Production support function
The operation panels CP-18A and CP-180A are provided with a production support function.
CP-18A
The production support function actually consists of three different
functions (six different modes), which are the output control
function, operation measuring function and bobbin counter
function. Each with its own production support effect.
An appropriate function (mode) can be selected as required.
The parameter setting can be done on the panel located on the
top of the sewing machine, thereby helping reduce operator
fatigue during setup changing.
Output control function
Operation
measuring function
Three different functions
(Six different modes )
Output control function
• Target No. of products display mode
Under the target No. of products display mode, the target number
of products and the actual number of products produced
according to the work hours are displayed.
• Target-actual result difference display mode
In the under target-actual result difference display mode, the
difference between the target number of products and the actual
number of products produced is displayed.
Since operators are able to work while checking their actual
number of products on the panel at all times, they can strengthen
their sense of purpose of achieving the target, thereby increasing
productivity. Operators can visually check the progress of their
work in real time, leading to the early detection of any problems
and the execution of early corrective measures.

CP-180A
Operation measuring function
• Sewing machine availability display mode
Under the sewing machine availability display mode, the average
sewing machine availability in the previous cycle and the current
cycle is displayed.
• Pitch time display mode
Under the pitch time display mode, the average process
machining time in the previous cycle and the current cycle is
displayed.
• Average speed of stitch display mode
Under the average speed of stitch display mode, the accumulated
speed of stitch in the previous cycle and the current cycle is
displayed.
Bobbin
counter function
Since the sewing machine operation status, pitch time (process
machining time), can be automatically measured, process analysis,
line arrangement and confirmation of facility efficiency can be
obtained with ease. As a result, the man-hours required for
production control are reduced.
Bobbin counter function
• Bobbin counter display mode
The operator is notified that the bobbin needs to be replaced
before the bobbin thread runs out.
Since the operator is notified of the time to replace the bobbin, the
operator is no longer required to carry out the re-sewing of seams
sewn without bobbin thread, thereby increasing working efficiency.
In addition, the operator carries out his/her work under a
stress-free environment without worrying about needle-hole
damage to the material, which is likely to be made when sewing
without bobbin thread.
