NR. PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
» THREAD TENSION
ADVICE!
Thread tension
The thread tension on conventional machines is adjusted with a spring. The reproduction of the desired thread
tension is difficult. The VETRON sets the thread tension with a step motor. The task of the tension spring is taken
over by a elastomer. A second thread tension on conventional machines needs an additional tension unit.
The VETRON accomplish the 2
nd
thread tension by increasing the tension.
030 Thread tension A 1
Main thread tension in program.
Setting range 0 to 100 %.
031 Thread tension A 2
Higher thread tension than the main program.
Setting range 0 to 100 %.
The connection with the higher thread tension can be done by pushing button
3
,
or
1
or when the 2
nd
top feed stroke is activated.
032
Thread tension B 1
(Two needle machine)
Main thread tension in program.
Setting range 0 to 100 %.
033
Thread tension B 2
(Two needle machine)
Higher thread tension than the main program.
Setting range 0 to 100 %.
The connection with the higher thread tension can be done by pushing button
3
,
or
1
or when the 2
nd
top feed stroke is activated.
034
Thread tension level increase / decrease
based on material thickness
Two function are available.
Function 1 =
OFF (no change on different material thickness)
Function 2 = % (lower percentage = less thread tension increase)
(higher percentage = more thread tension increase)
Automatic thread tension adjustment depends on material thickness
The tension will be adjusted with the information received from the material
thickness recognition. You can activate this function with the parameter 034 .
With a lower percentage the increase will be less than with a higher percentage.
