1. Features
The pneumatic type clamp is used to increase or decrease the force applied on the material to be
stitched, and to adjust the pressing speed. This clamp is effective if the material to be stitched is heavy
and the magnetic type clamp is too weak to hold the material, or if the material is soft and needs to be
gently pressed.
2. Specifications

4. Setup procedures
4.1 Installing the clamp drive mechanism
(1) Remove the four screws on the Y axis movement race side fixing the clamp base (Fig.No.112) and
the two screws on the axis support side, and remove the magnetic clamp mechanism mounted as
a standard on the sewing machine.
(2) Using the screws removed above,install this pneumatic clamp mechanism following the above step
in reverse. Make sure that the clamp is not inclined at this time.
(3) If there is no need to reinstall the magnetic clamp mounted as a standard on the sewing machine
after changing to the pneumatic type clamp, it is recommended to remove the drive mechanism
parts in the sewing machine head.
To remove these parts, refer to the part catalog P-246 for the PLK-G1010 sewing machine unit, and
remove the parts (except No.120) in page14 of the catalog. Use the parts Fig.No.307, 308, and 309
which enclosed with this attachment as a cover.
4.2 Installing the pneumatic pressure control related parts
(1) The regulator and solenoid valve assembly configured of Fig.No.201, etc., are fixed to the bottom of
the sewing machine table with the enclosed Fig.No.305 wood screws (two screws).
(2) Align the piping symbols of the Fig.No.207 and 208 air tubes (φ4) with ports A to B on the
pneumatic clamp's Fig.No.109 air cylinder, and insert the tubes.
(3) Pass the air tubes through the notched section on the side of the sewing machine unit's motor cover,
and lead the tubes to the bottom of the table from the square hole on the table.
(4) Align the air tubes led out above with the ports A to B of the solenoid valve installed in step (1), and
insert the tubes.
(5) Bind the air tubes appropriately with the enclosed Fig.No.301 Cable ties.
4.3 Connecting the switches and cables
(1) Remove the cover for the connector panel on the back of the sewing machine.
(2) Disconnect the cable connected to CON13 (FU) on the solenoid PCB. This cable is not used after
this attachment is mounted. Fix it where it will not obstruct the other electric parts.
(3) Lead out the Fig.No.206 cables connected to the solenoid valve from the slot on the back of the
sewing machine table, pass through the cord bushing on the connector panel, and lead in to the
solenoid PCB side.
(4) Insert the Fig.No.206 cable connector to CON13 (FU) on the PCB from where the cable was
disconnected above.
(5) This completes the connection of the wiring. Check the connection with the following table, and
then securely install the cover removed from the connector panel.
Always make sure that the power is OFF before starting setting work.
