The application of the microcomputer to various industrial machinery or equipment is expanding. The sewing industry is no exception to this trend, positively employing microcomputers for more advanced automation, labour saving and further industrialization. To satisfy recent needs, a sewing machine motor equipped with eddy current variable-speed clutch, LIMI-STOP Z, was developed. The LIMI-STOP Z features, besides a friction-free low inertial clutch used instead of the conventional friction type clutch, the use of a 4-bit microcomputer in the control system. This paper describes the principle, composition and functions of the LIMI-STOP Z. |
