BAS-364E.366E.370E.375E
Programmable Electronic Pattern Sewer with Cylinder Bed
R
Many different patterns can be programmed easily, and anyone can efficiently
create high-quality sewing finishes.

This electronic lockstitcher is ideal for sewing large-sized patterns onto heavy-weight
materials such as natural and synthetic leather articles and air bags. The upper shaft
torque has been increased to make it easier to sew heavy-weight materials. Accurate
sewing performance can be obtained even for articles such as air bags which are normally
difficult to sew.
Furthermore, the adoption of radical new technology greatly improves ease of use and
reliability, and also boosts cost performance and productivity and enhances the quality of
the finished article. This results in a great overall improvement in
the working environment.

1. Higher speed
Max. sewing speed 3,200rpm*
Feed speed 500mm/s
The feed speed is fast 500mm/s. This greatly reduces handling time
and make sew cycle faster.
* Continuous feed, stitch length :3mm or less
Minimum resolution 0.05mm/1 pulse
Max. number of stitches 20,000stitches /1 pattern
360,000stitches /100 patterns
A single pattern can also be divided into 100 separate patterns, and
each of these 100 patterns can be further divided into 100 patterns,
giving a total of 10,000 selectable patterns. The E series can also read
embroidery data(TFD).
4. Lower noise
The adoption of an AC servomotor and a double-capacity rotary hook
make machine operation quiet. This sewing machine has been
designed with operator comfort in mind.
6. Greater comfort
The minimum number of keys that are necessary for normal sewing
operations are located on the simplified operation panel, along with
an easy-to-see LED display. The operator can position the operation
panel where it is most convenient to use.
5. Greater
performance
A blue back-lit LCD which is easy to
read and relaxing for the eyes has
been adopted. All kind of sewing data
can be created easily, just by
selecting icons on a screen. An
image of the sewing data appears on
the LCD panel during data editing, so
that the pattern being programmed
can be checked at a glance. The
programmer generates not only error
codes, but full messages that list the
nature of the problem and the method
of resolving the problem.
3. Higher capacity
Max. number of stitches 20,000stitches /1 pattern
360,000stitches /100 patterns
Max. sewing speed 3,200rpm*
Feed speed 500mm/s
2. Higher precision
A linear guide is used in the feed mechanism, so that the feeding data
can be set to a high resolution of 0.05 mm per pulse. This makes it
possible to produce beautifully smooth curves and diagonal lines. In
addition, detecting the home position is carried out accurately by a
magnetic sensor which is not affected by oil stains or dust.
Minimum resolution 0.05mm/1 pulse

Features of the BAS-370E series
Power boost for heavy-weight materials
Gesteigerte Leistung für schweres Nähgut
Suralimentation pour les tissus lourds
Mayor potencia para costura de materiales pesados
The power of the sewing machine motor has been increased to 750 W
and the torque has also been increased, thus giving a boost to the
needle penetration force. This gives greater precision and better
performance, particularly when sewing heavy-weight materials.
Auto-eject cassette mechanism
Automatischer Kassettenauswurf
Dispositif d’éjection automatique de cassette
Mecanismo de explusión automática de casete
When the cassette is brought close to the feed mechanism, it is
detected by a sensor and is attached automatically. Then when sewing
is finished, the cassette is ejected automatically.
Improved thread trimming precision
Verbesserte Fadenabschneidepräzision
Précision améliorée de l'ébarbage du fil
Cortahilos de alta precisión
Thread trimming is accurately carried out even in the hitch stitch area
where thread trimming errors can often occur. Thicker threads of up to
#4 count can even be cut.
Stepping foot easily handles material joints
Der Steppfuß garantiert eine saubere Verarbeitung
bei Stoffübergängen
La pédale de pied manie facilement les joints de tissus
Prensatelas para coser uniones de materiales con facilidad
The stroke of the stepping foot can be adjusted smoothly to any height
between 3.2 mm and 7.2 mm to suit the material being sewn.
Steady and accurate starting
Präziser Nähbeginn
Début de couture régulier et précis
Comienzo de costura estable y precioso
The needle thread presser presses the needle thread to prevent the
thread being fed out from the tension disc at the feed time after thread
trimming. (Standard equipment)
Greater ease of maintenance
Erleichterte Wartung
Plus grande facilité d'entretien
Mantenimiento más fácil
The side cover has been changed so that it only covers the parts that
need to be covered. This makes removal simpler and gives an overall
improvement to the ease of carrying out maintenance.
Beam sensor type needle thread breakage detector is
equipped as standard.

Optional
Stepping foot control device
The height of the stepping foot above the
needle plate can be programmed at seven
different settings between 0-6 mm (1mm
increments). The height of the stepping
foot can be changed during the sewing of a
pattern if the article being sewn is not of a
uniform thickness.
Two-stage thread tension device
It is possible to set two different degrees of
thread tension for sewing a single pattern
in which there are differences in sewing
direction or material thickness, resulting in
a more beautiful finish.
Automatic bobbin changer
The bobbin is replaced automatically before
the bobbin thread runs out. This eliminates
the need to continually check the amount of
bobbin thread remaining and reduces the
number of times you need to change bobbins.
This feature is extremely useful in cases
where joining the thread is not possible, and
it increases productivity dramatically.
Sub clamp
The sub clamp mechanism is useful when
the main clamp cannot sufficiently hold
the material by itself. The sub clamp
firmly supports the main clamp all the
time, resulting in stable and uniform
sewing (BAS-370E/375E only)
Bottom plunger
This prevents the material from moving up
and down as a result of needle penetration
when using a cassette-type clamp. It is
particularly useful in preventing skipped
stitches from occurring when sewing thin
materials. It also makes sewing of
materials with small narrow edges and
sewing margins easier.
BAS-PC/300 Programming software
for electronic pattern sewer
This is a software program which creates
new sewing patterns using a personal
computer. This pattern data is saved to a
floppy disk, so that the patterns can be
sewn later simply by inserting the disk into
the pattern sewer.
Milling device
This device directly uses sewing data to
create work clamps, so that the clamps
ideally suit the sewing task, and sewing is
also possible with the device still installed.
The cutting depth can be easily adjusted by
means of an adjustment dial, and the
channels in the lower and upper cassette
plates can also be changed for processing.
In addition, scraps are removed
automatically.
Jig pattern sensor
This sensor reports an error if the shape of
the work clamp is not compatible with the
programmed sewing pattern. This prevents
interruptions such as those caused by bent
needles from occurring.
