High speed electronically controlled chainstitch imitation sleeve buttonhole machine designed for sewing purely decorative and non-functional buttonholes on jacket sleeves. The chainstitch imitation sleeve buttonhole machine is programmable to sew automatically up to 8 imitation buttonholes at specific distances between each buttonhole. The machine clamps can be set to sew imitation buttonholes at an angle of 0 to 6 degree from a sleeve cuff. The chainstitch imitation sleeve buttonhole machine is offered with large touch screen display that uses easily understood symbols and graphics to simplify the adjustments. The optional laser lights marks the position of the sleeve at the beginning of sewing cycle. The high sewing speed up to 3800 spm and the short sewing cycle increase productivity and the single pedal electronic start reduces operator fatigue.

Electronic Stop and Start Motion

The electronic start and stop motion extends machine life and improves machine reliability by eliminating the stop motion and clutch mechanisms.

Patented Mechanisms

The S-4000 contains six patented mechanisms:

Needle Bar Drive

Looper Drive

Main Cam

Double Lobe Cam

Bite Mechanisms

Feed Mechanisms

Fully Enclosed Mechanism

C Drive Motor is fully enclosed within the head casting, eliminating the need for an under the table mounted clutch motor, pulley, belt and brake. This reduces required maintenance and eliminates oil and dust around the working area.

Control Panel

Machine is equipped with a touch screen display using easily understood symbols and graphics .

Decorative No-Cut Buttonhole

The S-4000 ISBH produces a buttonhole which has a similar appearance to a normal buttonhole but is purely decorative and non-functional. This type of buttonhole is not cut and is used on the sleeves of mens and ladies jackets, suits and sports coats. Since this buttonhole is not cut, and is done on a fast chainstitch machine, sewing at speeds up to 3, 800 spm, the operator is able to sew 2 3 times more jacket/coat sleeves, than with a conventional buttonhole machine.

Only one square bar is sewn while at the other end the small stitch gives the appearance of a rounded end. On the finished garment the button is sewn over the square bar. The size of the buttonhole is from 15, 8 mm to 25 mm (5/8 to 1). To see the difference between the regular and ISBH buttonhole please see the drawings below.

Productivity & Flexibility

Chainstitch buttonholing provides increased productivity with no bobbin change. The elasticity of the chainstitch also provides the flexibility needed for many fabrics such as knitwear.

Pneumatic Clamping, Cutting and Thread Trimming

Pneumatic cuttingreduces the number of adjustments and increases the consistency and reliability of the cut.

Pneumatic clampingreacts to different thicknesses and types of fabric.

Pneumatic thread trimminggives consistent and reliable trimming at the end of each sewing cycle.

Semi-Automatic Lubrication System and Oil Monitor

The S-4000 series is equipped with the drip oil wick lubrication system and oil level monitor. This system prolongs the machine life and reliability.

High Speed Sewing with Reduced Noise Level

The S-4000 series has electronically adjustable sewing speed up to 3, 800 spm and are the fastest chainstitch buttonhole and special application machines available. Due to the DC Drive Motor the machine is 20% faster than other models. The noise level is also significantly lower on the S-4000.

The S-311 electronically controlled, fully programmable eyelet buttonhole machine provides the user with total flexibility and versatility with a wide variety of models. Machine is equipped with new, faster control system, including 20% reduced cycle time, and new larger touch screen display.Optional accessories, especially designed for jacket applications, provide higher cutting flexibility including the desired cutting position. These facilitate the production of buttonholes in one operation without any follow-up work.

X-Y Electronic Control Motors

This X-Y machine is driven by three stepper motors and an induction motor. The stepper motors control the rotation of the sewing race, the horizontal and lateral movements of the machine. An induction motor drives the needle bar movement.

Programmable Cycle Sewing

Cycle sewing, which is a standard feature on all models, allows up to 21 different buttonholes to be sewn in 47 different programs. For example the operator can set the machine to sew any of the buttonhole styles in any combinations such as 2x eyelet, 1x no eye, 1x eyelet with crossbar. These programs can be easily set by the operator from the control panel.

Ultra Flexibility on Mens Suit Applications

Thank to our Ultraflex accessories the buttonhole applications on the mens suits are now very easy. With a combination of the lapel system and the lapel optical sensor the machine provides the operator with partial cutting of the lapel buttonhole in precisely specified place and automatically recognizes the correct buttonhole from the cycle mode. These new accessories are available only for machines that are equipped with Automatic Cutting Length (ACL) System. Please refer to the Optional Accessories for more details.

Sewing Speed up to 2, 000 spm

The sewing speed is adjustable from 1, 000 2, 000 spm on the touch screen. The sewing speed can also be adjusted at the start and end position as well as around the eye to ensure excellent sewing quality even on more difficult materials.

Sewing Patterns

The AF and LTT models are capable of sewing the same range of buttonhole types with eye or no eye (open end, basic adjustable flybar, crossbar, round end). All CT models are used only for buttonholes with flybar finishing. To view available sewing patterns please click here. Gimp is applicable in all models, excluding the RDE model, but not recommended when the crossbar type buttonhole is selected.

It adopts sliding bar thread take-up and vertical rotary hook to form two-thread Iockstitch. The arm shaft and hook shaft transfer the driver by high-precise spiral bevel gear. Push-button stitch regulator and level style back-sewing device make the machine operating easily. It is designed with post-bed of 178mm in height and provided with roller presser foot to perform sewing in wide space under arm. It features manual lubrication, simple structure, low noise, smooth running and easy maintenance. It is available for corner sewing on leather shoes, sport shoes, leather bags, gloves and other similar articles.
