTEMS

On the following pages is a sequential procedure to detect mechanical binds in the 1060E bight
and feed systems by means of electronic testing.
As part of the servo circuitry, a feedback or error voltage is generated to correct the actual
position of the linear motors to correspond with the required position as programmed in the
L.S.I. It i s possible to use this correction voltage reading to determine if excessive binding is
present, which the linear motor must overcome. If excessive binding exists, the system will
not reach a satisfactory rest point, which may eventually lead to failures. Because of this
situation, certain maximum limits have been established for the residual correction voltages
with the system a t rest.

It is MANDATORY that any 1060E which has been serviced or in which parts have been re-
placed be checked ELECTRONICALLY for mechanical binds by measuring the correction
voltages for both bight and feed systems.
BIGHT MECHANISM

Machine Setting. 1. Pattern Selection: Honeycomb.

2. Stitch Width Control; Maximum,
Check! 1. Read bight error voltage at TP-18 on the logiclservo board.
2, Rotate hand wheel by hand through six complete revolutions,
3. Observe voltage readings a t the different positions of the linear
bight motor.
4. At no time must the voltage exceed k2.2 VDC MAXIMUM.
Note; If during the adjustment sequence the voltage reading falls below the
maximum allowable, the bight mechanism is to be considered free of
binds.
Adjustment: 1. Check for interference of safety stud A with solenoid lever C by
loosening safety study screw B and repositioning safety stud. I f
reading is lowered or falls below maximum limit, relocate stud A
as required and recheck voltage reading.
2. Loosen hinge pin collar set screw G and reset collar F. Recheck
voltage reading.
3. Check for binding of needle bar bearing. Loosen screw D and turn
adjusting nut E 114 turn out of casting. I f reading is lowered or
falls below maximum limit, readjust nut E and recheck voltage
reading.
4. Remove ball joint spring H and recheck voltage reading. Reading
over k1.0 VDC MAXIMUM indicates bight linear motor failure.
Replace bight linear motor. I f reading is + 1.0 VDC or less, replace
needle bar vibrating bracket.

Machine Setting: 1. Pattern Selection: Honeycomb.
2. Stitch Length Control: Maximum.
3. Presser Foot: Up.
Check: 1. Read feed error voltage a t TP-28 on the logiclservo board.
2. Rotate hand wheel by hand through six complete revolutions.
3. Observe voltage readings at the different positions of the linear
feed motor.
4. At no time must the voltage exceed k2.2 VDC MAXIMUM.
Note. If during the adjustment sequence the voltage reading falls below the
maximum allowable, the feed mechanism is to be considered free of
binds.
Adjustment: 1. Remove needle plate to eliminate possible interference of feed
dogs with needle plate slots. Recheck voltage reading. Adjust
feed dog locations, centralization, throw and height, i f voltage
reading drops.
2. Place machine in zero feed by depressing reverse button and while
holding button in, select any pattern except buttonhole, releasing
the reverse button and then the pattern selector button. Run ma-
chine momentarily to verify machine is in zero feed.
3. Loosen feed regulator shaft crank set Screw B and run machine to
allow crank to locate itself laterally on the feed shaft.
4. Tighten set screw B taking care not to upset lateral position of
crank. Select Honeycomb pattern and recheck voltage.
5. Loosen set screw C and carefully slide stud A off crank. Recheck
voltage reading. Reading over k1.0 VDC MAXIMUM indicates feed
*
linear motor failure. Replace feed linear motor. I f reading is 1.0
VDC or less, the entire Alpha feed system must be checked for
proper alignment and freeness.
6. Replace stud A and readjust zero feed.
7. Check:
7.1 Feed regulator and slide block.
7.2 Feed regulator shaft.
7.3 Feed regulator shaft collars.
7.4 Feed stabilizer.
7.5 Feed drive shaft.
7.6 Feed bar connecting link.
