Stitch Regulator Trouble shooting:
Setup Errors:
•
Over selling the SR capability: “The machine will do the same size stitch no matter
how fast you move”.
•
Improper installation of the SR encoder wheels - too tight or too loose – bind because
they are too tight so they wont spring up and down
•
No spring on encoder wheels or improperly installed or at the wrong place on
carriage. Note: Both encoder wheels are on the left as seen by the user from the front
handles.
•
Improper connection of the encoder cables.
•
Regulator not activated properly.
Operation Errors:
•
Ran over encoder cable with the machine metal wheel before connecting it.
•
Moving too fast or slow or with too much irregularity or quick speed variations.
•
Did not hit select the 2nd time to fully activate the regulator.
•
Do not have encoders and 9 pin cable plugged in.
•
Not aware that they must move the machine much slower with more stitches per inch,
e.g. at 15 SPI. They can move faster with 4 SPI.
Mechanical Problems:
•
Wheels mounted too tight and wont spring down to track
•
Wheel not on track – bracket bent.
•
Encoder wheel loose on axle – 1/16” screw loose.
