Sewing Head Components
There are several types of Barudan sewing heads, i.e. Y7, Y9, Z9, Z15. However, basic
components are the same for each.
1. Thread Guide Felt Pad Cover - Holds thread in place to prevent tangling and
keep thread clean.
2. Pretensioners - Adjust and control the top thread tension for each of the needles.
3. Head Control Switch - Enables/disables thread break detection on each head and
cancels the head, so that it does not sew.
4. Thread Break Detector Wheel - When a problem occurs with the thread, the
thread detection LED blinks red.
5. Top Thread Tensioners - Adjust the top thread tension for each of the needles.
6. Take-Up Spring - Helps form stitches.
7. Automend Button - Controls the reversing of the pantograph for repair work or
overstitching.
8. Thread Detection LED - LED shows top thread problem by blinking red, and
slider error problem by fast blinking red.
9. Take-Up Lever - Pulls the thread through the fabric after the stitch has been
made. Controls the flow of thread during stitch formation.
10. Presser Foot - Holds down the fabric during sewing.
