B.2 Functions of the machine
B.2.1 Functional of the machine Fig.2
The CLOSING SEAM MACHINE 1282-4 allows the con-
tour-identical sewing of front and rear trousers compon-
ents in side and crotch seams.The side seam can be sewn
with a braid pocket, a wing pocket or a pocket that is in-
tegrated to the side seam.
NOTE - Possible applications!
The CLOSING SEAM MACHINE 1282-4 has been desi-
gned predominantly for the sewing of trousers compon-
ents. Therefore, the operation of the machine is descri-
bed in these instructions using trousers components as
examples.
However, the machine can also be used for processing
other sewing pieces, e.g. sleeves, rear seams of jackets
etc. The prerequisite for the correct function is always that
the length of the sewing pieces does not exceed the clear
distance between the sewing head and the start position
of the guide clamp and that the width of the sewing pie-
ces does not exceed the distance between guide rail and
worktable front edge.
Machine cycle:
Insertion process and machine cycle are effected from left
to right:
• The trousers components are lined up to guide clamp
1, contour guide 2and sewing unit 3.
• Top and bottom transport element of the sewing unit
and the puller transport the sewing pieces to the se-
wing unit to be tucked and from there to the stacker.
• During the sewing process, the automatic contour guide
controls the routing of the seam.
Fig. 2
B.2.2 Lining up/aligning trousers components Fig. 2
The front and rear trousers components are placed onto
one another with flush seams. The sequence for lining up
the trousers components depends on the seam to be
effected:
• For sewing the crotch seam, the rear component is
below, the front component is up. For sewing the side
seams of these trousers components, the rear com-
ponent is up, the front component is below.
• For sewing the right trousers components, the se-
quence is inversed.
The two trousers components 2are inserted, with the
hip side oriented toward the sewing unit 4, into the
guide clamp 1where they are secured with the needle.
If equipped with the optional cloth transfer machine com-
ponent, the trousers components ends are inserted at the
cloth transfer station where they are transferred to the gui-
de clamp and secured.
Then, the two trousers components are aligned with the
contour guide 3and lined up at the stop of the sewing
unit 4.

B.2 Functions of the machine
Guide clamp, Fig. 3:
The guide clamp 5is used as a guide for the trou-
sers ends during the transport along a preset contour.
This guide mechanism ensures that the trousers com-
ponents are always lined up at the contour guide stop
and at the sewing unit stop to maintain a constant se-
wing width and an even routing of the seam along the
contour.
During the transport, a counterweight 9 suspended
from deflection rollers tensions the return ribbon 4of
the guide clamp and the cloth material without stretc-
hing it.
The trousers ends 7are inserted into the cloth hol-
der holder clamp. The clamp is closed manually, the
needle 6holds the trousers components in the gui-
de clamp.
Just before the contour guide is reached, the trousers
components are released from the guide clamp whi-
le the air-driven return lever 8is activated and returns
the guide clamp to the insertion station.
Guide rail, Fig. 3:
The flexible guide rail 1determines the route that the
guide clamp takes. The shape of the guide rail is iden-
tical with the contour of the components to be sewn.
The shape is determined by changing the position of
the guide rod 2 in the clamp 3.
Cloth transfer, Fig. 4:
If the machine is equipped with the optional automa-
tic cloth transfer 2component, the trousers ends are
inserted into the cloth transfer and transferred from
there to the equally automated guide clamp 1whe-
re they are fixed.

Fig. 5
This setting ensures the easy gliding of the trou-
sers components through the contour guide and
prevents the cloth contour from overturning at the
stop pins.
• Use the handwheel 4 to set the distance of the
cover plate that holds the deflection plate 6to
the center tab 7.
Cloth guide, Fig. 5:
To allow a seam to be sewn in tailor quality, the sys-
tem can be equipped optionally with an additional cloth
guide 1for the line-up of the front trousers com-
ponent.
This feature is available only in connection with the
optional pneumatic rule guide.
Contour guide, Fig. 5:
The contour guide 5is the guide for the lower cloth
layer. It is movable in two directions (X/Y). While the
two trousers components are transported to the sewing
unit, the contour guide automatically controls the shape
of the contour in accordance with the presetting. In ad-
dition, a reduction of the seam from wide to narrow step
width can be integrated in the automatic contour control.
The two trousers components aand bare blown
to the stop pins 9of the contour guide using compres-
sed air. If required, the cloth clamp 8lowers at the
start of the sewing process and fixes the two trousers
components additionally for a freely selectable distance
along the hem to prevent the trousers components from
leaving the contour when the cloth thickens (e.g. pocket
fly).
The deflection plate 6prevents the pockets from
being caught in the contour guide during the transport.
The following settings are possible for the contour
guide:
• The air pressure for blowing the trousers compon-
ents to the stop pins 9of the contour guide can
be set at the throttle 2.
• The setting of the two handwheels 3and 4
depends on the material thickness of the cloths to
be processed.
• Use the handwheel 3to set the distance bet-
ween the center tab and the baseplate of the con-
tour guide.

B.2 Functions of the machine
B.2.3 Transport and sewing
Sewing head, Fig. 6:
The machine can be equipped with either a narrow or
a wide sewing unit 2. The seam width is determined
by the width of the pressure foot of the sewing unit and
by the setting of the rule stop 7.
The standard version of the system comprises the ma-
nually set rule stop 4to ensure a constant seam
width throuhout the entire length of the sewing piece.
The pneumatically controlled rule guide 8allows
a tapered seam width by controlling the contour gui-
de advance in the direction of Y using the shaft 6
and the catch 7.
The photocell 1at the sewing head controls the
sewing start. When the reflection of the light beam on
the reflective area 3is interrupted by the cloth ma-
terial, the pressure foot lowers. Depending on the pre-
set start mode, the sewing process now starts fully au-
tomatically or must be started manually.
The curve which the contour guide travels for controlling
the closing seam is calculated by the program control,
unit using the input X/Y values (see Section D, Pro-
gramming Instructions).
NOTE - Reflective film
The reflective area 3of the photocell must not be
damaged as otherwise a failure of the sewing unit will
occur.

B.2 Functions of the machine
Transport unit, Fig. 7:
The transport unit 1consists of the puller 4and the
roller unit 2.The roller unit picks up the trousers com-
ponents 3from the sewing head transport and trans-
ports them along the worktable edge to the stacker
(Fig. 8).
The puller adapts its rotating speed correspondingly
to ensure that the cloth contour is guided at the rule
stop.
If the sewing piece moves away from the rule stop, the
puller reduces its rotating speed so that the sewing pie-
ce is pulled towards the rule stop.
When the sewing piece is moved too close to the rule
stop, the rotating speed of the puller is increased.
To improve the gliding of the trousers components, the
puller area has six compressed-air nozzles 5 in the
working plate. The compressed air blows against the
trousers components from below to create an air cus-
hion that reduces friction.
