This document describes the JUKI AMS-210E series sewing machine, a specialized industrial sewing machine designed for various pattern sewing applications. It covers the mechanical and operational aspects of the machine, including installation, preparation, basic and advanced operation, and maintenance.
Function Description
The AMS-210E is a programmable pattern sewing machine capable of sewing complex shapes and patterns. It features a double-capacity semi-rotary hook for efficient thread handling and a stepping motor-driven intermittent feed system for precise fabric movement. The machine can store a significant number of patterns, either in its internal EEP-ROM (up to 200 patterns, 20,000 stitches/pattern) or on Smart Media (up to 999 patterns, 50,000 stitches/pattern).
Key functions include:
- Pattern Sewing: The primary function, allowing users to select and sew pre-programmed or custom patterns.
- Enlarging/Reducing Facility: Patterns can be scaled independently on the X and Y axes from 1% to 400% (0.1% steps), either by adjusting stitch length or the number of stitches.
- Temporary Stop Facility: Allows the machine to pause operation during a stitching cycle for adjustments or interventions.
- Bobbin Thread Counter: Tracks bobbin thread usage, with UP/DOWN counting from 0 to 9,999.
- Sewing Counter: Monitors the number of sewing cycles performed (UP/DOWN method, 0 to 9,999, IP-400 only).
- Memory Back-up: Automatically stores the current pattern in memory in case of a power interruption.
- 2nd Origin Setting: Users can set a secondary origin (needle position after a sewing cycle) within the sewing area using jog keys, which is also stored in memory.
- Needle Highest Position Stop Facility: After sewing completion, the needle can be brought to its highest position.
- Thread Clamp Device: Prevents thread slip-off, stitch skipping, and thread stains at high-speed starts, reducing "bird's nests" on the wrong side of the fabric. It ensures stable sewing by clamping the needle thread.
- Combination Sewing: Allows for combining multiple pattern data to sew complex sequences, with up to 30 patterns inputtable and 20 combination sewing data registrable.
- Communication Function: Enables downloading and uploading sewing data from other JUKI machines, editing devices (PM-1), or personal computers via Smart Media or RS-232C port.

Usage Features
The AMS-210E can be operated via two types of control panels: IP-400 (LCD touch panel) or CP-20 (LED/7-segment display).
IP-400 (LCD Touch Panel):
- Intuitive Interface: Features a touch panel LCD for easy navigation and data input.
- Pattern Selection: Allows selection of patterns from EEP-ROM, Smart Media (Vector format, M3 data, Sewing standard format), and user-registered patterns.
- Item Data Changing: Users can adjust X/Y scale rates, thread tension, maximum sewing speed, and intermediate presser height.
- Temporary Stop: Provides options to continue sewing from a specific point or re-sew from the start after a temporary stop.
- Bobbin Winding: Can wind bobbin thread while sewing or independently.
- Counter Function: Includes sewing counter and bobbin thread counter with UP/DOWN methods and settable values.
- Pattern Registration: New user patterns and pattern buttons can be registered and named.
- Combination Sewing: Facilitates the creation and selection of combination sewing data.
- Memory Switch Data: Allows changing various machine settings via memory switches.
- Information Display: Provides maintenance, inspection, production control, and working measurement information.
- Communication: Supports data transfer via Smart Media and RS-232C.
CP-20 (LED/7-segment Display):
- Basic Operation: Provides essential controls for pattern selection, X/Y scale, max. sewing speed, thread tension, and intermediate presser height.
- Pattern Registration: Allows registering patterns to specific keys (P1-P25) for one-touch selection.
- Bobbin Winding: Supports bobbin winding operations.
- Bobbin Thread Counter: Can be used as a bobbin thread counter with a subtracting method, stopping the machine when the specified number of stitches is reached.
