In most of the cases you get good results when setting the tension loose: "when you hold onto the bobbin thread and let the bobbin case hang, it should begin a slow but steady drop."

Make sure that bobbin case and spring are clean before beginning this procedure. This is to ensure consistency once proper tension is set. Pull bobbin from under hole of tension spring. If bobbin case has a middle thread guide or pigtail, do not thread through at this time. Hold the bobbin by the thread hanging out of the case to check the tension. The ideal tension should be when the bobbin does not move, or is very slow releasing thread.

The AMAYA machines can stop frequently due to false bobbin breaks when doing certain cap applications. Melco Engineering is working on a software upgrade for improving bobbin detect on caps. In the meantime: please turn bobbin detect off when your AMAYA machine(s) give you false bobbin breaks (in the Settings menu, on Settings tab in AMAYA OS, uncheck Enable Bobbin Thread Detection box). Note that upper thread break detection can stay on.

Selecting the right cap frame and hooping are key! Sewing on caps in general is more difficult than sewing on flats. Different caps require different frames. And good hooping techniques are key to success. If a cap is not hooped properly, e.g. if there is a big gap between the needle plate and the cap material, you will experience a lot of thread breaks or even needle breaks.

The maximum sewing speed on caps is 1200 SPM. To achieve good results at this speed all adjustments, such as hooping, material thickness, and the design itself need to be correct. When sewing on structured caps with a heavy buckram inside, use of a Titanium or Teflon coated sharp needle is recommended. This reduces friction, which will reduce thread breaks caused by heat at higher speeds. Refer to the AMAYA Operator's Manual, for more suggestions and instructions regarding cap sewing.

Do not force belt over sheave grooves. Slack off drive for easy mounting of belt. Align and adjust drive so that belt operates free and clear of all obstructions. Belt tension is highly important. When in operation both tight and slack strands of. the belt should be in a straight line from sheave to sheave, and with no sag or bow. Check belt tension after eight hours operation, followed by periodic inspections to be sure belt is under sufficient tension and that belt is not slipping.

The mirror sling has two purposes. The first is to prevent the mirror from rotating, which would shift the triangles from being centered over the collimation bolts. The second is to lift the mirror up off the lower two cell posts. This provides a nice even support for the mirror and allows the mirror to follow the collimation bolts when they are backed off, rather than being held by friction on the lower posts.

The AMAYA machines are more quiet than a conventional machine when using the standard needle plate. When using the raised needle plate with wings, the presser foot comes in contact with the needle plate (because the needle plate is higher). This contact between the presser foot and needleplate is harmless, but it does create a higher noise level.

Answer with ease that in any job and any situation that tension is a part of it. Relax before putting the f act you are very used to such type of works.

Your chain tension is set correctly is when the chain is as tight as possible, but still moves freely around the guide bar. To check your chain tension be sure that your bar and chain are lubricated with bar & chain oil. Then, wearing gloves or using a rag to protect your hands, grab the chain on the top rail midpoint of the bar and the bottom rail midpoint of the bar. Aggressively pull the chain back and forth several times to be sure it is seated properly.

Depending on where you live, tension can mean knitting gauge or it can have to do with the openness or tightness of your knitting. Gauge is important because how your stitches look will influence how the finished knitted item looks.

Much like you, when we first saw this design technique years ago, we were concerned with its securing capabilities. However, once the designer insisted that we try to pry the diamond free, it became apparently clear that it could not be done. So yes, this diamond is absolutely secure. In fact, the ring is made around a specific diamond and secured under 65 to 95 pounds of pressure.

If the apron is a badge of a Mason in Blue Lodge, the cap can be said to be the public badge of a Scottish Rite Mason. It is considered a part of the uniform and the different colors indicate the degree of the wearer. (black – 32nd, red – KCCH, white – 33˚)

Fine tuning the correct amount of tension on a Rubber Belt is largely a function of experience. Several variables, including the current thickness of the belt, the style of fabric being processed, etc., need to be taken into account for an accurate determination. In general, however, the proper tension on a 67 mm (2 5/8") thick Rubber Belt can be approximated as follows: With the rubber blanket tension set at the minimum position, draw two (2) lines*, 30.
