GENERAL ‘The AMS-220C is an electronic, I-needle, cylinder-bed, lockstitich pattern sewing machine. It is an industrial automatic sewing machine designed mainly for sewing on various small parts and for joining fabrics. ‘The sewing machine head is eqipped with an exclusive long arm, which permits a wider sewing area. Thanks to the incorporation of a 16-bit microprocessor as the control device and the use of a micro floppy disk as the memory ‘medium, the AMS-220C can successfully perform complicated pattem stitching and embroidering. A large semi-rotary shuttle has been adopted, which reduces the frequency of replacing the bobbin thread. ‘You can easily input patterns into the micro-floppy disk, using the JUKI compact programming device (PGM-1, PGM-5, PGM-10B), available optionally. Before you input new sewing pattern data into the micro-floppy disk, you can do trial sewing to check the result and make any necessary modifications. i tion ‘The following shows the main components of the AMS-220C: © Power ON/OFF switch © Feeding frame switch ‘Machine head ‘Start switch ‘Sewing machine motor Intermediate presser lifting cylinder © Control box Emergency stop switch © Operation box ‘Thread stand2. Features » 2 3 4) 10) 1) 12) 13) Easy pattern change ‘The work holder is driven by a stepping motor. You can change a stitching pattern simply by specifying the pattern No. affected. ‘Wider sewing size ‘An exclusive long arm provided a sewing area as large as 200 mm x 145 mm (width x length). Large semi-rotary shuttle has been adopted. A large semi-rotary shuttle reduces the frequency of replacing the bobbin thread. Complicated pattern stitching and embroidering ‘The 16-bit microprocessor for memory storage enables the machine to input a pattem or to embroider with a ‘maximum of 4,000 stitches. Furthermore, if using the combination mode, a pattern with a maximum of 16,000 stitches can be sewn. ‘Wide range of pattern scale ‘The X scale and Y scale can be independently set 0.01 to 4 times the original pattem. ‘This function is further supported by JUKI’s unique method in which pattern enlargement/reduction is done by increasing or decreasing the stitich length or the number of stitches. The combination of these functions permits highly flexible pattern enlargement and reduction. Capable of inputting various patterns Pattern data can be easily entered using either the control box, which is mounted on the main unit of the sewing machine as a standard device, or a JUKI compact type programming device, which is available as an ‘option. When pattern data are entered under the main unit input feature, input is made in accordance with the sewing product by moving the feed using the switch in the control box, taking the needle as a reference. Programming devices which are separately available PGM-1 .... Used with connected to the sewing machine. A small pattem can be input with enlarged using the digitizer input function. PGMS .... Used with connected to the sewing machine. This high-performance device enables the ‘operator to input data only following the procedure same as the main unit input function. PGM-10B ... Used independently. It is a personal computer type high-performance programming device, allowing the operator to input data while checking the created pattern on the display. A micro-floppy disk as the memory medium for sewing patterns A35-inch micro floppy disk is used. ‘The disk accommodates 44 to 691 patterns. Provided with safety and testing facilities ‘The AMS-220C is designed to give error indication upon detection of troubles, enabling you to identify the problem at a glance. In addition, the machine incorporates a facility for testing the switches and other functions. This facility is useful for quick troubleshooting. Easy workpiece setting “The second origin can be set as desired, so you do not have to care about the position of the needle point when setting a workpiece. A longer stitch length ‘The stitch Jength can be set up to 10 mm. Patterns used for the conventional AMS machines can also be used for the AMS-220. + The AMS-220C is capable of using (reading/writing) pattern data stored in floppy disks used with the AMS-210B, 212B and 2208 with no additional operation, + Itis only capable of reading pattern data used with the AMS-210A, -212A and 220A. However, it is not capable writing pattern data on the floppy disk used with the AMS-210A, -212A and -220A. A compressor unit can be attached to the machine after the set-up. ‘A compressor unit is optionally available. It can be attached to your AMS-220C with no additional machining. ‘A milling unit can be attached to the machine after the set-up. A milling unit is optionally available. It can be attached to your AMS-220C, which allows you to machine a plastic feeding frame or aluminum feeding frame as desired with ease,3.

Another press on the switch causes the feeding frame to ascend. ‘The machine is started by turning the start switch ON with the feeding frame down. Used to stop machine operation during a stitching cycle. Aer an emergency stop, the feeding frame can be moved along the stitching line by operating the "Backward" or "Forward" switch. The interrupted stitching cycle can be completed by pressing the start switch. Altematively, the "Return to origin" switch may be pressed for quick move to the sewing start point or the 2nd origin after an emerfency stop and the thread trimming. Allows a pattem to be enlarged or reduced on the X axis and ¥ axis, independently when sewing a pattern. Scale: 0.01 to 4 times (adjustable in 0.01 steps) Pattern enlargement/reduction can be done by increasing/decreasing either stitch length or the number of stitches. ‘The maximum sewing speed can be set limited to any value within a range of 180 to 2,000 s.p.m., using the extemal control knob. 1 to 999 patterns can be selected by specifying the desired pattern Nos. A pattern configuration can be checked by setting the "Sewing machine ON/OFF switch" to "OFF". 117 types of error indication are given. Involves point/linear/arc numeral data, temporary stop, thread trim, jump data, sewing speed, and stitch length. ‘Tells the time to replace the bobbin, If this facility is not used, it works as 4.0 ~ 999 ring counter with resetting function. In case of a power interruption, the pattern being used will automatically be stored in memory so that the interrupted sewing cycle may be resumed. simply by pressing the Set Ready switch after the power is restored. No floppy disk is necessary. ‘The memory is held for 100 hrs. Using jog keys, a 2nd origin (needle position after a sewing cycle) can be set in the desired position within the sewing area. The set 2nd origin is also stored in memory. ‘When the needle does not stop in its upper position, the needle can be brought up to the upper position by tuming the needle threading switch ON or OFF.

On the other hand, preparation for reading of a pattem is carried out under the (setting mode]. This means that the machine functions in the two different ways in accordance with the mode to which the machine is set. Consequently, switches of the machine are divided into the two groups, one is the group of the switches used under the [Sewing mode] and the other is the group of the switches used under the [Setting mode].

(Cautions) ‘The switches on the front face of the control box are seesaw switches. So, the following precautions should be taken when operating these switches. Operating the switches used under the [Setting mode] including scale setting switch for [INC/DEC of the stitch length & INC/DEC of the number of stitches] in the sewing mode by mistake will not adversely affect on the sewing as long as the machine operates under the [Sewing mode]. However, the operated switch will function when reading a pattern after changing over the mode of the ‘machine from the [Sewing mode] to the [Setting mode]. + Changeover of the DIP switches is ineffective while the power switch is turned ON regardless of the mode of the sewing machine, i.e., in the [Sewing mode] and in the [Setting mode].
