Appendix 3Automatic Position Limitation Function
Instructions
for Apparel Embroidery
A Working Principle
The automatic
position limitation function of single-head
embroidery
machine
controller
is to determine the
embroidery
range of the frame by
setting the
distance from the center of the
frame to
the origin
(that is X-/Y position
limitation
optical coupler) and the actual frame size
(unit: mm). If embroidery is to be done beyond
such range, the controller will
activate
automatic protection to prevent damage to
the mechanical parts
of the embroidery machine.
B Setting Method
1
Set Frame
Origin
Press
key, then press
key, to enter the following
interface.
Select " Automatic Origin Search", to enter the interface
to search origin automatically;
the frame will search and determine the
origin automatically; press "
" key to
quit.

In
the main interface, check the coordinates of XY, which is the position of frame
center.
Press "

frame selection and position setting; then
press "
" key, to enter
the interface for setting related parameters, where user
can input
the coordinates of XY in the main interface.
89
Appendix
3 Automatic Position Limitation Function Instr
uctions for
Apparel
Embroidery
There are four
parameters: "X direction center" means the distance at X
direction
between
the frame center and X- direction position limitation optical
coupler; "Y
direction
center"
means the distance at Y direction between
the frame center and Y+ direction
position limitation
optical coupler. "X
direction
frame size" means the embroidery range
of the frame at X
direction; "Y direction frame size" means the embroidery range of the frame
at Y direction.
Y Frame Actual Size W
X FrameActual Size L
"X direction frame size" and "Y direction frame
size" should
be set according to the actual
size of different frames. Note:
this parameter need be set according to the
actual embroidery
range of the frame, for the apparel frame is
usually not square.
