Electro-Mechanical
Sequential
Devices
are
designed
to
automatically
space
buttonhole
sewing
in
a
garment.
The spacing governs the
number
of buttonholes
which
can
be
sewn
in
one
cycling
ofthe
unit.
A complete unit consists of a steel cabinet
which
houses the
mechanism
required
for
the
automatic
move
ment of the garment. Top surface of cabinet
forms
a
table
which
supports
a
sewing
machine
and
a
control
panel.
GENERAL
FEATURES
Com
actuated
mechanism
controls operation of
sewing machine.
Electrical switches control operation of entire
device.
G>ntrol panel
contains
electrical
equipment
neces
sary to coordinate control circuits. Panel is equipped
with thermal-overload
protection.
ASeries 38 Motor drives sewing machine. Indexing
Unit is
also
driven by this motor through Speed-Re-
ducer. Orders for motor must specify correct voltage,
cycles
and
phase
required.
SPECIAL
FEATURES
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL
SEQUENTIAL
DEVICE
257000 is designed for
use
with Buttonhole Sewing
Machine
71-201.
Entire automatic buttonholing unit is
known
as
Machine
256W1.
Machine
256W1
sequentially positions buttonholes
parallel to edge of garment in accordance with a pre
determined spacing. Buttonholes con be aligned
from
3/8
inch to 1 inch from edge of facing.
The
machine
positions
and feeds
the
garment so
that buttonholes are located vertically. From 3 to 7
buttonholes con be sewn in one
cycle,
depending upon
the desired spacing within the machine's travel limit
of
19
inches.
Spacing between buttonholes is adjustable
from
2)4
inches
to 5)4
inches
opart.
Feed
wheels
available
for 100, 120, 150
and
180
stitches per buttonhole. Machine regularly supplied
with feed wheel for 120
stitches
per buttonhole.

With equal
ease,
machine
handles
resin-finished
cottons, cotton and synthetic blends, 100%
synthetics
and
silks.
Acounter automatically
stops
machine before bob
bin thread runs out. Red Indicator Light informs opera
tor of
reason
for
stoppage.
If
needle
thread
breaks,

matically prevented
from
cutting buttonhole and opera
tion is automatically stopped.
Knives available will cut buttonholes
3/8",
1/2",
5/8"
and

MANUAL
START-LEVER:
Place
manual
start-lever
mounting bracket on base top-plate, with upright sec
tion of bracket facing the machine,
as
shown below.
Fasten bracket securely with two socket screws and
washers, using tapped holes provided for
this
purpose
in
the
top
plate.
Assemble
start-lever
to
bracket
with
hinge
screw.
Upright section of start lever must face operator (at
front of unit). Start-lever should be mounted on left
face of upright section of bracket. Place coil of lever
spring
around
threaded
portion
of hinge screw and
tail end of spring hooked over rear section of start-lever
as shown.
Place
washer
and nut on hinge
screw,
tight
ening nut to apply just enough tension on spring to
prevent start-lever
from
vibrating during operation of
unit.
STARTING LEVER PUSH-ROD:
Place
push-rod bracket
in position shown on base top-plate and, using tapped
holes provided in plate, fasten bracket to top-plate
with
two
socket
screws.
Slip push-rod through manual start-lever
collar
and
insert
push-rod in push-rod
bracket
as shown.
Position
collar approximately
1/2
inch above top edge of start-
lever.
There
should
be
clearance
between
collar
and
push-rod bracket when push-rod is at
its
lowest point.
Tighten
set
screw in collar securely.
Assemble
push-rod
adjusting
screw and nut
to
top
end of push rod,
as
shown. Turn screw inward, approxi
mately 15 threads; leaving nut loose above push-rod,
for later adjustment.
Machine starting trip lever assembly should be
assembled
on machine,
as
shown. If it is not,
place
bracket mounting block, trip lever bracket and trip
lever in
position
as
shown and
fasten
block
to machine
bed
with
two
socket
screws.
This
block
should
be
positioned
as
far away from machine
as
its
screw
slots
will
allow.
From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC
Adjust the push-rod adjusting screw so that It will
cause the trip lever to engage the
machine
starting
lever
in the "RUN" position,
providing
on
additional
1/32
inch
overthrow
when
actuated
by
the
indexing
unit's
machine
starting
lever.
When
correct adjust
ment is obtained tighten adjusting screw nut
shown
in
Fig. 5, to
retain
this
setting.
CLAMP
LIFTING
CABLE:
Make
certain
that
machine
is in
"stop"
position. (See Service
Manual
for sewing
machine.)
Connect lower thread cutting lever extension to
lower-thread cutting lever. Observe that
mounting
hole
in extension, shown in Fig. 7, is
offset
from centerline
to
give
mechanic
a
choice
of
either
a
"HIGH"
or
"LOW" location of lifting coble connecting pin at
outer end of lever. Mounting hole con be positioned
above or below centerline by merely flipping extension
over,
OS
required. As it is usually correct to assemble
extension so that outer end is in the "LOW" position,
mounting hole should be positioned above the center-
line.
Depress lever extension, inserting it into
slot
at
top of clomp lifting safety device as shown in Fig. 6.
Align pin in safety device with second hole
from
outer
end of extension and insert connection pin.
Clomp lift should be
set
to obtain a
3/8
inch
clear
ance under clamp check on machine. To
adjust,
loosen
cable
lock-nut
and
thread
the
lift
cable
into
or
out
of
plunger beneath the pressure cylinder. If sufficient
lift
cannot
be
obtained
even
when
cable
is
threaded
all the way into plunger, remove coble
from
plunger
and out of clomp lifting lever below
base
top plate.
Insert
sufficient
space
washers
above boll at bottom
end of coble to obtain correct range of adjustment and
replace cable up through clamp lifting lever and into
plunger.
When
correct setting is obtained, securely
tighten
cable
lock-nut.

MACHINE DRIVING
BELT:
Motor is
fastened
to
belt
tightener bracket
with
four
nuts
and
bolts.
Loosen
these four nuts and olign driving pulley on
motor
with
tight
pulley
on
arm
shaft of
machine.
Driving
belt
should be as
close
to perpendicular as possible when
it is driving the tight pulley.
Move
motor
toword right
or left along underside of belt tightener bracket,
as
re
quired, to obtain this setting. Then securely tighten
the
four
motor
bolt
nuts.
The correct
tension
of the machine driving belt
is obtoined
by
raising or
lowering
one end of the belt
tightener bracket, as required.
When
first installed, a new belt is stiff and the
tension should be adjusted so that there is enough
stack to
permit
belt to curve slightly between
motor
and machine pulleys. After a few days
service,
tension
should be increosed to a point where one side of belt
(but not both) can be pressed
1/2
inch out of a straight
line between pulleys. Too tight an adjustment wastes
power
and causes unnecessary wear on a belt.
To adjust, loosen lock nut
shown
in illustration of
belt tightener and adjusting nut below it to
raise
or
lower belt tightener,
as
required.
When
correct
tension
on belt is obtained, securely tighten lock nut.
During
adjustment of
motor
driving
belt, it
may
be
necessary to disturb setting of reductor at side of
motor.
Reductor
may
be
moved
toward left or right of
its
mounting
by loosening four fastening bolts.
After adjustments have been accomplished on
motor,
move reductor toward right or left to obtain correct
tension on its driving belt. Tension on this belt should
be similar to
that
required on machine driving belt.
Securely tighten four reductor fastening bolts.
