Carriage Section
This section consists of the mechanical device and associated parts for securing and
moving the hoops in the x and y coordinates during the stitching process. This
assembly is sometimes referred to as the pantograph. The main cross member
consists of 2 basic parts, the X carriage and the Y beam.
The X carriage has the 4 hoop holders attached to it and the X carriage itself is
secured inside the Y beam. It is driven left and right by a single belt within the
assembly. This belt is driven by the spline shaft. The spline shaft is attached to the X
motor through a belt and pulley arrangement.
The Y beam is secured at each end to a sliding bushing and shaft combination
which allows forward and backward movement of the beam. The Y beam is driven
by a drive belt at each end and 2 drive belts in the middle. The beam is
mechanically coupled to the Y drive motor through these 4 belts, a long belt drive
shaft, and the motor drive belt.
Carriage Set Home Position
When the set home function is initiated, the pantograph moves to the center of the
embroidery field and then returns to its previous position. The left to right center
position of the carriage is determined by the X home disk position in reference to
the position detect PCB at the front of the X carriage ball spline drive shaft. These
relative positions may be changed whenever the X carriage drive belt is removed or
replaced. The position of the X home disk assembly must therefore be checked and
adjusted at the mechanical center of the X carriage movement.
The most forward disk of the 3 disks in front of the ball spline shaft should be
centered (or very nearly centered) at the bottom of the front support bracket as
shown in Figure 2-3. If not centered, you must move the X carriage belt without
moving the X carriage from its centered position.
"FACTORY SERVICE ADVISED"
Note: Performing this procedure results in the need for setting X belt tension
which in turn requires using a special service tool.
1. Turn OFF the embroidery peripheral and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the table top inserts and the middle table top section.
3. Position the X carriage approximately at the center of the embroidery field.
4. Install a cap frame driver to one of the heads. (If the cap frame option is not on
this unit, skip to the next step.)
