3-3 Preparation before Embroidering

Setting the contents below should be finished or confirmed before embroidering in


embroidery preparation status. Such as: (1) automatic color-change or manual color-change,
which is to change color automatically when there is color-change code during embroidering or
to change color manually after machine stops. (2) automatic start or manual start, which is to
start automatically or manually after automatic color-change, and if it is automatic
color-change, the color line should be set. (3) besides, it is necessary to set figure direction( see
Chapter 6), the rotation angle of figure, size ratio and number of repeating embroidery.( see
Chapter 12).
3-4 Select a Design for Embroidery and Confirm to Embroider the Design

1. Descriptions of Saving and Restoring Design’s Origin Point


(1) The meaning of saving and restoring design’s origin point
That means save the origin point of a design so that leave you away from repositioning
when embroidering the same designs (there may be other design to embroider among them).
(2) The precondition of saving and restoring design’s origin point
The function can be realized until the machine’s zero point (or frame zero point) is set and
is available (the setting method is shown in Section 12-4 ).
(3) The main points must be explained and noticed.
Point 1: when selecting design, there will be a prompt “NO ZERO POINT, CANNOT
SAVE ORIGIN” if you have not set the machine’s zero point, then, please set, and the function
can be realized (see section 12-4 to know how to set the machine’s zero point.)
Point 2: when selecting design, if there is a “*” behind the design number (that means the
design has been saved), and if the current position is not accordant with the position been saved,
then there will be a prompt: “PRESS [HOME] TO RESTORE ORIGIN”, and the design’s
origin point can be recovered. There isn’t the prompt in other case.
Point 3: we suggest you do as the following sequence if you use the function of saving
and restoring the design’s origin point: first, select one design, then, move the frame to find the
design’s origin point, and at last, confirm to embroider, save and store the design’s origin point
according to the prompt.
Point 4: the design’s origin point that has been found by moving the frame after
embroidering confirmation will not be saved and stored.

18 BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual


Chapter 3 How to Start Embroidery

Point 5: If the design’s origin point has been saved and stored, it can be helpful to the
power resume function. When power off and the frame has been moved, and when the design’s
origin point is available (if not available, set the machine’s zero point again and ensure that it is
same as before), release embroidery confirmation status and select the same design and recover
the design’s origin point, then confirm to embroider, and do high-speed idling to the stop point,
finally continue embroidering.
2. Explanations about saving and storing embroidery parameters.
When confirming to embroider a design, the machine can save and store the design
parameters for later use. The parameters are: design direction, angle of rotation, X scale, Y
scale, priority mode, repetition mode, repetition times, frequency of X repetition, frequency of
Y repetition, X repetition distance, Y repetition distance and color-change sequence (can
store/recover the first 100 color numbers).
If the design parameters of a design have been saved, then when selecting the same design,
it can recover the design parameters automatically.
This function is very applicable when embroidering the same design repetitiously without
changing the design parameters, so that it can reduce the times of inputting parameters and
reduce the operation mistakes.
3. Select a design for embroidery
Operation:
(1) Press " " key (in embroidery preparation status), the computer shows as following:

(3) Press " ", " " and " " key to select the following parameters for revising them:
① Angle of rotation (0° ~ 89°)
Use digital key, " " and " " keys to input data. This angle is an angle at which a
design rotating counterclockwise according to the selected design direction.
② X magnification (50% ~ 200%)
Use digital key, " " and " " keys to input data. This magnification is a transverse
magnification of a design.
③ Y magnification
Use digital key, " " and " " keys to input data. This magnification is a longitudinal
magnification of a design.
④ Repetition sequence (X priority or Y priority)
Use " ", " " and " " keys to perform the inputting. X priority presents the
repetitive embroidery line by line in transverse direction during repetition. Y priority presents
the repetitive embroidery row by row in longitudinal direction.
⑤ Repetition mode
Use " ", " " and " " keys to perform the inputting. Usual repetition refers to the
embroidering operation that after a complete design having been embroidered, the same design
will be embroidered in the next position, i.e. the repetitive embroidery is performed by a
complete design after another. Partial repetition refers to the embroidering operation that
after a design having been embroidered with stitches of one color, the embroidery will be
continued in the corresponding position of the next design with the same color stitches until
this color repetition is completed, and then the embroidering operation will repeat with another
color stitches until the repetitive embroidery is made with all color-stitches, i.e. the completion
of the repetition of a complete design is based on the repetition of each part.
For partial repetition, you must compile the pre-embroidering design into a normal design,
and embroider the normal design. (See Chapter 17)
⑥ Frequency of X repetition (1 ~ 99)
Use digital key, " " and " " keys to input data. The frequency of X repetition presents
the number of transversal repetition, i.e. the frequency of repetitive embroidery in a line.
⑦ Frequency of Y repetition (1 ~ 99)
Use digital key, " " and " " keys to input data. The frequency of Y repetition presents

BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual 53


Chapter 12 Other management and Setting the Parameters

the number of longitudinal repetition, i.e. the frequency of repetitive embroidery in a row.
⑧ X repetition distance (unit: mm)
Use digital key, " ", " " and " " keys to input data. X repetition distance presents
the distance between the starting points of two adjacent designs in transverse direction during
repetition (accuracy: 0.1mm).
⑨ Y repetition distance (unit: mm)
Use digital key, " ", " " and " " keys to input data. Y repetition distance presents
the distance between the starting points of two adjacent designs in longitudinal direction during
repetition (accuracy: 0.1mm).
⑩ Priority modes (magnification priority or rotation priority)
Use " ", " " and " " keys to perform the inputting. When selecting X magnification
dissimilar to Y magnification and with rotating angle, the magnification priority and rotation
priority can give different embroidery results.

12-4 Setting Frame Protection when Power Off (Setting the Machine’s Zero
Point)

The purposes of the operation are:


Purpose 1: The function of “setting the protection when power off/frame zero point” can
restore the frame position when power off unexpectedly together with the function of power
resume.
Purpose 2: The function of “setting the protection when power off/frame zero point” is to
set the base point when a design’s origin point needs to be saved and restored. This base point
is recommended to be any point on the bedplate, once being set, you’d better not change it and
should marks flag.
Note:
Note 1: The realization of purpose 1 is based on the available limit switch and setting
frame zero point automatically.
Note 2: The operation of “setting frame zero point automatically” or “Setting frame zero
point manually” all can set the base of saving and restoring the design’s origin point.

Note 3: The operation of this function can only be done with one of two operations of
“setting frame zero point automatically” and “Setting frame zero point manually”.
Note 4: Except for particular instance, during embroidering by normal operation, whether
handy frame origin memory or auto frame origin memory, one time correct setup is ok.
1. Setting frame zero point manually
Note: when meeting emergency stop because of malfunctions or something unusual such
as power off unexpectedly, etc. the machine will cancel the “setting frame origin” function to
avoid the mistakes. So, at that time, you should do operation of “Setting frame zero point
manually” again at the last frame zero point.
If the frame has been moved after power off, or if power on again after maintenance, you
should do again the operation of “Setting frame zero point manually”.

Chapter 14 Edit of the Design in Memory

Adopting the most convenient, direct-viewing and full-screen editing mode, the function
of editing design in memory has more advantages, such as: easy editing, flexible, faultless.
This function is able to directly carry out edit of the design with stitch count of less than
65 thousand. For the oversize design, indirect edit can be made. As for the oversize design, it
is recommended to divide the design into several sub-designs (the sub-designs to be edited
have stitch count of less than 65 thousand) which will then be edited respectively, and finally
several sub-designs are spliced in order. Owing to the oversize designs appear seldom,
therefore the contradiction between editing speed and editing oversize design will be solved
easily.

Chapter 32 D Type Sequin Embroidery

Chapter 32 D Type Sequin Embroidery


32-1 Brief introduction on sequin embroidery
Sequin embroidery is composed of sequins and threads. We choose those hard materials
with smooth surfaces as the sequins. Embroidery works will be shining with these sequins
attached. Design with Sequin codes has its own way of designing.
D type multi-sequin embroidery of BECS-2X6 machine is divided into two groups: one is
normal multi-sequin design, made by normal design making method. The other one is special
multi-sequin design made by normal design software with special making method attached.
For normal one, you should set sequin mode when you modify the color-changing order.
Special multi-sequin design can be directly embroidered after modification of color-changing
order.
If users want to adjust sequin, they can make change by using “sequin edit”. After
changing, the multi-sequin design will be special multi-sequin design.
Note: see《AppendixⅢ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design》for detailed design making
rules.
A. Applied Scope:
This system applies to sequin embroidering control system which combines normal
embroidering mechanism and sequin sending mechanism.
B. Features and Functions:
1. Two sending sequin modes: Roller and Lever;
Roller: the core part is a wheel-like device in the whole mechanism. Its operating
principle is to wheel continuous towards one direction to send sequins into position.
Lever: the core part is staff linkage. Its operating principle is to move back-and-forth to
send the sequins into position.
2. Sequin mending and sequin sending mechanism are two independent actions
3. Delivering a sequin by operating either manual separated head or centralized
4. Display working status separated head
5. Type of sequin sending and angle can be changed by operating on the control panel.
C. Specifications
1. Sequin diameter range: 3mm,4mm,5mm,6.75mm and 9mm;
2. The maximum speed for sequin embroidery is 850 rpm.
D. A/B/C/D means four delivering sequin equipment in underside depiction. If all four sequins

124 BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual


Chapter 32 D Type Sequin Embroidery

are delivered, A will be on the top, then B, C and D.


32-2 Embroider Sequin
Sequin embroidering should follow the steps as below:
1、Input design with sequin code, see related chapters of BECS-2X6 user manual for
details;
2、Users can edit or adjust designs if needed;
3、Set sequin embroidery parameters according to the following instructions;
4、Check the sequin delivery devices, make adjustment if necessary. Make sure that they
are under good working condition;
5、Set color-changing order;
6、Back to the main screen, embroidery confirm;
7、Pull bar to embroider.
Note: during the embroidery process, do not touch manual valve up/down switch, or
it may lead to damage of sequin device.
32-3 Sequin Design Editing
This function can edit every sequin design in the memory. Design will become special
sequin design after editing, they will not require setting sequin mode when adjust
color-changing order.

32-4 Parameter Setting of Multi-sequin Embroidery


In this section, we will look into adjustment of sequin device and parameter setting of
multi-sequin embroidery.

Press “ ” key to enter into Other Management screen. Press “ ” and“ ” to

move the cursor to “PARA OF SEQUIN,SPECIAL EMB,AFC”, press“ ”to enter into
parameter setting screen. The process of sequin parameter setting is similar to setting other
parameters (see related machine user manuals for details).
The following are specified parameter instructions, followed by their ranges.
(1) Speed for Sequin R(L): (300,310,…,the maximum speed)
The speed depends on the sequin size. However, sewing the same sequin with different
mechanical structure, the acting angle could be different, which is directly related to the
maximum speed.
Note: the maximum speed of flat embroidery should be higher or equal to speed for
sequin embroidery.
(2) Sequin L(R) Adj. Angle ( from -15 to 15)
It is used for jiggle adjusting sequin delivery angle.
(3) Auto start for sequin(No, Yes)
When the setting is “Yes”, system will start embroidering sequin automatically.
When the setting is “No”, machine needs manually start.
(4) Time of Sequin Action(0~15)
This is to set the time period from sequin device goes down to embroidering (0-15, the
default value is 2). If the sequin device is controlled by valve, use the default value; if it is
controlled by motor, choose 4-5.
(5) Sequin off after T.B.( No, Yes)
When the setting is “Yes”, sequin presser foot will be lift up automatically in case of
thread break. When the setting is “No”, the sequin device needs manually lifting the presser
foot.
(6) Up Valve When Jump & Nocut(No, Yes)
(7) Motor Number of R (L) Sequin(NO, 1~4,1(2~4))
Tihis parameter is set by mechanism . If there is no sequin device, then you should set to
“0”.

128 BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual


Chapter 32 D Type Sequin Embroidery

(8) Set 3/4/5/6.75/9mm of R(L) Sequin(Lever 6~40 Degree, Roller 6~40)


This is to set sequin delivery angle. If it is roller, it should be set to single way; if it is
lever, it should be set to double way. The parameter is closely related to “left/right sequin
device A/B/C/D size and color”. For example, “A size & color of R sequin” is set to “4mm X
color”, then the angle value should be “Set 4MM of R Sequin”.
(9) A/B/C/D size & color of R/L sequin
(3/4/5/6.75/9mmRed/Green/Blue/Purple/Yellow/Cyan/silver/Golden)
Setting of this parameter depends on the mechanical structure. The order from A to D is

from front to back. Move the cursor to this parameter and press to enter.
Note: “Motor Number of R (L) Sequin” is closely related to “A/B/C/D size & color of
R/L sequin”. For example, if “Motor Number of R (L) Sequin” is set to 2, then it only displays
“A/B size & color of R/L sequin”.
(10) Sequin Gap Num of R(L) Sequin(No, 1,2)
This is to set gap number. If there is no gap, then it should be set to 0.
(11) Valve Time of Right Sequin(0~5)
32-5 Setting sequin mode when adjusting color-changing order

33-4 Mechanical Category and Driving Mode Choice of Special Embroidery


Machines
Taping machines have three moving parts in the sense of mechanics. We define them as M
axis, E axis and clamp foot axis. M axis rotates a certain degrees every stitch to trace the stitch,
which ensures cords or tapes always in front of needle movement. E axis swings once every
one or two stitch to make the zigzag embroidery. Clamp foot axis is for lifting and lowering
the clamp foot.
1. M axis
The mechanism of M axis can be divided to two types. One is with clutch device, whose
action is controlled by electro pneumatic valve or by hand. Its advantage is that only the M
axis of the mending embroidery is moving and non-mending embroidery heads are still when
mending. This will help raise the quality and efficiency of mending. The other type is without
clutch device. Both of the two types are driven by servomotor and the origin of the M axis is
positioned by proximity switch.
2. E axis
According to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch for
positioning, E axis can be divided to the following types:

140 BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual


Chapter 33 Management of Coiling, Taping and Zigzag Embroidery

1) Stepping motor, driving heads separately, without proximity switch for positioning
2) Stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, with proximity switch for positioning
3) Stepping motor, driving heads by one motor, without proximity switch for positioning
4) Servomotor driving, with proximity switch for positioning
3. Clamp foot axis
The working diagram of the clamp foot: (The clamp foot working height is the interval of
the foot’s movement with every stitch. The clamp foot rising height is the foot’s moving
distance from the bottom to the upper point in non-embroidery mode. And it’s also called the
clamp foot limited height.)

rising sketch map

According to the difference in motor and whether to use the proximity switch for
positioning, the clamp foot axis can be divided to the following types:
(1) Raising the clamp foot by hand
In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the
clamp foot is raised to the limited height by hand.
(2) 2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without the holding
force and proximity switch
It uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head and
controlling its working height and limited height. The power is off and there is no the holding
force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point or bottom point. No proximity switch is
taken for positioning. And the controller by default takes that the foot is at the bottom position
when turning on the machine.
(3) 2-phase stepping motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, with the holding
force and without proximity switch
It uses a 2-phase stepping motor for driving every special embroidery head and

BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual 141


Chapter 33 Management of Coiling, Taping and Zigzag Embroidery

controlling its working height and limited height. The power is on and there is the holding
force when the clamp foot stays at the upper point, but not at the bottom point. No proximity
switch is taken for positioning. And the controller by default takes that the foot is at the bottom
position when turning on the machine.
(4) Mono-phase AC motor, driving the embroidery heads by one motor, 2 proximity
switches
In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the
clamp foot is raised to the limited height by one mono-phase AC motor driving the clamp axis.
Both the upper and bottom points are set with a proximity switch to adjust the clamp foot
rising height. Neither the upper nor bottom point has the holding force.
(5) (2-phase or 3-phase) stepping motor, driving the embroidery heads by one motor, 1
proximity switch
In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the
clamp foot is raised to the limited height by stepping motor driving the clamp axis. The upper
point is set with a proximity switch to position. The bottom point is set by parameters. Both
the upper and bottom points have the holding force.
(6) Pneumatic motor, separately driving the embroidery heads, without proximity switch
In this mode, the clamp foot working height relies on the rotating of the cam and the
clamp foot is raised to the limited height by pneumatic motor driving the heads separately.

Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

AppendixⅢ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

1、 Dahao special multi-sequin design


The normal design making system identify a sequin code as a jump stitch, but it can not
distinguish sequin combinations from one stitch position. For instance, it can not recognize it’s
a sequin A or B at one stitch position. Dahao special multi-sequin design making is to add a
few jump stitch codes after the original sequin code(jump stitch or stitch length is less than
0.1mm)to indicate sequin combination. Thus achieve embroidering overlap sequin on one
stitch position. For instance, “A+C” means overlap sequin of A and C.
Rule is as follows:
The value of sequin A is 1,we use 1 sequin code.
The value of sequin B is 2,we use 1 sequin code plus 1 jump stitch.
The value of sequin A+B is 3,we use 1 sequin code plus 2 jump stitches.
The value of sequin C is 4,we use 1 sequin code plus 3 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+C is 5,we use 1 sequin code plus 4 jump stitches.
The value of sequin B+C is 6,we use 1 sequin code plus 5 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+B+C is 7,we use 1 sequin code plus 6 jump stitches.
The value of sequin D is 8,we use 1 sequin code plus 7 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+D is 9,we use 1 sequin code plus 8 jump stitches.
The value of sequin B+D is 10,we use 1 sequin code plus 9 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+B+D is 11,we use 1 sequin code plus 10 jump stitches.
The value of sequin C+D is 12,we use 1 sequin code plus 11 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+C+D is 13,we use 1 sequin code plus 12 jump stitches.
The value of sequin B+C+D is 14,we use 1 sequin code plus 13 jump stitches.
The value of sequin A+B+C+D is 15,we use 1 sequin code plus 14 jump stitches.
2、 Making trace for multi-sequin
By using trace, we can easily input sequin or sequin combinations. Example: A, B, A+B,
C, A+C, B+C, A+B+C, D, A+D, B+D, A+B+D, C+D, A+C+D, B+C+D, A+B+C+D, etc.
We here take sequin B designing as an example.
Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

1) Open any design making software. First we zoom in the blank to certain scale(it is
for easily input sequins in a place)and go into sequin state.

2) Input a sequin.

3) Since the value of sequin B is 2, we should put 2 sequins in here, which means, we
have to add another sequin.

4) Continue to type in other single-stitches.


5) You can see “stitch list” shows 2 sequins as the following image.
6) Select all stitches.

BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual 149


Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

7) Making trace, group is JP, name is JP-B


8) Type in two reference point.

3、 Single needle multi-sequin, you can use “stitch form -> trace -> apply”. Then
“manual stitch” to finish entering.
Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

4、 Others (curve)can apply trace too.


1) Click sequin button to enter “sequin state” (this is to ensure all the curve course
have sequin). Enter the curve as the following.

Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

2) Select a target.

3) Set “target properties” and select related trace.


Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

4) “Multi-sequin” input is finished.


5、 Making alternate sequin
This is to realize embroidering of different sequin alternate. For instance, A1B1
embroidery to realize embroidering A, B, A, B…
1) First you should design alternate trace. As the following A1B1 alternate design:

BECS-316/366 Computerized Embroidery Machine’s Manual 153


Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

2) Apply the above trace to achieve alternate A1B1.


6、 Design maker should build up design data base
Now we have sequins: 3MM, 4MM, 5MM, 6.75MM and 9MM. while the first needle
position can have 4 sequin delivery devices at most. So we can get the following 15
combinations: A,B,AB,C,AC,BC,ABC,D,AD,BD, ABD,CD,ACD,BCD,ABCD.
The design data base emerges different sequin size with sequin combination.
If there are two sequin delivery devices A and B. A design document uses 3MM
sequin and 5MM. Then the design data base should contain 3MM-A base, 5MM-B base,
and 5MM-AB base. While the other design data base uses 4MM and 6.75MM, then the
design data base should contain 4MM-A, 6.75MM-B and 6.75MM-AB.
If there are three sequin delivery devices A, B and C. A design document uses
3MM, 4MM and 6.75MM, then the design data base should contain 3MM-A base,
4MM-B base, 4MM-AB base, 6.75MM-C base, 6.75MM-AC base, 6.75MM-BC base
and 6.75MM-ABC base. While the other design data base uses 3MM, 6.75MM and
9MM. Then the design data base should contain 3MM-A base, 6.75MM-B base,
6.75MM-AB base, 9-C base, 9-AC base, 9-BC base and 9-ABC base.
Other sequin design data bases are as the same
The alternate sequin design data base should combine single and overlap sequins.
For instance, 3MM-A sequin base and 4MM-AB sequin base can form alternate sequin
of 3MM-A & 4MM-AB, which achieves embroidering effect of A, AB, A, AB…
7、 Normal sequin design to Dahao special sequin design
According to the above rules, we just need to insert some jump stitch after “sequin code”
to change the original sequin code to “multi-sequin code”.
Apendix Ⅲ:Making of Special Multi-Sequin Design

1) If you want to change the first sequin code to A+B sequin code, you need to
locate to that stitch first(its character is to let down the sequin).
2) Right click “insert jump stitch” twice to insert two jump stitches after the original
sequin code.
3) You can see the stitch list as the following image. The first sequin is overlap A+B,
the second one is sequin A.
