TEXI Tronic 5 operation manual
12. Thread cutting regulation
1. Thread cutter cam position regulation. Turn the machine’s pulley. The needle bar will rise to 5 mm from the
lower dead point, and the thread cutting cam will be pressed in and will push the roller ball, causing contact with
the groove of the thread cutting cam [1]. Then use fixing screw [2] for temporary fastening. Put on the thread cut-
ting cam [4] while loosening screw [2], in order to set the cam [1]. The distance between the cam and the thread
cutting drive shaft should be equal to 0.5 mm. Fasten the fixing screw [2].
2. Counter knife and moving knife position regulation. When the thread cutting drive shaft head [3] crosses the cam,
a 0.2-0.5 mm meshing between the front plane of the counter knife [8] and the edge of the moving knife [7] occurs.
If cutting does not take place, shift the knife lever [6] so that the thread cutting drive shaft crosses the cam [1] so
that the front plane of the counter knife [8] and the edge of the moving knife [7] meshes, and then fasten screw [5].
