Scope Of Manual
The EMC 10/4 Embroidery Peripheral Technical Manual is designed to provide the
user with information necessary to perform repairs beyond routine operator
maintenance.
The Melco EMC 10/4 Embroidery Peripheral is one of several embroidery peripherals
in Melco’s EDS II and EDS III family of products. The EMC 10/4 is a four head
embroidery machine, which is assembled with the Melco ten-needle, cylinder arm
embroidery heads. It is designed to allow for flat goods and cap frame embroidery.
It is equipped with an Under Thread Control (UTC) device which is used to detect
the presence of bobbin thread. An optional Thread Trimmer system is also available.
This technical manual is presented in three basic sections: 1) an overview of general
information, such as the proper configuration of the peripheral, found in this
introductory section, 2) service adjustments, and 3) mechanical disassembly and
replacement of the major components of the embroidery peripheral.
Warranty Registration
Please complete the Warranty Registration form upon installation of the system;
and return it to Melco to validate and register the machine warranty. If no Warranty
Registration is on file at Melco when warranty service is requested, it will be
assumed that your warranty began on the 7th day after the ship date from Melco.
Standard Conventions Used In Manual
Throughout this manual several abbreviations and specific terms may be used. The
following explains some of this terminology:
When referring to the Embroidery Peripheral or peripherals, the initials "EP" or
"EPs" may occasionally be used. When speaking of a "printed circuit board," the
item may quite often be referred to as a "PCB."
The terms "X Beam", "Y Beam", "Beam", "Carriage", "Carriage Assembly" and
"Pantograph" may all refer to the same general area. Specifically, the Pantograph
consists of the Y Beam (the part that moves forward and backward) and the X
Carriage (the part within the Y Beam that moves left and right, and to which the
hoops or cap frame drivers are attached).
Certain procedures in the manual require actions such as pressing a certain key, or
typing some letters at the computer keyboard. The following is a list of some of the
more commonly used conventions found in this manual.
• To indicate a key on the computer keyboard, it is referred to as simply the
key in question, for example: Press the Enter key to initiate the application.
