Automatic sewing machine having a driving mechanism for driving a cloth presser unit according to a sewing pattern

摘要

An automatic sewing machine control device in which the movement of the presser unit which takes place while the thread take-up lever moves from the bottom dead point to the top dead point is minimized thereby to increase the tension of the upper thread. Even when the load weight applied to a bi-axial drive mechanism increases or the thickness of the sewing material changes, excellent seams can be formed. In a control device for an automatic sewing machine, a start timing unit is provided which starts the bi-axial drive mechanism with respective timing modes. A plurality of drive control data for a drive motor and stepping motors are stored in memory unit which correspond to the load weights applied to the bi-axial drive mechanism and the thicknesses of materials to be sewed.
