Needle Detectors

The machine is equipped with two needle detectors:

• On the right side of the carriage front
• On the left side of the carriage back

The needle detector (1) checks the height of the fabric in the needle area.

If needles are defective (e.g. latch breakage), there is a danger of the fabric not being taken down downward and gathering in the needle area.

The machine will then stop automatically to prevent from a major damage.
