Adjustment Adjustment The adjustments in this chapter are explained with the use of illustrations of the PFAFF 5483-814/01 or PFAFF 5483 H-814/01. Notes on adjusting All adjustments in these adjustment instructions are based on a completely installed machine and must only be carried out by appropriately trained specialists. Covers on the machine, which have to be removed and replaced for checks and adjustment work, are not mentioned here.
Adjustment Control and adjustment aids By adjusting the holes 1, 3 and 4 with the adjustment pin ( ∅ 5 mm) the required needle bar positions can be set exactly. Fig. 2 - 01 Turn the balance wheel until the needle by is approximately in the required postion. Insert the adjustment pin into the appropriate adjustment hole and apply pressure.
Adjustment Pre-adjust the thread catcher Requirement 1. Between the point of the thread catcher 4 and the front edge of the mounting plate 1 there must be a clearance of 32.5 - 33 mm. 2. The guide plates 5 must be parallel to the mounting plate 1. 3.
Adjustment 2.07 Positioning the ball stud Requirement In a vertical position the ball stud 1 must 1. be located in the middle of actuator 5 and 2. have a clearance of 0.5 mm to the bottom of actuator 5. Fig. 2 - 03 Set ball stud 1 in a vertical position.
Adjustment Position of thread catcher to needle Requirement When the thread-trimming device is in a neutral position, there must be a clearance of 7 mm between the point of the thread catcher 4 and the needle center. 7 mm Fig. 2 - 04 Bring the thread-trimming device into its neutral position.
Adjustment Thread catcher interlock Requirement 1. When the needle bar is at TDC, the roller 3 must be located in the center of the cutout of the interlocking cam 2. 2. When the thread-trimming device is in a neutral position and the needle bar is at BDC, there must be a clearance of 0.5 - 1 mm between the interlocking cam 2 and the roller 3.
Adjustment Tension release Requirement When the cylinder is fully actuated, there must be a clearance of about 0.5 mm between the top end of the elongated hole in plate 1 and the guide pin 3. Fig. 2 - 06 Fully actuate the cylinder of the thread-trimming device. Adjust plate 1 (screw 2) according to the requirement.
