Set racking basic correction VGK


The position of the rear needle bed relative to the front needle bed is set with the VGK value (factory setting).

If part of the racking device is replaced, e.g. the racking motor or the racking belt, the VGK value has to be set anew. During installation, make sure that the front and rear needle beds are opposite each other.
The VGK value always remains saved, even if the operating system is imported again.

    8
    Push up several opposing needles at various positions of the needle bed (left, center, right) on both needle beds until the needle hooks touch each other.
    9
    Check whether the needle hooks of the front and rear needle bed are exactly in a line.

    Adjust VPK value.
    (To be able to determine the VGK value you had to set the VPK value to 0 (in step 4). After having determined the VGK value you must set the VPK value again.)
  1. The setting process is complete.

Volendo, il valore VGK può essere salvato inoltre:

su un USB Memory Stick

su un'unità di rete (tasto "Copy Dongle")

Selezione errata – singoli aghi non lavorano più

In caso di selezione errata, la sincronizzazione "Generatore di impulsi – Controllo – Sistema di selezione" non sarà più ottimale. La causa è imputabile alla grande discrepanza tra il valore VGK precedente e nuovo.

Per la sincronizzazione occorre eseguire il test "Spostamento selezione aghi"..
